into a ESPHome custom sensor. I Don’t need the MQTT or OLED display part, just the BLE heart rate as a sensor. I’ve had a go myself but without any luck. Is it actually possible with the connection classes outside of the ‘void setup’ and ‘void loop’. I’ve only just started with ESPHome and I’m not very good with advanced coding (well advanced to me anyway).
ok. so i stripped out the mqtt and display code i didn’t need. I realise there’s no actual output yet. At the moment i’m just wanting to show some stuff up in the logs when the ble connects but i don’t get any ‘custom’ log outputs.

The code will compile with these warnings:
In file included from src/main.cpp:15:0:

}

Appreciate if anyone could give me some pointers to what i’m done wrong.
