I have several ESP home devices and have enabled BLE proxy in some of the devices. I have a Husqvarna Automower with only bluetooth connection and would like to be able to control it from HA. I want to add enough ESP Home devices with BLE proxies to cover my whole garden, but I can’t even get the mower to connect to a proxy. I see the BLE Mac address int the integration of my HA, but I can’t get it connected.
Should this not be a use case where BLE proxies could be used, or am I mistaken?
The proxy themselves are only part of the solution they’re only antenna. What other software are you using. (sorry not 100% on what the automower needs to be supported in HA?) got instance I wanted location awareness so I then installed Bermuda to track devices. It USES the BLE proxy. The BLE proxy on its own doesn’t automatically do it…
HA itself doesn’t pair like a mobile phone would. The Bluetooth and BLE integrations just provide the communications channel - you also need a specific integration for each device you want to control. There does seem to be one for Husqvarna:
Yes, I understand that the BLE proxy is only a channel of communication. But what I can’t understand is whether or not a bluetooth device such as my Husqvarna shouldn’t be able to communicate with HA through all of my BLE proxies when it moves around (outside) the house. I would believe that I only need to pair the mower to the integration and the all of the BLE proxies are just antennas. Is this correct?
Thank You.
