So,
I bought an ESPHome based Bluetooth proxy off of e-bay a while back (Pardon Our Interruption...) and it’s dying/dead.
Is there somewhere I can buy a prepackaged version so I can talk to my 4 now useless temp senders?
Thank you
Wouldn’t it just be easier to learn how to do your self? You have an ESP32 inside a case possibly 3D printed and about 12 lines of config. I’m sure together on this forum we could help you do your own and possibly even recover the one you have bought.

There are a number of devices from Apollo Automation and Everything Smart that include the ability to act as a bluetooth proxy.
I know you asked for something “prepackaged”, but one small, simple option is to use is the M5 Atom Lite. They don’t have the best antenna, but they’re inexpensive enough to put a few around the house for full coverage. The device can be flashed with firmware directly from the Ready Made Projects page using a Chrome-based browser without any additional configuration.
Another device to consider is the Seeed Studio XIAO W5500 Ethernet Adapter which can also be flashed to work as a Bluetooth Proxy using just your web browser and the Ready Made Project site. These have been sold out for a while, but there was supposed to be a new version coming out sometime soon, so if you’re not in a hurry it might be worth waiting.
The Gl.inet GL-S10 is a great proxy, excellent range with the external antenna, available pre-flashed with ESPHome.

Thank you.
After reflashing the original device and having it disconnect again, I ordered a M5 Atom Lite.
cheers
You can actually use any esp32 board as bluetooth proxy. Just put few lines of code and there you have it.
No need to buy prepacked stuff, esp32 board for 3 US is more then enough.
And bonus you can put stuff on it like sensor, radars, you name it.
