I keep getting messages that the YAML is not compiling. How can I debug this?
Thanks
By looking at the logs 
If you want some help we need your YAML and logs, none of us have working Crystal Balls…

Please format both the YAML and the logs correctly so that it’s readable:
That being said, from what I can see it looks like it’s running as it should. What are you expecting it to see via BT? Do the devices actually have a Home Assistant integration?
Where are you seeing this and what are the exact error messages?
Thank you for your time.
I copy/pasted from: homeasstant: settings → Devices & Services → ESPHome → Bluetooth Proxy Device → Visit → Logs → Wirelessly. The issue I have is that I can not update the firmware OTA, I have to plug in.
I will format both the YAML and the logs later and reply with that.
My apologies! I am pretty new to this.
Also; what log file can I open to see what the error is?
Post that message
