MAC filter for bluetooth_proxy #2686

Open g-kiss opened 2 months ago

g-kiss commented 2 months ago

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

It would be very useful if optionally I could specify the MAC addresses that bluetooth_proxy have to handle. That way, it would not send a lot of unnecessary data over the Wi-Fi network. Like this:

bluetooth_proxy:
  active: false
  mac_address:
    - 11:11:11:11:11:11
    - 22:22:22:22:22:22

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

Additional context

+1 from me. Wanted to ask for this myself In my case I have a few Apple devices. (Maybe Apple TVs) which push out an insane amount of data over BLE. I want that data ignored as I suspect that much data breaks WiFi on the ESP32

I'd like to extend @g-kiss request with the possibility to add a partial mac address to the whitelist e.g. A4:C1:38:*
