Someone pointed out that Shelly devices an act as Bluetooth proxies. I have a bunch of Gen 3 Mini PMs so went about turning on Bluetooth and configuring one of them for active scanning. However nothing gets picked up. I can see a script has been loaded on the device and I can see lots of BLE scan messages in the diagnostics.
All the docs only talk about gen 2 devices and I haven’t really seen anything definitive as to whether gen 3 devices work or not.
I know the gen 2 (and therefore presumably gen3) devices won’t create active connections but I am just wondering whether I can pick up an Inkbird BBQ temperature device (IBT-4XS) which I thought worked through passive advertisements. I know it will worked when I had an ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy.
If it won’t work is that because it is gen 3 or because it only picks up advertisements? (I can’t quite get my head around BLE)
