Is there a way to see which esp is proxying my BLE device?
Yes. The integration tags the reading with the proxy that provided it in the āsourceā attribute of the estimated distance sensor.
I cant see this. I have 6 BLE devices eacht qith 4 entities mlbut canāt see any of what you describe. Where can that be found?
Edit: I do not see any, not know what you mean with āestimated distance sensorā.
Whatās needed for that in esphome?
That seems to be a custom component?
My question is about the āstandardā.
My quedtion is about the esphome bluetooth proxy. Not the apple ibeacon integration (which obviously sends out more data than my BLE devices).
Negative GhostRiderā¦
Thatās using the new default esphome bluetooth proxy component. Bluetooth Proxy ā 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.
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?
these:
Bluetooth config panel
The Bluetooth integration now has its own configuration panel!
The panel is accessible by going to Settings > Device & services. Find and select the Bluetooth integration, and next select Configure.
This new panel gives you access to the Bluetooth integration options and insights into the connection slot allocations. More importantly, it has an advertisement monitor!
Selecting Advertisement monitor will open a new panel, where you can see information about your Bluetooth devices, including the raw advertisement data and how they are connected to your Home Assistant instance. This includes which Bluetooth proxy it connects through!
