Has anyone tried this? POE Bluetooth Proxy and ESPHome | SLZB-06 * Series Manual (smlight.tech)
I have an 06M that I’ve been using as a coordinator and it’s worked great.
Ordered an 06p7 for another site that is on the backburner so thought I’d put it out in my shop as a repeater for now but then stumbled across this article.
I have a BT proxy in the shop already but having a single device would be nice (maybe).
I went to try this and found the UI has an option for it:
This is the 06M which will be left alone as my coordinator but for my 06p7 I first selected Router and confirmed it showed up in Z2M. I then enabled the BT Proxy. Once that finishes you no longer have the web based UI (and thus why I couldn’t get a screenshot from there 
).
It did show up in ESPHome but it’s not letting me install.
The first error was due to the missing ota so I added that but now I am getting Errno 111 Connection Refused.
So still some playing around to do.
EDIT: got it. I built the bin and flashed it via smlights flashing tool but ultimately setting the static ip/hostname in my router was key
Bonjour, oui j’ai essayé et cela fonctionne très bien. Ce que j’ai fait, c’est paramétrer en LAN la fonctionnalité Zigbee, en le connectant en routeur à mon coordinateur, puis j’ai flashé le code Bluetooth. Ensuite, je suis allé sur Home Assistant, dans ESPHome, le SLZB-06 a été reconnu : il faut juste faire “adopter” pour que le firmware soit flashé.
J’ai personnalisé le code, puis reflashé, et tout fonctionne toujours.
Hello, yes I tried it and it works very well. What I did was configure the Zigbee functionality in LAN by connecting it as a router to my coordinator, then I flashed the Bluetooth code. Next, I went to Home Assistant, in ESPHome, the SLZB-06 was recognized: you just need to “adopt” it for the firmware to be flashed.
I customized the code, then reflashed it, and everything still works.
Hi Socrate
Do you mind sharing the code?
Klint
Did you try the code provided by smlight? That’s all I did back in July. I don’t recall customizing anything (well adding the ota I guess)
Edit. Here is mine. Couldn’t Select All on my phone so just grabbed a screenshot.
how did you add the bluethooth proxy, or add BT devices to home assistant
Adding it in esphome is adding the proxy and then if it finds any bt devices they will show up in Integrations. Sometimes under something like Govee for example but often under ibeacon.
Hi guys, I don’t know what i’m doing wrong and I also don’t know how to edit the esp firmware as Socrate said. I flashed it with smlight webbrowser. Then my home assistant saw it no problem. But I don’t see any modules getting detected…
Any tips to solve this? I would like to detect my Airthings devices with my bluetooth proxy.
Thanks
That’s the esphome config I put above.
Do you have the esphome add on installed and did you add this device to it?
Yes, i did continue to work on it and found out about the esphome add-on.
I installed it and I did see the smlight. I run the install and it failed. I then added the logger: and ota. The install was able to complete.
However, still no device detected… I will continue my troubleshoot one small step at the time.
