OK - this is going to get a little nuts as I’ve hit questions on a few levels.
Firstly, I’m running HA on a Pi 5. Since the OS update a while ago, I’m getting errors about bluetooth going quiet and being restarted. I’m not sure what’s going on behind that as I’m not seeing anything obvious… I’m possibly not looking in the right places for the logs… but I’m not sure there’s anything I can do about it.
So I’ve deployed an ESP32 Bluetooth Proxy. It works, but I hit some issues and another question on the way.
Firstly, I had an M5 Atom Echo, but on trying to inject the bluetooth proxy, it wanted 105% of resources and that went by the wayside.
Secondly, I’m having thoughts about the Home Assistant Preview Edition and enabling proxy on there. It’s not enabled in the default firmware and at present I’ve kept my HAPE separate from ESPHome to ensure I obtain the official firmware…
…but I’m having to make a choice here against porting it over to ESPHome in order to inject the proxy code, or leave it on its own and continue to use extra hardware for a bluetooth proxy.
I don’t have enough knowledge to make an informed decision so I’m asking for help please.
