I flashed a couple of AtomS3 Lite (ESPS3 chip) devices and configured them with Bluetooth Proxy active and passive. They are working pretty good so far.

Would be nice if BT Proxy supports BT pairing (with PIN code). That would open up a whole bunch of other devices (eg. Eqiva 3 radiator thermostatic valve)..

I have 3 switchbots, one turns on my Keurig, one on the espresso machine, and one on my KVM in the basement for when i forget to switch off the basement input.
I use a HA automation to "set state" to OFF, 15 or 30 minutes after turning on to mimic the auto-off feature of the coffee machines.

After testing couple of flood light, I found that the only ones that work with the Bluetooth integration are the ones that work with the happy lighting app and show up as trioones, not other ones .
I bought couple that work with the duoCo strip app and they didn’t show in HA .

Keep in mind before buying, make sure the lights work with happy lighting only .

Great video. Thanks for keeping us in the know with new HA tech. Question on this esp device, what usb power source is recommended for it?

[curious-homebody]

that bluetooth floods are looking pretty slick!

Are there any cool thematic lighting programs to drive the shopLEDs? Like fading cycling colors, or something for Christmas... 😏

[Teleport]

Thanks. I have a few ESP32 around the house already doing things with esphome. Could I add this functionality to them in the yaml, but still also keep them doing what they're doing already? So multitasking.

[DmitriyKhazansky]

What’s the Wally’s addressable led light you mentioned around the 5min mark?

[curious-homebody]

High Troller thanks you for this video.

[calebjpryor]

I'm curious have you replaced all your blerry stuff with this now?

[thebatu]

Could i pair with any generic bluetooth lights with the proxy or does it require specific integration?
My local store mostly selling tuya bt lights

[richardbanyai]

There are still no Ceiling wafer light that are Bluetooth that will work. I thought I saw there was. Do you have any extra info on this Travis? Thanks

[ljnett]

Can you do a video on how to install the proxie on a bulb with tasmota3 on a esp32-c3

[salehb]

Hi thanks for the video, i have esp32 s3 box, i got it to use as a proxy, but i am not able to flash it with esphome, any pointers will be highly

Been looking for flood lights that work well with Home assistant. If you got any more info on flood, please share. thanks for the video.

You said you couldn't find a use for the switchbot bot? I use it to turn my humidifier on and change the levels based on the switchbot temp/humidity sensor. works will. Its a single button does all humidifier. 😁

[LIONTRIBEACTUAL]

I have Melpo downlights and outdoor floods…..is there anything I can do with these?

[FredSchmitthammer]

Do I need to flash tasmota on the Shelly to get Bluetooth proxy? If I use the Shelly as a Bluetooth proxy, do I lose the switch capability?

[johnlandgrave]

Have you found a way to use the Govee Bluetooth String lights with the BT Proxy?
