Introducing the Bluetooth Proxy Stick

This is a Bluetooth Proxy that requires no external USB cable as it has the USB connector integrated within it.

The Bluetooth Proxy Stick plugs straight into a USB port for a cable free look and is designed to be as small as possible so it’s discreet in your home. It comes in several designs – straight, right angled up and right angled down (which are ideal for use on wall power sockets with integrated USB-A ports).

Modern homes have USB ports everywhere - on wall sockets, TVs, game consoles, routers, and extension leads.

This Bluetooth proxy plugs straight in for a clean, cable‑free look, perfect for keeping things neat.

Why do I need a Bluetooth Proxy?

  • A Bluetooth Proxy connects to your Home Assistant server via Wi-Fi allowing you to position it nearer to your Bluetooth devices
  • Some hardware like the Home Assistant Green do not have Bluetooth built in, so a proxy can provide it that functionality
  • Once you have Bluetooth enabled in Home Assistant you can integrate Bluetooth devices into Home Assistant, such as Switchbot devices that communicate over Bluetooth
  • Many devices you can purchase offer their initial setup via Bluetooth BLE even if they don’t communicate using it afterwards. BLE enables very easy setup of devices on Home Assistant.
  • Extend the range of Bluetooth in your house with multiple proxies
  • With multiple Bluetooth Proxies positioned around your house you can use the Bermuda or ESPresence integrations in Home Assistant to track Bluetooth devices that move around your home
