For a cheap case to contain a generic ESP32 board, I use a cheap travel soap box from "Wally World". I cut a slot in one end for the power cable. Costs about $0.97 each.
That's actually a pretty great idea for a device that will be out of sight. I may just adopt that, if you don't mind. :)
Thanks for watching!
Be mindful where you place them in rooms as bluetooth signals go through walls. Keep distance low enough to see when seated on sofa or chairs in lounge etc.
" Home Automation By Jeff " would be a name I would put forward 😊
Thank you for the suggestion! That does have a nice ring to it, I'll add it to the list of possibilities. Thanks for watching! :)
@@fasthowto anytime 😊 like the size of your videos
@@MartinHiggs84thank you! 😊
Been a minute! How about - Automation - How To. More specific but keeps a link to your old channel name.
Got a couple of these M5s. Will go try this. I'm told the BT person presense sensor approach is very finicky.
Thank you for the suggestion! I've added that to the potential list. :)
Yeah, I've read the person detection can be finicky as well. I suspect it's much like everything else, where the devil is in the details (config). I've already found some configuration specifics that I needed to set for my August locks with just the regular BT that I covered in this video. I'll get into those in the next one.
If and when I do the BLE presence detection, I'll do the same thing I always do - fight with it until I'm happy with it, and then make a video, or scrap the whole thing and never speak of it again. LOL
Other than ESPresense monitoring our cell phones to determine room location, I've never found a Bluetooth device to connect to HA. What BT devices do you have?
I showed the devices and discussed them in the video (August/Yale locks). As mentioned, my next video will be about adding them to HA.
Thanks for watching!
I use a Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer to monitor the temperature of my chest freezer in the garage. I have automation set to alert me if the temperature exceeds a set threshold.
Thanks for the video. Just ordered 2 devices to play with. I run HAOS as a VM in Proxmox on a mini PC. Bluetooth breaks every time HAOS or Proxmox release a new kernel version since they're not in sync. I'm hoping your solution will resolve this issue for good.
Yep, that's a GREAT use case for these little things! Be sure to report back once you get them and set them up, I'm always interested to hear real-world feedback.
Thanks for watching!!
Things did not work for me as shown in your video. I plugged the Atom Lite to my PC via USB and was able to flash it and configure the wireless network successfully, however, it never showed up in the ESPHome dashboard. I was able to add the Atom Lite manually as an ESPHome integration by using it's IP address. Once added, it immediately connected to my Govee temperature sensor and have been rock solid since.
I suspect this is because the way my Home Assistant and network is configured. Here is my setup in case you're interested:
I run the Home Assistant OS as a VM in a Proxmox Virtual Environment. Proxmox is the host OS on a dedicated mini PC.
I use TP-Link Omada gear and my network is segregated using VLANs for added security and ease of management. I have dedicated VLANs and wireless networks for my network devices (router, switches, access points), PCs, wireless clients and wireless IoT devices.
Sounds to me like things worked exactly as they were supposed to. If you are knowledgeable enough to configure a complicated network, you're probably knowledgeable enough to understand broadcast domains and mDNS and why you have to manually add devices... ;)
Glad to hear you figured it out and that they are working for you though!!
If I have a Tuya BLE smart lock that would this work as a BLE gateway to have it connect to HA and control the lock that way?
If there's an integration for it, I would imagine so. Try it out and let me know! I'm always looking to earn about new stuff. Which lock do you have?
@@fasthowto Well I have a Adaproxy that came with my fingerbot which worked to connect to the BLE Tuya lock, and it showed up within HA but it has no controles in it; so I’m thinking it’s not compatible with HA. But I was thinking of making my own gateway as mentioned in the video would make it compatible with HA. 🤔
