Can someone please tell me what I’ve gotten wrong in this code?
It’s a standard ESP32 WROOM I’m using and, using it as a BT proxy as well as trying to set up presence using an LD2410C based on the code here:
I can’t for the life of me work out where I’ve gone wrong after 2 hours staring at it! Everything shows up fine, just all entries show as “unavailable” or :unknown".

So everything shows up but is unknown?
What ESP32 chip are you using exactly? (What board/make/brand) You might have the wrong pins.

Thanks, you are correct, I changed the pins and it all sprung to life.
Typical, driving me nuts for hours and comes down a simple, silly error.
