This application turns the Flipper Zero into a [BTHome](https://bthome.io)
|
|
beacon, and can be used to integrate the Flipper with home automation systems
|
|
that support BTHome, such as Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
[BTHome](https://bthome.io) is an open standard for broadcasting sensor data
|
|
over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It allows devices to transmit sensor readings
|
|
(temperature, humidity, battery level, button events, etc.) without requiring
|
|
pairing or an active connection.
|
|
|
|
The BTHome beacon is triggered when pressing the Flipper Zero "OK" button
|
|
and currently includes the Flipper's battery percentage as a sensor.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, due to the limited size of BLE packets the Flipper Zero can send
|
|
there isn't much room left to add more sensors without removing the existing
|
|
one.

|
### Home Assistant setup
|
|
|
|
The first step is setting up the [BTHome](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bthome/) integration in Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Once setup, the Flipper should be automatically discovered after pressing the
|
|
center button once:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The device's page will then show the current battery status and its events:
