# Add-on: Bluetooth Proxy
## Description
This add-on allows your panel's relays to function as a Bluetooth proxy (BLE only) by utilizing the internal Bluetooth radio
along with the [ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy component](https://esphome.io/components/bluetooth_proxy.html).
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Ensure you configure the Bluetooth Proxy using this add-on as it will enable better memory management by releasing the Bluetooth stack before a TFT update.
## Installation
To install, add the reference to `nspanel_esphome_addon_bluetooth_proxy` in your ESPHome settings under the `packages` section
following the `remote_package` entry, as illustrated below:
> [!WARNING]
> While the `esp-idf` framework is the default and recommended for the [ESP32 Platform](#framework-esp-idf) when Bluetooth features are enabled,
> ensure it is not switched to the `arduino` framework. The `arduino` framework significantly increases memory usage, which may prevent installation on your panel.

### Bluetooth proxy
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD028 -->
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Problem Overview:**
> Enabling Bluetooth consumes a significant amount of your device's memory (RAM), leading to potential issues:
> - **Device Crashes:** Adding extra features on top of Bluetooth may overload the memory capacity, causing crashes.
> - **Unstable HTTPS Connections:** There may be difficulties establishing or maintaining secure internet connections.
> - **Failed TFT Screen Updates:** Insufficient RAM can cause screen update processes (TFT flashing) to fail.
>
> **Solution:**
> **Freeing Up Memory:**
> To prevent these problems, remove the Bluetooth components to free up memory:
> 1. **Flash the Device:** Apply a fresh installation of the software without the Bluetooth features to increase available RAM.
> 2. **During TFT Update:** Perform this step specifically when updating the TFT screen to ensure enough RAM is available for the process.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Framework Recommendation:**
> Utilize the [ESP32 Platform](#framework-esp-idf) with the `esp-idf` framework for optimal performance, especially when the Bluetooth feature is enabled.
> The `arduino` framework is not recommended as it significantly increases memory usage and reduces system stability with Bluetooth.
> [!WARNING]
> **Correct Component IDs:**
> It's crucial to use specific IDs for Bluetooth components (`ble_proxy` and `ble_tracker`). These IDs allow the system to properly manage Bluetooth services,
> stopping them temporarily during the TFT update to free up RAM, thus enhancing the update's success rate.
>
> Even if using only the `bluetooth_proxy`, you must define `esp32_ble_tracker` with the specified ID as shown below.
> This setup is necessary for system compatibility and does not affect the firmware size but ensures proper functionality.
```yaml
# Configuration for Bluetooth Proxy
bluetooth_proxy:
id: ble_proxy
# Configuration for the BLE Tracker (required as part of the Bluetooth Proxy)
esp32_ble_tracker:

# Wi-Fi settings adjusted for Bluetooth compatibility on ESP32

power_save_mode: LIGHT # Required for Bluetooth
```
### Bluetooth Proxy
Please refer to the "[Add-on: Bluetooth Proxy](addon_bluetooth_proxy.md)" guide.
### BLE Tracker
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD028 -->
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Problem Overview:**
> Enabling the BLE Tracker consumes a significant amount of your device's memory (RAM), which can lead to potential issues:
> - **Device Crashes:** Running additional features along with the BLE Tracker may exceed the memory limits, causing the device to crash.
> - **Unstable HTTPS Connections:** Secure internet connections might become unreliable.
> - **Failed TFT Screen Updates:** A lack of sufficient RAM can disrupt the screen updating process (TFT flashing).
>
> **Solution:**
> **Freeing Up Memory:**
> To mitigate these issues, simplify the device's configuration to increase available memory:
> 1. **Flash the Device:** Reinstall the software with minimal features to maximize available RAM.
> 2. **During TFT Update:** Specifically clear memory-consuming processes when updating the TFT screen to prevent update failures.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Framework Recommendation:**
> For best performance, especially when using BLE features, it's advised to employ the [ESP32 Platform](#framework-esp-idf) with the `esp-idf` framework.
> The `arduino` framework is less efficient as it consumes more memory and can compromise the stability of BLE functionalities.
> [!WARNING]
> **Component ID Usage:**
> The `esp32_ble_tracker` must be configured with the specific ID `ble_tracker` to correctly manage BLE operations.
> This ID setup is critical for system performance and stability during intensive operations like TFT updates.
>
> Defining the `esp32_ble_tracker` with `ble_tracker` as the ID does not increase the firmware's size but is vital for operational success and system compatibility.

# Configuration for the BLE Tracker
