BT Proxy Causing Entities To Not Update State in HA

ESPHome
1

After spending countless hours chasing red-herrings, I’ve narrowed down my issue to including BT Proxy in my YAML. Sharing this to maybe help someone else and to see if anyone has ideas on the root cause.

I’m currently on ESPHome 2024.4.2, but I assume the issue has been there for a while and I didn’t notice it as I tested things out (I also excluded BT Proxy for a while, to speed up compiling while building things out). The issue I was experiencing was that various entities that have binary states (switches, lights) on my ESPHome device would randomly but consistently not appear to respond to changes from within HA (I’d tell it to turn on, it would stay off indefinitely). I finally realized that if I simply reloaded the ESPHome integration for the device it would show the state that I had commanded it to (and would usually work for a couple cycles before having the same issue) which ultimately led me to realize it was simply an issue of the correct state not being passed on to HA (I also left the device overnight after having issues and the state would never update to the correct one on it’s own). So I’d tell a switch to go off, it would but HA didn’t know and only gave me the option to keep telling it to go off. I’ll mention that the logs showed no issues, but it also appeared to not show the state changes I was trying to effect (which was a large part of why I kept chasing red-herrings).

Here’s my YAML, but it’s QUITE long and I don’t think there’s anything really unique or particularly complex about it, mainly it’s a lot of duplication (it’s for a Keezer and I have 5 taps, so 5x a bunch of things).

Simply commenting out the BT Proxy part and it’s been working flawlessly for days and countless cycles of switching things on/off trying to get it to break again:

bluetooth_proxy:
  active: true

esp32_ble_tracker:

Anything jump out? This was a situation where I really had no specific need for BT Proxy, and getting rid of it ultimately allowed me to switch to the Arduino framework which then allowed me to use the Neopixel library, which is SOOOO much better than the alternative.

2

Do You re-flashed device via Serial while adding esp32_ble_tracker as per manual?
As well check out Use on single-core chips topic on same page.

Note:

The first time this component is enabled for an ESP32, the code partition needs to be resized. Please flash the ESP32 via USB when adding this to your configuration. After that, you can use OTA updates again.

3

Interesting, I’ve always read that note more in regards to ESPHome version (there were a number of updates in the past that required serially updating to get full benefit of coming from an older version), and so I’ve always serially flashed a basic YAML file first and then built things on top of that (including BT Proxy). I’ve never had an issue on the dozen or so other devices running BT Proxy I’ve done this with, but maybe I’ve been doing it wrong and just gotten lucky… Might have to pull the chip and try this.

All my ESP32s are dual-core, so that isn’t it, but thanks for the info!

4

I had a little free time, so I pulled the chip and flashed serially just now. I was JUST about convinced that it fixed things, and then it did the same thing again. Back to no more BT Proxy again… :slight_smile:

Thanks for the idea though! Regardless, I’ll make sure I include BT Proxy when I do my initial flash in the future.

5

Your yaml is relatively big. Bluetooth proxy is a resource hog. You have probably reached a resource limit.

Good thing they are cheap. Try a esp32 on is own.

6

Yeah, that’s what I’ve assumed is the case, it’s just a strange failure mode (and while it’s a big YAML file, it’s mostly just a bunch of variables being stored versus something obviously complex like a media player, voice assistant, etc.). Seems like it ought to at least throw an error in the log when it happens. The only other time I’ve ran into an issue with BT Proxy and resources, it simply threw an error during compiling.

Luckily I don’t have any actual need for BT Proxy on this device, as I have several near the same spot already.
