Can't deploy Key using Bluetooth Proxy

[twanjaarsveld]

is it possible to use a bluetooth proxy ?

[iainbullock]

No. The Tesla library requires direct hardware control of the Bluetooth device

[twanjaarsveld]

Okay thanks, is there any other way to extend the bluetooth range as my HA server is on the other side of my house

[iainbullock]

I recommend you install the docker version of the project on a remote device. I use a Raspberry Pi 3b+ in this way, no problems.

That's smart!
And will this work in combination with the Home Assistant Tesla Fleet integration?

[iainbullock]

Yes. So example you can send commands using Bluetooth and read status using Tesla Fleet API. I'd like to add the ability to read status via Bluetooth but that's a future enhancement

[twanjaarsveld]

Awesome, i used a old thinclient with Home Assistant and installed the HA addon and then used my MQTT server on my main HA install
works perfectly, except the status update like you said but i could combine the entities from the cloud api and this local one
Thanks a lot !

The "Tesla Fleet API" isn't as simple to use as it was last year, since 2024.1 its become way more difcult to get it to work

[iainbullock]

The latest version of this project v0.3.0 can now read status

[twanjaarsveld]

Awesome I'll have a look at it

[twanjaarsveld]

All my sensor entities are "unknown"

[iainbullock]

Press the 'Force Data Update' button. Currently there is no polling, you have to press it manually or get an automation to do it

[iainbullock]

Please put any new issue in a new Issue so others can read it! Thanks

[twanjaarsveld]

Thanks this fixed the issue for most entities
(all the ones i care about)

[iainbullock]

Please could you repeat your last comment here so others can benefit from the new Issue, thanks
