I created a Bluetooth Proxy on an ESP32 from the ESPHome creation wizard website.
The device is working and connected to my network (it has a IP address).
Is there a way to import it into the ESPHome dashboard to be displayed alongside my manually created (via yaml) devices? I don’t see an obvious way to do it but the ESPHome BT proxy page implies that it’s possible (see under the “for advanced users” section):
If I click the link it opens a “my home assistant” link but when I click it I get a 404 error. I think that’s because it’s looking for the ESPHome Dashboard add-on that don’t have on HA Container install. But I’ve installed the dashboard in Docker so the dashboard does exist and shows all my other devices.
Any instructions for this anywhere? Google doesn’t seem to be any help.
Not if it’s on a different VLAN… I have that issue and haven’t figured out a work-around other than to re-flash a device from within the ESPhome dashboard. ie: when I bought Athom presence sensors that were pre-configured.
I had this problem when I created my two ratgdo. HA and ESPHome are both in docker containers on the same network as everything else. I created the ratgdo from the website and everything there said it would just show up in the dashboard and I could adopt. Except they never showed up. I ended up having to manually create the ESPHome device from the dashboard and download from there.
It’s not technically that big of a deal but that’s as long as everything just works.
right now I can’t find a way to read any logs from the device or perform any updates to the device since it doesn’t show up anywhere except the Unifi network interface.
And that means that I can’t even perform an OTA transition from the web installed version to a yaml coinfigured version without connecting it back to my PC and doing a manual download.
I’m really kind of surprised there’s not even a built-in web interface that I can visit for the device.
