Same question. I’ve got a Cosori tea kettle that uses BlueTooth and I’m wondering if I can get HA to interact with it.

Curiously, I set it up initially with my wife’s iPhone using the Vesync app. I then installed the Android version onto my phone and logged in with her account. Her phone is no longer on-site and somehow my Android phone is still capable of controlling the Kettle. I’m assuming there’s something other than regular ‘paired bluetooth’ involved here? Might that same thing be possible from HA using BT hardware? Right now I have no BT interface on the HA install (it’s inside a VM)

Certain models you are able to flash to get them local, but the issue is that the Vesync app requires your DNS to always be set to 8.8.8.8 and nothing else.

I have the 200s that I bought to replace my dumb one I was using at the time but the main reply I got on the thread mentions that the 300 and 400 are the ones that can be made to be local, I have yet to try with my 200s as I am looking at a matter based one for when its time to replace it and I don’t think it has what I would need to flash it:

I purchased a 200s to give it the same esphome local treatment as the 300s and 400s but it is still sitting in the box. I intended to turn these into a proper esphome external component with directions to flash but haven’t gotten around to finishing this project.
