Shellyblu Button1 #73

Open craigwitter opened 1 year ago

craigwitter commented 1 year ago

I would like to be able to locate the Shelly Blu Button1 through HomeAssistant. Right now I'm only able to detect button presses. This would be most useful through the BT Proxies that already exist throughout my home. I would like it to make the device beep, the same way that a tile app or the Shelly BLE Debug app does.

How should that work? Locating the button. Should it send its location? Or to which bt proxy it is connected?

making it beep requires an active connection, if it supports that. I guess that is something that we have to build in HA, and not in BTHome, as it is not an BTHome function/format, but a Shelly BLU function.

I'm not sure how well sending it's location will work. Ideally, making it beep would probably be most useful. I know you can locate it (make it beep) using the Shelly app. This would make it similar in function of a tile tracker too.

Thanks for your time.

On the HA forum, there is an explanation how to use the button as a device tracker. I understand that it is not what you are asking for (you want to find the button by making it beep), but it might be interesting for others.
