Reliable ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy Using W5500 Ethernet Connectivity

Project description

Overview As smart home environments grow more complex, reliable communication between devices becomes increasingly important. In particular, Bluetooth-based sensors often suffer from limited range and unstable connections when deployed across larger spaces. To address these challenges, ESPHome introduces the concept of a Bluetooth Proxy, which extends Bluetooth coverage by distributing ESP32-based nodes throughout the environment. Among various implementation methods, using Ethernet connectivity with WIZnet’s W5500—such as the Seeed Studio W5500 Ethernet Adapter V1.2—has emerged as a highly…
