Bluetooth Beacon Implementation

Steps

This is really an easy implementation and you can get all the details directly from the ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy page Link

In this example I will be using a generic ESP32. I did purchase 2 types of ESP32.

Teyleten Robot D1 Mini ESP32 ESP-WROOM-32 WLAN WiFi+Bluetooth Internet of Things IoT Development Board for Arduino NodeMCU

Teyleten Robot ESP32S ESP32 ESP-WROOM-32 Development Board 2.4GHz Dual-Core WiFi +Bluetooth 2 Function Microcontroller for Arduino

Steps

Turn any ESP32 into a Bluetooth proxy for Home Assistant. This option only works for "plain" ESP32 and not for ESP32-C3 or other variants.

Using the ESP32

STEP1: Choosing your hardware.

In this example I will use the ESP32 D1 Mini.

STEP2: Understanding the different conections and type of connections

Go to the ESPHome page and get to the BTProxy (here is the link)
