Hi community! :wave:

I’m excited to share my experience and detailed tutorial on integrating a “non-smart” Bluetooth ceiling lamp into HomeKit using Home Assistant. This journey was made possible thanks to the amazing work of @NicoIIT (origin post) and the ha-ble-adv integration (GitHub).

I’ve created two blog posts documenting this journey:

  1. Tutorial: Make Your Non-Smart Bluetooth Light Work with HomeKit

    • Step-by-step guide on integrating Bluetooth lamps into HomeKit
    • Detailed instructions for macOS users
    • Solutions to common challenges with Docker and Bluetooth connectivity

  2. Journal: Integrate Bluetooth Lamp into HomeKit

    • My personal journey and challenges faced
    • How I overcame Docker and Bluetooth adapter issues
    • Final implementation with ESP32 as a Bluetooth proxy

Feel free to check out the posts and let me know if you have any questions or need clarification on any part of the implementation!
