Hi, thanks for the work and efforts behind this component. I am intending to test it on Lenovo SmartThink View device which I just got flashed with Android 11. Are there any prerequisites for this custom component? I can see the F-Droid app that needs to be installed, I have already added HACS custom Component but there are no configurations showing up. Appreciate your advice, thanks again...

I suggest you to start over (delete current config and create one). You need to copy webhook link provided by the integration when you configure the integration. Also make sure that the host part of the URL is accessible via internet.

Then paste the URL in the App configuration and everything should work... If everything is configured correctly, Last Update sensor will be set to the last connection timestamp

The project in very early stage and lots of things are missing, but it works quite reliably

Hi, just to clarify suggest you to start over (delete current config and create one) Do you mean to remove the Custom HACS repository from HA?

You need to copy webhook link provided by the integration when you configure the integration Where is the webhook? A link provided by HACS?

This is not needed. Simply remove existing integration entry and add it again: Screenshot from 2024-02-21 08-49-42

The link provided by the integration, not HACS. Screenshot from 2024-02-21 08-50-05

Thanks, done. However, I don't see any notifications in HA about Bluetooth devices! I have an android device with the App from F-Droid installed and configured with the webhook, I have a phone connected to the Bluetooth of the android device but noting is showing up in HA notifications! I see in App (Android device) a notification saying it has discovered 15 devices. Why I don't see anything in HA? Do I need to install HA Companion app in the Android device?

Me too. Only got the sensor data of "Update time".

@kvj could you please refer to this issue? I'm having it too, I see in logs that there are some devices scanned by android device, but none of them show up in home assistant ui

This is very useful. Please add the final 20% so it becomes way more useful to less technical people. Thanks again for such a wonderful piece of software.
