I recently installed an Olimex Bluetooth Proxy and for the most part it has been working very well. It’s hardwired and PoE. I noticed that every 30min-2hours it will go offline for exactly 13:36 or 13:37 every time. The last time I was able to catch it while it was happening. All three of my devices connected to it were also showing as unavailable, but on the ESPHome dashboard it was showing the Olimex as online. I’ve checked the logs and don’t see anything other than it reporting as offline. If I power cycle the device while it is showing as unavailable it will come back online, but that’s not a long term solution. Any help would be appreciated.
That seems suspiciously close to the default API reboot timeout of 15 minutes and I think would also explain why you can see it in the add-on but HA can’t. As to why, I’m not sure… Maybe share your YAML.
That’s an interesting thought. This is really my first dive into ESPHome besides a RATGDO so I have not played around with the configuration. Here is the YAML and logs as well.
