BLE Component
=============
.. seo::
:description: Instructions for setting up Bluetooth LE in ESPHome.
:image: bluetooth.svg
The ``esp32_ble`` component in ESPHome sets up the Bluetooth LE stack on the device so that a :doc:`esp32_ble_server`
can run.
.. warning::
The BLE software stack on the ESP32 consumes a significant amount of RAM on the device.
**Crashes are likely to occur** if you include too many additional components in your device's
configuration. Memory-intensive components such as :doc:`/components/voice_assistant` and other
audio components are most likely to cause issues.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration
esp32_ble:
io_capability: keyboard_only
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **io_capability** (*Optional*, enum): The IO capability of this ESP32, used for securely connecting to other BLE devices. Defaults to ``none``.
- ``none`` - No IO capability (Connections that require PIN code authentication will fail)
- ``keyboard_only`` - Only a keyboard to enter PIN codes (or a fixed PIN code)
- ``display_only`` - Only a display to show PIN codes
- ``keyboard_display`` - A keyboard and a display
- ``display_yes_no`` - A display to show PIN codes and buttons to confirm or deny the connection
- **enable_on_boot** (*Optional*, boolean): If enabled, the BLE interface will be enabled on boot. Defaults to ``true``.
``ble.disable`` Action
-----------------------
This action turns off the BLE interface on demand.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- ble.disable:
.. note::
The configuration option ``enable_on_boot`` can be set to ``false`` if you do not want BLE to be enabled on boot.
``ble.enable`` Action
----------------------
This action turns on the BLE interface on demand.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
then:
- ble.enable:
.. note::
The configuration option ``enable_on_boot`` can be set to ``false`` if you do not want BLE to be enabled on boot.
.. _ble-enabled_condition:
``ble.enabled`` Condition
--------------------------
This :ref:`Condition <config-condition>` checks if BLE is currently enabled or not.
.. code-block:: yaml
on_...:
- if:
condition: ble.enabled
then:
- ble.disable:
else:
- ble.enable:
The lambda equivalent for this is ``id(ble_id).is_active()``.
