thought that bluetooth proxy and flic buttons would be the answer to my wife’s unwillingness to get involved in my home automation hobby… no problem…i’ll get some Bluetooth proxies around the house and add flic buttons to automate what she needs…
found the Ready-Made Projects — ESPHome page…ordered the M5Stack Atom Lite and used that webpage to flash and install in HA…thought i was off to the races…got the flic button working intermittently… thought it was the button that was wonky…until i realized that the closer i was to my Rasberry PI 4, the better it worked aka i could unplug the proxy and it would not make a difference…it was not working at all
i did not at that point have the ESPhome add in so i added that and reflashed the device and still no luck…
right now i have the device showing online in the ESPhome add on web UI and the device is showing as installed on the ESPHome integration…but its not talking to my flic button and passing on the clicks to trigger the automations…
flic button has different color lights when you press, green indicting that its talking to a device and yellow/orange when its not connecting to anything…get constant yellow when clicking near the bluetooth proxy aka nobody home to talk to…
still not sure if this is a flic issue or a bluetooth proxy issue…
any pointers would be much appreciated…see below for a glimpse of what is going on in the logs…
