I only have one connected ‘[0]’ only. Based on the information you’ve shared I’d expect you also to have 0 or possibly 1
I’m able to control my bed, but it’s going wild when I press a button. It’s not stopping controlling the bed and with the ‘delay’ it’s shocking (start/stop/start/stop).
I have to unplug the ESP32 to get the bed under control. I thought I could just ‘hold’ the button to control it and when I let go it stops. Anyone any idea?
The/my original remote is sending commands multiple times per second. That’s why I send it every 300ms for 30 seconds.
I do recognize that when I first send ‘up’ and within the 30 seconds ‘down’ it will send up/down/up/down commands, which is not good… I still need to work on preventing that…
Is that what happened on your side?
I think that may be part of the issue indeed. Trying to thinker further on how to make this smooth.
Is there a way within ESPhome, like with the actual physical remote, to ‘on_hold’ the button and it stops when you release?
If you attach a button to ESPHome you can use Binary Sensor Component — ESPHome
I do not see how to do this with a button in home assistant
I noticed that most of the script (snippets) above work when there is a connection made manually by using the Octo app but after a (short) while the connection drops off. It seems like - when I look at the Octo app - there is no ‘binding’ saved by ESPHome
(Strangely, the light control continues to work though)
Anyone know how to store or save the binding?
I do not completely understand, do you use Octo app and HA in parallel?
Why would you need a binding? The ‘esp32_ble_tracker:’ keeps scanning periodically
If I understand you correctly, you first connect using the Octo app and then get things working in HA, and not without the use of the app?
I can control the light easily. (as some also stated) but when I send a command by either button/switch (template) - nothing happens. When I turn on the app - which is connected to my bed - the commands do work when I send a command by either button/switch in hassio.
The connection becomes active by the ble scan
Do you have the repeat active?
One time sending will not completely move the bed
Connection
I tested it again, when I turn on the app and control the bed my YAML-code works, until it loses connection when I close the app.
This is the code I’m currently trying out:

I expect you did fill the right MAC addresses?
I’m not sure what the effect of commenting the ble scan parameters is?
What do you see when the following part is not commented out? (The ble advertise part)
Do you see connection status in the logging?
Why do you stop ble scan upon first connect? If the connection gets lost it will not reconnect
The code above is pretty messy, I can share my cleaned-up version end of the week (please remind me if I forget)
He! Yes, I did fill in the right Mac address 
I’ve been playing around with many ble configurations. Yes, I have adjusted that by commenting that out (stop ble scan).
Three hypotheses I have:
- You have to press the star2 connected twice to ‘pair’ or ‘add’ another remote. Both for the app and for the physcial remote. So maybe it has something to do with this.
- There is something wrong the yaml-code and to connect it needs some specific connection sequence
- The ESPHome’s command structure might not be perfectly matching what the bed expects. Maybe the app uses a slightly different format or timing for the commands.
I’ve updated my automation
- Adding second bed (including connection state monitor)
- General cleanup and fixing not working parts (I was only using the had movement part)
- Preventing issues by user sending parallel up-and down commands on the same part of the bed
- Mind head-up-movement for bed_Annick is limited in height

Thank you for sharing! I tested it (and only used one of the 2 beds 
)
The code acts the same. Here’s a snipped of my log:

The light works but the commands don’t do anything
When I turn on the app and make a connection, the ESPHOME code works:
[14:17:56][I][esp32_ble_client:067]: [0] [F6:21:DD:DD:6F:19] 0x01 Attempting BLE connection

[14:18:01][I][esp32_ble_client:227]: [0] [F6:21:DD:DD:6F:19] Connected
Almost as if it just doesn’t (want) to connect before.
How do I force a connection?
The BLE scan results in a connection. B.t.w., In HA you should now also be able to see the connection state.
Logging seems all fine as far as I can conclude.
I think I have the Octobox Octo-Box - Octo (octo-actuators.de) (or maybe an older generation of this).
Possibly you have a different type of controller requiring different commands for the bed movement. Only way to know for sure is to log the bluetooth communication between the app on your phone and the bed itself to find out the actual commands sent. An instruction like this Bluetooth packet capture with Wireshark on Android | NowSecure can help

I used PacketLogger, it does the same trick.
What I did is to see what happens when I open the octo app without sending commands myself.
It seems it’s sending some commands (see the values in the screenshot). I tried to reproduce within ESPHome by trying to automatically sending the same commands but I’m not getting a connection. Maybe someone else can crack this, I’m out of ideas.
There’s a developer who is integrating a bunch of bed-control-brands in home-assistant by using Esphome’s Bluetooth Proxy You can find his git here: GitHub - richardhopton/smartbed-mqtt
Now just waiting for Octo to be implemented. You can follow the project on Discord: Smartbed MQTT
Ok could be nice, created a ticket for this referring to this thread
