Hello. Im having issues getting my Bluetooth proxy to work.
I have set it up with ESPHome Device Builder and it worked fine but i could not see it as a bluetooth device so i added:

bluetooth_proxy:
  active: true

to the end of the yaml thing and clicked install.
Now its stuck in a boot loop of some sort instead. the following is the Error it gives me.

[14:32:26]assert failed: s_prepare_reserved_regions memory_layout_utils.c:104 (reserved[i + 1].start > reserved[i].start)

Tell me if you need logs or anything else.
Thanks in advance

use triple backticks instead of quotes to format correctly

grave vortex Aug 18, 2025, 1:08 PM

Now its formated

including your entire ESPHome config would probably be useful.

however if your only using the esp only as a bluetooth proxy you may be better off using the BT proxy readymade project which can be installed from HERE then you dont need the builder tool

if its a more complicated ESPHome project then asking over on the ESPHome discord might also be more productive

Yea im only using it for the bluetooth atm. I followed a guide but i couldnt get it to work so i will try the readymade project.

delicate plume Aug 18, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

yeah the readymade project and then just connecting it to HA using the integration is the way to go and there will be no need to adopt/take-control of it in the builder tool. the builder tool is only really needed if you need to customise stuff.

#

Thanks. That works, I can now see my Bluetooth devices.
Do you happen to know the limit of connected devices is? if any

it depends on your exact use case: I think you can only have 3 "active" connections per proxy. if your devices are only passive connections then it can handle more (as long as they not all talking at the exact same time)

grave vortex Aug 18, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

okey.
Mostly temp/humidiy sensors so i dont think they are talking all the time.

delicate plume Aug 18, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

yeah they are likely passive that are unlikely to be talking at the same time. unless you have an ungodly amount of them then you are probably fine. worst case you loose the occasional update on one of them.

#

you can always add more proxies if you need to

#

a lot shelly devices include a BT proxy if you enable it. so its worth looking at them if you are going to add some extra smartplugs/relays etc...

Thanks. I have 6 of the sensors atm and a few plugs but hte plugs are wifi and not bluetooth

delicate plume Aug 18, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

yeah the shelly wifi plugs can act as proxies.

#

and i imagine 6 sensors on 1 proxy will be fine anyway

grave vortex Aug 18, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

I dont have any shelly stuff. I have some cheaper cleverio stuff. Think its only in sweden but i have managed to add everything and it seems to work
