Feedback

The article says to keep bluetoothctl open. I have no idea on how to do that, let alone what it is. Can a step by step method be provided on how to proceed?

Hey there @abmantis, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (idasen_desk) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands Code owners of `idasen_desk` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the feedback. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Renames the feedback. - `@home-assistant reopen` Reopen the feedback. - `@home-assistant unassign idasen_desk` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the feedback, add the integration domain after the command.

The recommended way to connect the desk to Home Assistant is by using an ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy.

There are no step by step instructions for using bluetoothctl because that depends a lot on your installation method, and may not be possible to use at all in some cases. If you do not know what it is, then I really suggest that you just use ESPHome, which will be easier and work better overall.
