Connecting tuya fingerbot to esphome BT proxy

[shaikedem]

Hello all
I am just starting with esphome and BT
i have both esp32 and esp32 mini
i configured them both as BT proxies according to config samples i found in this community, see snippet of the esp32 mini below

i am trying to bind it to tuya BT fingerbots, like one in the attached picture, but it is not detected when the bots are in pairing mode (they both work and binds to tuya app and smartphone w/o problem)

im using latest HA core and esphome
HA core 2024.7.1
esphome 2024.6.6

i can see in the ESP log that it starts the BT scan periodically every 5 minutes
in my phone i can see the esphome BT mac address detected while it scans
but it wont identify these fingerbots as new devices/entities
In the verbose logs there is nothing besdies esp32 sending BT packets to scan

is there any special config needed to identify these BT fingerbots? do i need to flash something into them?

example:

esphome:
  name: esp32c-super-mini1
  friendly_name: esp32c-super-mini1
  project:
    name: esphome.web2
    version: '1.0'
  on_boot: #this is to avoid slow startup time because of BT and WiFi "interactions?" , check https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/2941#issuecomment-1331851692
    priority: 250
    then:
      - delay: 15s
      - lambda: |-
          id(ble_tracker).set_scan_continuous(true); 
          id(ble_tracker).start_scan();

esp32:
  board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
  framework:
    type: arduino

Is your fingerbot supported by HA?

The BT proxy only serves to extend the range of bluetooth up to your HA. On HA itself, some integration must be able to recognize and interact with the device.

Controlling Tuya Fingerbot over Bluetooth BLE (locally, no cloud, no bluetooth gateway)

I have recently bought Tuya/Adaprox Fingerbot Plus and it’s great… but it used to be impossible to connect it to Home Assistant directly and control it locally. You had to rely on slow (2-6sec delay) tuya cloud, which was awful. Fortunately, after going through the following threads, I have become more optimistic and hopeful, knowing that sooner or later there will be (un)official integration just for that.

i dont know if they are supported
is there a list of BT supported fingerbots? i dont mind to buy other brands

hi
i tried it - it stopped on adding integration w/o prompting for anything
