What version of ESPHome have you flashed the GL-S10 with? Which yaml file are you using?
I dont have GL-S10. I use BT Proxy of ESP32. At the time, I had most recent one as of dec 9. Firmware: 2023.10.6 (Nov 14 2023, 05:22:16) Each ESP BT Proxy can only take 3 connections I now place 1BT proxy next to the LD2410B hoping that will reduce the "No backend with an available connection slot" error. This and many fixes in HA had reduced the error message. I had also replaced a few of the ESP32 board as they seem to be dead so quickly.
My current setup still have issues. During the day, for the BT proxy lost the internet for whatever reasons, likely wifi connection problem and the LD2410B goes to 'unavailable'.
Sometimes reloading the LD2410B works which i do automatically after it goes unavailable for 20 seconds via HA. Often, reloading LD2410B wont work and I think this is likely HA issue. The only fix after that is to restart HA.
I love the idea of BT Proxy but 3 connections limit and network reliability could easily put LD2410B in to unavailable state. Since my setup is not reliable, when I get time, I plan to go away from BTproxy and go to Wifi.
I have been trying to figure out what was going on with my LD2410 sensors which kept getting to 'Unavailable' state. I use ESPHome BT proxy with it. After narrowing it down, it seems that I kept seeing the BT Proxy having errors.
I have 3 LD2410 sensors and 4 BT Proxies. It seems to me that is plenty capacity for the proxies to handle 3 sensors. My other wifi based ESP devices have no issues with any connections.
Since there is not much is exposed in BTProxy for HA, I can't really monitor BT Proxy. There is no uptime, other diagnostic info I can watch in HD. Looking at HA logs I see something like below.Hopefully someone can shed some lights why the BT Proxy goes 'Unavailable' and how to fix it.
Thanks.
