Using NimBLE for >3 devices #5

Open rfvermut opened 2 years ago

rfvermut commented 2 years ago

Probably unrelated to actual code, but maybe understand the ESP32 code internals well enough to help.

I happen to have more than 3 radiators in my house easily reachable by single ESP32, so running 4 of them instead sounds strange for me.

Current ESP32 ble_client limitation is 3 devices due to bad performance and memory requirements. But there are several success stories using NimBLE implementation instead.

It's being called a drop-in replacement and some people already tried that for ESPHome so maybe you know how an average user can benefit from that.

P.S. Thank you your work on this project!

I would very much like to second this motion, though perhaps https://github.com/myhomeiot/esphome-components is another possible library ?

It looks like github://dmitry-cherkas/esphome-danfoss-eco@v1.1.3 works brilliantly monitoring 3 Thermostats :-)

Thank you very much !!!

Now, of course if 6 thermostats were possible :-D ...otherwise we'll just have to get some more D1s...

I also have more than 3 radiators. While I expect I will need more than 1 ESP32, I ended up deploying multiple ESP32s to get around the 3 device limit.
