ESP32 HID device compiling error

ESPHome
1

I am trying to set up a HID ble remote device https://www.daraz.pk/products/i3176167-s1293326595.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1 as a trigger in esphome using this custom component GitHub - fsievers22/esphome-ble-remote: ESPHome custom component for a BLE remote (FireTV-Stick remote)

I tried the following code

esphome:
  name: aquariumnode
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32dev
    framework:
    type: esp-idf
    sdkconfig_options:
      CONFIG_BT_ENABLED: y

  includes:
    - ble_hid_client.h
    - ble_hid_client.cpp


wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password


  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Esp-Br-Node Fallback Hotspot"
    password: "kKfOVX4ic1Sl"

# Example configuration entry
web_server:
  port: 80

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API

esp32_ble_tracker:
captive_portal:

ble_client:
  # Replace with the MAC address of your device.
  - mac_address: 40:00:13:F4:A7:CD
    id: itag_black

sensor:
  - platform: ble_client
    name: itag_black
    ble_client_id: itag_black
    service_uuid: '1812'
    characteristic_uuid: '2a19'  
  - platform: ble_client
    ble_client_id: itag_black
    name: "button keys"
    service_uuid: "1812"
    characteristic_uuid: "2a4d"
    notify: true
    on_notify:
      - lambda: 'ESP_LOGD("KEY", "value: %f", x);' 
custom_component:
  - id: ble_hid
    lambda: |-
      auto ble_component = new BleHidClientComponent();
      App.register_component(ble_component);
      return {ble_component};
text_sensor:
  - platform: custom
    lambda: |-
      return {ble_hid_keycode(ble_hid)};
    text_sensors:
      - name: "KeycodeSensor"

binary_sensor:
  - platform: custom
    lambda: |-
      return {ble_hid_keypress(ble_hid)};
    binary_sensors:
      - name: "KeypressSensor"

but it throws a throws error target_platform error. I did place the .cpp and .h files in esphome directory. and changed the mac address in .cpp file.

Please post also the log file so we can see the exact error.

progress
issue was with esp32 and esphome blocks

Well that’s a known ‘external’ issue, the required platformio package is not available for the arm 64 bits platform you are using now to compile the firmware. This has to be solved by the platformio maintainers. A workaround is to install ESPHome on your local pc or use the ESPHome docker container on your local pc or a not arm64 device like f.i. a NAS

I have already installed esphome on windows and was compiled from it.
