Festool Connected — local BLE integration for Festool 18 V batteries
Just released v1.0.0 of ha-festool-connected, a custom integration that picks up your Festool 18 V batteries over Bluetooth — no MyFestool account, no cloud, no app required.
What it does
- Passive BLE discovery via service UUID
0xFE39/ manufacturer ID0x044F - One sensor per battery: state-of-charge %
- Friendly model name resolved from a bundled catalog of 200+ Festool BLE SKUs (BP 18 LI 5,2 ASI, BP 18 LI 4,0 HPC-ASI, BP 18 TBX 8, …)
- Shows materialNumber, serialNumber and software-version on the device card
- Diagnostic sensors for charge / discharge state (disabled by default)
- Read-only, passive only — discovers everything the Festool app shows in the "Akkupacks → Außer Reichweite" list
Works with any HA BLE source
Built-in USB dongle, ESPHome BT proxy, Shelly Plus/Pro/Gen3+ scanner — passive is enough. No connectable proxy required.
