Voice preview edition as bluetooth proxy for room tracking

Hi,
would be awesome to use the Voice PE bluetooth capability to track bluetooth beacons (mobile phone or smartwatch) and allow for room tracking.

I have read that this is technically difficult, but still would really apreciate if that could be made possible, as this would open an interesting use case together with Bermuda BLE.

For example automations triggered by presence. Or a dashboard adapting to the room you are in.

I don’t think it will fit in the memory, you would need a different esp32.

IIRC they’re using the same esp32 that drives the s3-box-3. While I was using my S3-box-3 before I got my HAVPE I had it configured to do the bluetooth proxy and it worked just fine. I only switched away from it because the speaker on the HAVPE is actually audible, and I don’t really care if I have a screen on my voice assistant. It just needs to be enabled. Unfortunately, for some reason my HAVPE device stopped showing up as something I could adopt in my ESP32Home app before I could adopt it and try to add the configuration myself :thinking:

Then if it will fit, just take control of it and load it. It’s espHome. Roll it…

It will probably slow it down crazy lots with the Bluetooth getting half the WIFI bandwidth, but you do you.

Please don’t do it to mine and put it in the core load.
