Hi,

ESPHome BLE beacon is broadcasting only every 20 seconds.

[10:05:29.576][D][esp32_ble_beacon:077]: Setting BLE TX power
[10:05:29.618][D][esp32_ble_beacon:114]: BLE stopped advertising successfully
[10:05:49.603][D][esp32_ble_beacon:077]: Setting BLE TX power
[10:05:49.605][D][esp32_ble_beacon:114]: BLE stopped advertising successfully

Is there a way to change this schedule to a shorter period?

Thanks.

For me it seems the time you put there is doubled. Check your logs if the result is what you expect.

This is with time set to 2500ms, resulting in 5s gaps.
