good day!
recently I’ve learned about the ESPHome and ESP32 boards and decided to play with them.
Use case, I have ~60 meter flat, HA is on the one corner, with BT dongle Feasycom, and around devices connected through BT
SInce a long time, I’ve got a problem with FlowerCare and TempSensor that are located in the far corner (very weak or no BT range there)
I’ve installed ESP32 Board with antenna as a BT Proxy “in the middle”. Lot of sensors (including those 2) are proxying but NOT REPORTING to HA
Below is the configuration for ESP32 Board, and logs for those 2 devices
What I could troubleshoot next ?

EDIT; currently I cannot see any devices proxying in the logs…
