Espresense can't workaround Galaxy Watch BT mac address randomization

Hi @Gil80

The solution might be to enable the “BLE Transmitter” in the Home Assistant app directly on the watch:

  • Open the Home Assistant app on the watch
  • Go to “Settings” at the bottom
  • Open “Manage Sensors”
  • Open “Bluetooth Sensors”
  • Enable “BLE Transmitter”

In my case, the iBeacon became visible in ESPresense when the “BLE Transmitter” was enabled.

Please be aware that this feature potentially uses a lot of power. In another thread, Davizinho shows how to turn the ‘BLE Transmitter’ on/off on the watch using an automation:

I hope this solution works for you too :slight_smile:
