Hi,

I installed BLProxy (ESPHome) on a ESP32-WROOM-32D. Here is the yaml file

substitutions:
name: “r12-blproxy-01”
packages:
esphome.bluetooth-proxy: github://esphome/bluetooth-proxies/esp32-generic.yaml@main
esphome:
name: ${name}
name_add_mac_suffix: false

logger:

wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password
esp32_ble_tracker:
scan_parameters:
active: True
bluetooth_proxy:
active: true

after installation of the firmware i can see the following logs:

I tested a iBeacon App on Android. But this Ibeacon was never found

Any idea what is going wrong? Thanks.

Maybe its not compatible.

I only use xiaomi sensors, it shows in HA

Try upping the log level (VERBOSE or VERY_VERBOSE) to see if anything is being reported.

logger:
  level: VERBOSE
