BLE Generic Device

Custom Home Assistant integration to control a BLE device locally or via proxies.

What works

• Adding devices via MAC and service UUID
• Adding/Removing switches via characteristic UUID
• Setting connection timeout (connection stays open for set amount after a switch was toggled)
• Switches become unavailable when no advertisement for 6 minutes (can't be less due to HA caching)
• Switches become unavailable when device not reachable
• Switches become available with first advertisement BUT sometimes they won't -> Reload integration

Installation

Add this repository as a custom integration:

1. In HACS, go to Integrations → Custom repositories

2. Paste this URL: https://github.com/chedda61/ble_generic_device Category: Integration

3. Click Add, then search for "BLE Generic Device" and install.
