FanTAStic Video. Thank you!

Hi, after i have linked it to my Home assistant on my computer, can i take the ESP32 device and plug into a power source instead of my computer? I managed to make it work with my home assistant however, when i unplug it and place it somewhere else, it says "This entity is no longer being provided by the esphome integration. If the entity is no longer in use, delete it in settings.". Any advice please?

After searching for some time, finally this did the trick! and it worked for me. Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful, clear and easy to follow, Excellent work! you have a new subscriber, keep up the good work

Thank you so much for this!

I was having trouble with installing Balena Etcher using this guide and the current version of Ubuntu (24 as of writing). Switching to version 22 of Ubuntu solved my issue.

תודה רבה אחלה סרטון אח שלי היקר!

Extremely helpful, thank you so much!!

thanks for the video, I had the docker container and didnt want to go through the hassle of starting over and installing HAOS.

buiten veel reclame filmpjes op youtube heeft dit mij niet verder gebracht. de command line's kan je niet copieren. en ze werken niet.

Thank you.

doesnt work

Thank for help. i just solve my problem

Is it still this easy to set up?

I did everything like in the video but Home Assistant isn't copied to the ssd of my Intel Nuc. It only works if I let the USB Stick with the HA Image on it in the Intel Nuc. What did I wrong?

Thanks so much on a clear, concise and easy to follow guide. I've been running HA for well over a year in a container on my NAS,, but I've been slow to get to grips with how containers work. If you're reading this and you have a QNAP or Synology NAS, using their Container program, I highly suggest installing Portainer to do any actual backend stuff (it's also better for duplicating containers to create backups), the Container app and Portainer will run side by side. I found QNAP's Container Station wouldn't run the install command, threw up bad download link error, but Portainer worked as shown in the video a treat. Needed HACS as I'm considering Meross plugs which aren't officially integrated.

HI great video thanks. the flash to the diskonkey is taking hours ? How can i debug to figure out the issue? I tried with a 2tb disk it gave a warning that the dik is very large.. i allowed it.. but after 2 hrs i crashed the balenaetcher ..then a 16GB also same issue.. Another question Must i flash the usb only on the target computer? Regards

I already did this method some time ago and used the sensor in Home Assistant, but it stopped being recognized there, I tried to reset it, but the Bluetooth icon does not appear and I cannot pair it, can you help me?

Help when i try and add esphome i get this error Can't connect to ESP. Please make sure your YAML file contains an 'api:' line.

Why bluetooth proxy is better than dongle which turned on directly to HASS server (Raspberry Pi)?

Does this method work in HA Core?

good job. can esp32+ld2410 be used outside? do you have example of it?

I want combine witu esp32 cam its okay? Can i use that?

That looks great, I have an air conditioner controller that I made with an esp32 is it possible to add the ld2410b or c with the same board? Can you make an example

Thanks, it worked for me! After much fumbling around.

hi, would you be so keen to provide a link to the small display/pixel showing the rain animation seen in your left (right on video) back? Thank you

Any chance that you can help ? if you have time and maybe know what I did wrong ? :) Because I am getting errors ! :D 10:50:45 PM: Hardware Revision String: B1.5 10:50:45 PM: Software Revision String: 0130 10:50:45 PM: Firmware Revision String: 1.0.0_0130 10:50:45 PM: Detected Mi device 10:50:45 PM: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'substr') 10:50:45 PM: Something went wrong, too many reconnects

Finally got around to doing this - I purchased a bunch of Xiaomi sensors and didn't realise my little intel NUC had such terrible bluetooth range! Two months later I have my temperature and humidity stats again 😆

thanks!!!!

How do you do that? Do you have tutorial video?

Champion! Worked perfectly and easily.

For those finding this after May 2024 and having issues: Use exactly Ubuntu 22.04 as he states in the video. If you need to download it, you can also download it by using a Torrent Client (also stated on the website) which is way faster. To compare, latest version took me 5 minutes for 6 gig, the 22.04 took me 4 hours estimated for 5 gig. Using the bittorent client it took roughly 10 minutes. If you downloaded ubuntu 24.04 like me thinkin "later is better, right?" balena etcher will not work. You'll get errors in the range of "gconfig & gconfig2 not supported" or whatever it was. Trying to fix it is a whole rabbit hole, especially if you never used Ubuntu. Also a minor thing, after Home assistant is installed and you have that ASCII like thing. You have to go to another computer and do the ip adress thing over there. Apart from this issue which at the time of makin the video obviously wasn't a problem. Great video. Worked like a charm :).

My CLI do not start..😢

Hello! Thanks for the educational video. A question for you, dear author. Is it possible to configure the motion sensor in EspHome (ESP32, ESP32-C3) so that data is transmitted to the HomeAssistante server not via WiFi but via Bluetooth. Those. do everything the same as in your lesson, but the channel for transmitting readings is Bluetooth Such a sensor could operate on batteries for a long time.

I'm trying to figure out if I can use a Meshtastic node with the Bluetooth nodes so my Android phone can reach the node farther from my HA hub location. So far no luck

Nice work and waiting for the PIR combined version :)

Having a problem with the instructions for installing Balenca Etcher. Running "sudo add-apt-repository universe -y" results in errors that state Skipping acquire of configured file 'universe/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'cdrom://Ubuntu 24.04 LTS _Noble Numbat_ - Release amd64 (20240424) noble InRelease' doesn't have the component 'universe' (component misspelt in sources.list?) I am new to Ubuntu and have not been able to find a solution on the net. Any thoughts?

I am unable to connect to the given URL. Is there anyway? 192.168.31.205:8123

Since yesterday, my devices are no longer working with this integration, even though they had been working fine for months. Do you know what might be the issue?

Can this method replace a Tuya Bluetooth Gateway?

Can you please check the thermostat with this device?

Great guide, quick and easy to follow!

Will it work with this modell: ESP32 WROOM-32 Development Board TYPE-C CH340C ESP32 Devkit_C

Great video - for some reason I just can't get the esp32 to connect to wifi. I tried different 2.4Ghz networks and moved the devices to different locations for better signal. No luck! At this point I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue.. please help!!

hi I installed bluetooth proxy. my question is. How do I integrate bluetooth devices such as temperature sensors and bluetooth bulbs from tuya without gatwey tuya? A thousand thanks

This worked for me using the first method.

so i ended up selecting the bluetooth peripheral device option and then continued the process up until it started "installing" but it just stayed there for like 30 minutes. the only other options i had were a bluetooth headset and a serial port but no USB port option. any advice? i even downloaded drivers for windows and then discovered that not all micro usb cables can transfer data but i refuse to believe that the 1000 give or take cables i have are for power only because i tried them all and none worked. even one that i know was used to transmit temp and humidity sensor date to my LinknLink ehub didn't work.

so i just got the ESP32 board and i've connected it via micro usb to my laptop and went through the process of installing it, but installation seems to be stuck. how long should it be "installing" and "preparing installation" for? its been like 20 minutes.

thanks for the video and info! i have two questions: 1) is this process only to extend bluetooth range for HA? or can i do this process to simply add bluetooth capability to HA? 2) does the ESP32 generic board have to be connected to my laptop always in order for HA to detect my switchbot blind tilt bluetooth devices? P.S. i have home assistant green
