This compact Bluetooth (BLE) Proxy is designed for Home Assistant and plugs directly into a USB port - no cables required!

It’s a simple, tidy way to extend Bluetooth coverage around your home.

Modern homes have USB ports everywhere:

  • On wall sockets
  • TVs
  • Game consoles
  • Routers
  • Extension leads

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

The right angle versions are very discreet for wall sockets with USB-A ports, keeping the device against the wall instead of sticking outward.

We designed these to look good, be as small as possible and blend in with your home.

Why buy from us?

This proxy doesn't cut corners where it matters most as it offers:

  • Certified components from trusted suppliers are used to ensure the reliability needed for 24/7/365 operation.
  • Official ESP32-C6 module from SeeedStudio is used, we don't use clone boards which can fail.
  • Reliable Bluetooth with the C6 chip which has 2 processors that makes it ideal for Bluetooth Proxies using Wi-Fi. Other proxies don't say which chip they use and some are much better than others for Bluetooth reliability.
  • No Flashing needed it's ready to be used.
  • We use every product we sell in our homes too.
  • Bluetooth Proxy Sticks are only sold by us.

Why do I need a Bluetooth Proxy?

  • A Bluetooth Proxy connects to Home Assistant over Wi-Fi allowing you to place it nearer to your Bluetooth devices.
  • Ideal for hardware like Home Assistant Green that does not have Bluetooth built-in, a proxy provides it that functionality.
  • Enables integration with Bluetooth devices such as Switchbot that communicate over Bluetooth.
  • Many smart devices use BLE for their initial setup - a Bluetooth proxy makes detection fast and reliable.

Why use Multiple Proxies?

Extend Bluetooth coverage in your house by placing multiple proxies in key locations.  

2 or 3 proxies should cover a 2 story 4 bedroom UK new build house (built with brick/plaster board walls).  

A Bluetooth signal goes through walls and ceilings.

Place proxies in every room and use the Bermuda or ESPresence integrations in Home Assistant for room level presence detection of phones, watches, fitness trackers and iBeacons.
