If discovery disabled on_ble_advertise not working

[DunklerPhoenix]

Heho. I'm trying to get the ble_gateway to work, but if discovery is disabled (which is default) the on_ble_advertise doesn't trigger.

How to enable discovery by default? Without it the examples in you documentation do nothing.

esphome:
  name: esphome-kueche-ble-gateway:

external_components:
  - source: github://myhomeiot/esphome-components

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: arduino

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:

ota:
  password: ""

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi24_username
  password: !secret wifi24_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Esphome-Kueche-Ble-Gateway"
    password: ""

captive_portal:

esp32_ble_tracker:

# ESPHome
ble_gateway:
  id: blegateway
  on_ble_advertise:
    then:
      homeassistant.event:
        event: esphome.on_ble_advertise
        data:
          packet: !lambda return packet;
          gateway_id: ${device_id}

binary_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: ble_gateway_discovery
    entity_id: binary_sensor.ble_gateway
    attribute: discovery
    on_state:
      then:
        lambda: id(blegateway).set_discovery(x);

text_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: ble_gateway_devices
    entity_id: binary_sensor.ble_gateway
    attribute: devices
    on_value:
      then:
        lambda: id(blegateway).set_devices(x);

switch:
  - platform: template
    id: switch_ble_gateway_discovery
    name: BLE Gateway Discovery
    icon: mdi:bluetooth-connect
    lambda: return id(blegateway).get_discovery();
    turn_on_action: [lambda: id(blegateway).set_discovery(true);]
    turn_off_action: [lambda: id(blegateway).set_discovery(false);]
    disabled_by_default: true

For e.g. this one does nothing:

esphome:
  name: esphome-kueche-ble-gateway

external_components:
  - source: github://myhomeiot/esphome-components

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: arduino

# Enable logging
logger:

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:

ota:
  password: ""

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi24_username
  password: !secret wifi24_password

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "Esphome-Kueche-Ble-Gateway"
    password: ""

captive_portal:

esp32_ble_tracker:

# ESPHome
ble_gateway:
  id: blegateway
  on_ble_advertise:
    then:
      homeassistant.event:
        event: esphome.on_ble_advertise
        data:
          packet: !lambda return packet;
          gateway_id: ${device_id}

Hello,

Discovery it's a configuration parameter and can be enabled as any other parameters in ESPHome (discovery: true):

ble_gateway:
  id: blegateway
  discovery: true
  on_ble_advertise:
    then:
      homeassistant.event:
        event: esphome.on_ble_advertise
        data:
          packet: !lambda return packet;
          gateway_id: ${device_id}

Without discovery you should specify devices MAC addresses like in this example or use advanced configuration with one of the described methods for initial device detection by Passive BLE Monitor (check important note section of advanced configuration).

Ahhhh. Thank you. Didn't understand it correctly :P
