I did use the bluetooth proxy version of the firmware as well to help extend bluetooth in the house, however the devices (4 of them) don’t detect presence until you are pretty close (1-2 meters instead of 4-5 meters). I was hoping someone might know what I am doing wrong.
Another issue I am having, and also less important, is with the custom graph card for it (Plotly).
What is supposed to look like
What mine looks like all the time:
It never shows anything in the graph with regard to presence and location. I did use the guide verbatim, and did change the .yaml to reflect my sensor, but no love on that.
Any help would be seriously appreciated as I have been trying for a bout 6 weeks to figure out why it doesn’t detect as well as other folks using the same device. Many thanks!
Any outcome about this? Just got my first one and I’m experiencing this. It picks me, but max range seems to be 1m or so. Then it loses me. Also it won’t detect more than 1 target (even with multitarget enabled)
It looks like the ESPHome YAML for the guide available is not freely available so it would make it very difficult for the community over here to help with debugging the issue.
My suggestion is to use one of the many freely available open source versions of the YAML for the LD2450 such as the ones below.
I have been using a number of ESP32+LD2450 sensor combos that I put together myself for some time now and the detection range for me is over 5m.
