How use automation to send Bluetooth BLE advertiser packet data to devices?

1

Hello,
I need help setting up my HA to control my bluetooth device by sending an advertising packet that I recorded earlier.

how do i set up an automation script to make the ad pack send?

I have a code recorded by the scanner that needs to be sent via bluetooth
data:
packet: FF5556188752B65F2B5E00FC3151D09C940824CB70FC7CAEBFD8DDCDFFFF

have a look here:

ios - How can I clone a non-paired BLE signal from a remote to trigger a device? - Stack Overflow

and here:

Will bluetooth now work? · Issue #5 · manymuch/Xgimi-4-Home-Assistant (github.com)

Would be nice though if the Bluetooth Integration could do this too.

Did you finally get anything working? Would you mind sharing? Thanks!

When you follow the links I posted above you will find answers. You can e.g. use the XGIMI remote control integration for this. It can also be hard coded or soft coded into ESPHome based ESP32 controller.

Can you share some more information about how to make this work with ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy?

This is the code I use to run Bluetooth Proxy and XGIMI projector wakeup advertising on the same ESP32:
