M5stack update confusion

ESPHome
1

I’m quite new to using ESPHome having only got a bluetooth proxy setup recently.

After updating my HA Green to Core 2025.5.3, I got a notification that my m5stack atom lite should be updated to ESPHome 2025.5.0.

I headed over to the ESPHome ready-made projects which I used to originally setup to Atom Lite as a bluetooth proxy. Only to discover it’s no longer a listed device.

Is the m5stack no longer supported as a bluetooth proxy, is there some other way I should be updating the device?

M5stack is listed under voice assistant

For proxy you just need to add it the config

but not the bluetooth proxy, which it originally was.

I think you are confusing the Lite with the Echo… OP is asking about the Lite, which doesn’t have a microphone or speaker.

5

Maybe I am misunderstanding things (still wet behind the ears with esphome) is there a way to flash the atom lite with the base ESPhome image outside of the linked wab page so that I can build upon it to manually add bluetooth (or other sensors if desired)

6

There is an add-on, ESPHome Device Builder, for managing, editing, and updating your ESPHome devices from HA.

7

yes. I was thinking atom echo

You can just use the device builder addon or docker container for atom lite or any other esp device

This seems to be what I was looking for.

Thankin you @Didgeridrew and @tmjpugh

If you need it, the “official” config for an Atom Lite Bluetooth Proxy can be found in the depths of the ESPHome Github repo:

I confirm the confusion for the user! I have a new M5stack I wanted to quickly configure using the ready-made projects, and found that the M5Stack lite was removed from the BT proxy list.

Is there any reason why it was removed?

Thanks

Does it not qualify as “generic esp32” device?
Why can’t you use that “ready made project”
