can't connect through a bluetooth proxy

[stefdewilde]

Hey @chrisrosset

I want to install this docker, but I can't seem to connect my mamaroo through the bluetooth of my HA.

I use a ESP32 as a bluetooth proxy. It does recognize it:

But I get these in my docker log:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Anyway to fix this?

Hey! I've never used a Bluetooth proxy before. As far as I can tell from the docs I found on ESPHome, Home Assistant can use a proxy over WiFi instead of using a USB adapter.

This project is not a Home Assistant integration though so it doesn't know anything about your proxy. It connects directly to a Bluetooth adapter and posts data over MQTT to your HA instance.

Realistically, the code would have to be rewritten to be an actual HA integration to support this.
