ESPresence and Bluetooth Proxy on same device?

ESPHome
1

Hi all,

I’m not a user of ESPhome yet, but there are 2 projects which are interesting me, the newly launched bluetooth proxies, and ESPresence. I don’t want to buy double the devices to run both of these. Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to run both things on the same device simultaneously?

I wish you could could. I don’t think you can.

It would be great if ESPresence was a part of ESPHome or if ESPHome could do presence like ESPresence

You can proxy some bt devices yourself in esphome. I never used espresence but I proxied one bt device over an esp long ago, here I"m running a temperature sensor on the esp + another one over BT

Sounds like this would be different than the builtin hass BT proxy support though, right?
