Help configuring and using BT Proxy

ESPHome
1

At this point, my mind is fried so im back looking for a nudge.

I finally flashed my GL-S10 v2.1 and got it added to HA via the ESPhome integration. Thats it. I have nothing in my config file for it.

I removed my BT integration because apparently my BT dongle stopped working anyway?? My understanding is that I can use the Proxy without an additional bluetooth dongle.

So I have this level door lock that I am trying to pair. And I keep getting an ‘unhandled exception error’ when pairing. I have no doubt this is something im doing incorrectly, but I really have no idea how to troubleshoot this.

Not sure what you mean by this. What did you remove and how?

Meaning, you flashed your GL-S10 with ESPHome via your ESPHome dashboard in your ESPHome add-on, right? Afterwards you did add the device through the ESPHome integration or it got autodiscovered in HA?

The reason why I’m writing the two names in bold is, these are different things.

Any log entires on this one?

I have a BT dongle in my Linux PC running HA. This was my original setup before moving to the ESPhome Proxy. So had the ‘bluetooth’ integration installed to handle this. That integration has been removed, and now I have the ESPHome integration. There are no other BT devices other than the proxy

All great questions - thanks.

I do NOT have any ESPhome addons. I used the BlackAdder method and flashed it over the web. I think its running something like ESPHome 23.11.x

I DO have the ESPHome integration and once I added that integration to HA, the BT-Proxy device showed up automatically and I added it to a Room in HA. And thats basically where I stopped. As I said earlier, there are no other BT Devices in the system that I am aware of

As for the logs, ill work on getting those
