Is it possible to use the new Bluetooth Proxy feature on an ESP8266 and more specifically on an ESP8266 which is used for other purposes like tagreader or a remote switch?
The ESP8266 does not have Bluetooth.
I have seen add-on Bluetooth modules but at that point just get a ESP32 and transfer the current config over.

Thanks! I am just annoyed to have one more thing plugged into my wall socket at random places in my home.
Between esp8266, wifi repeater, zigbee repeater, etc…
I installed proxy on my existing devces (dimmer, thermo, power meter…), so there’s no new device in my home because of that. To be honest, i think it’s a waste of ESP32 to have it just as proxy.There’s soooo much more it can do… using it as proxy middle-man is just a side function.
But, if you have several 8266 devices you can replace one (or more) of them with ESP32 model and you’re done.
Hello @Protoncek and @silvrr,
I bought a C3 mini Lolin to replace the D1 mini within my tagreader but what should be the pinout? And what about the code?
