It would be cool to add a link(s) in documentation from the community of some various enclosures that have been 3dprinted (hopefully with style files) to house the boards with the various configurations.

could you please add unique_id support, ir it is not allowed by home assistant for mqtt_room ?

Thanks

hello

HA has improved BT support and in order to improve the range of BT within the house has developed the concept of BT proxies

I don't know if BT is available now, but do you think it could make sense to allow ESP32 to become BT proxies ?
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, I didn't double-check, trusted this link and purchased ESP8266 ESP-12F, not ESP32s. I think this link is incorrect.

Suggestion to add alternative android BLE transmitter option. HA Companion app allows you to transmit a beacon e.g.

A BLE Transmitter sensor allows your device to transmit a BLE iBeacon. This is useful in conjunction with projects like roomassistant and esp32-mqtt-room to allow room level tracking. The current transmitting ID (UUID-Major-Minor) is reported as an attribute that can be copied for use with these systems.

CAUTION
This sensor can impact battery life, particularly if used wih Transmit Power set to High. The iBeacon is transmitted every second (low latency to save battery, but sufficient for room presence).

Settings are available to change the UUID, Major and Minor masks. These can be used to change the overall identifier, as well as to allow groups, e.g. family phone devices can have particular Major value which can be whitelisted in apps like roomassistant. These settings are validated: UUID should be the standard format, Major and Minor need to be within 0 and 65535. There are also settings to change the Transmit power (between Ultra Low, Low, Medium and High) as well as as toggle to allow this sensor to be turned on when the Enable all sensors toggle is activated. This is set to false, to prevent this sensor draining battery unnecessarily.

A Transmit setting toggle will start or stop the BLE transmissions - this setting is also toggled via the notification command that can turn the services on and off.

I've only been using ESPresense for a day and the HA BLE Transmit for half a day but so far everything is working well.

I'm not familiar with pull requests or git stuff but happy to try and make an amendment to the https://github.com/ESPresense/ESPresense.github.io/blob/master/apps.md and do a pull request or happy to leave this as a suggestion.

The Innway Slim Rechargeable Tracking Card works right out of the box as it transmits iBeacon messages. Sorry if this is an unacceptable way to report this. Project forking and bitly accounts are way too complicated. Thanks for this terrific project.

I think I followed the HASS model of having too much info on leaf pages that are hard to get to. Anybody know how to help?

Hi, im using room-assistant on a raspberry pi, which sees and reportsd that my Amazfit GTR 2e watch is at home/room
but espresense shows as not_home.

what can be the problem?

(note: i did setup my phone, and that is shown in the given room just right with espresense, so the config is OK for the watch too.)

Hello,

Looking at the docs found here, it describes a few ways to see the serial logs:

...
The easiest way to find it is to connect the usb cable and monitor the serial port (115200 baud) while bringing a device close to the ESP32. To monitor the serial port you can use Ardiuno monitor function or via platform io pio run --target monitor. You should see output similar to the following:
...

I suggest adding info about the PlatformIO VScode plugin as another alternative, as it has a serial monitor as well.

It's currently hard to tell that the following sensors are also supported by ESPresense when you look at the documentation:

• Temperature (DHT11, DHT22)
• Ambient Light (BH1750, TSL2561)
• Weather Sensor (BME280)
• Weight Sensor (HX711)

Addition it to the documentation will increase the overall popularity of the firmware, since several people end up using two ESP32 to accomplish something that could have been done with just ESPresense.

I know this isn't the correct place but I couldn't find a good way to submit known working devices. When I selected "edit this page on github" it leads me to a page saying I need to fork the repository.

Cat-Tailer devices work without issue. They use the ibeacon protocol and instantly showed up in espresence as ibeacon devices. They also used fixed mac addresses, worked immediately out of the box, and come in a waterproof housing. I got two of these over a year ago and have had no issues with them.

Could you add support for mmWare Radar

e.g. https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2282.html

Also fits in my ESPresense enclosure (with EPS32 + PIR)

Hello.
Thank you for your great project.
I'd like to edit beacon.md as requested as i have 2 feedbacks to report :

• Amazfit Balance : it works, seen as "mifit:xxx" as soon as you enable "Visibility" into Zepp -> Profile -> watch
• Garmin Fenix 5X Plus : definitly doesnt works, seen as "garmin:xxxx" at boot for few seconds only, even if not connected to a phone.

So i tried to create a branch/PR with new beacon.md version, but it looks like only fork are allowed. I'll try this if i have time.

Regards.

Referencing #98 that should be posted here.

Hi,

The Samsung galaxy watch 5 pro works when used with home assistant and the home assistant companion app. For this to work you need to install the companion app for your wearable and enable the Bluetooth tracker sensor which creates an iBeacon.

My guess here is that this might work for other Android wearables depending on the app compatibility with the watch.

One thing I have noticed is the transmit rssi@1m seems to be slightly off and cannot be adjusted at this time.
