What esp is proxying my BLE device (bluetooth proxy)

ESPHome
1

Is there a way to see which esp is proxying my BLE device?

2

Yes. The integration tags the reading with the proxy that provided it in the ‘source’ attribute of the estimated distance sensor.

I cant see this. I have 6 BLE devices eacht qith 4 entities mlbut can’t see any of what you describe. Where can that be found?

Edit: I do not see any, not know what you mean with “estimated distance sensor”.

What’s needed for that in esphome?

That seems to be a custom component?

My question is about the “standard”.

My quedtion is about the esphome bluetooth proxy. Not the apple ibeacon integration (which obviously sends out more data than my BLE devices).

Negative GhostRider…

That’s using the new default esphome bluetooth proxy component. Bluetooth Proxy — ESPHome

And the iBeacon tracker integraiton from Core: iBeacon Tracker - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io). I just connected the Proxy to HA, added the iBeacon integration according to the docs and trackers started showing up… Done.

Might be that your iphones use it, but my BLE devices are not iphones. not apple at all.

8

no iPhone. Those are dedicated bluetooth iBeacons.
See known working devices in the docs: iBeacon Tracker - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

Might be, but mine are not in the list:

and that list is very short for "BLE enabled devices.

Back on topic. How can I see the ESP which discovered my BLE devices via ESPhome?
