ESPHome BLE proxy on ESP32-C6 board

esphome_ble_esp32c6.yaml

# # This is an esphome configuration file.
# # It is tested on debian-12 and [nanoESP32-C6](https://github.com/wuxx/nanoESP32-C6/blob/master/README_en.md).
# # This configuration should work on any Linux distribution and any ESP32-C6 board though.
#
# # Create and activate python venv, install esphome:
# test -d ./venv || python3 -m venv venv
# source ./venv/bin/activate
# pip install esphome --upgrade
#
# # Connect ESP32-C6 to USB, press and hold "Boot" button, press and release "Reset", release "Boot".
# # Run `sudo dmesg` to find the device name, usually ttyACM0 or ttyACM1.
# # In my case, the message was "cdc_acm 1-4.1.1:1.0: ttyACM1: USB ACM device".
# esphome run --device /dev/ttyACM1 esphome_ble_esp32c6.yaml
# esphome logs --device /dev/ttyACM1 esphome_ble_esp32c6.yaml

Can you please provide the code? Already on a 20Mhz channel (with no other wifi or zigbee near it) and tried on high power when I was setting it up. U7 Pro Wall here, so it supports it.

I'd suggest to check your access point specs first. If yours have 11ac chip on 2.4GHz too, then it may worth playing with access point settings such as transmit power and channel number. Also, the narrow 20MHz channel width should give slightly longer range than 40MHz. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <https://gist.github.com/kabakaev/759a3292112225db50b98e2254598793#gistcomment-5589878> or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AXMZGZUC2H3QQECK2AAZ7NL27YZWBBFKMF2HI4TJMJ2XIZLTSKBKK5TBNR2WLJDUOJ2WLJDOMFWWLO3UNBZGKYLEL5YGC4TUNFRWS4DBNZ2F6YLDORUXM2LUPGBKK5TBNR2WLJDHNFZXJJDOMFWWLK3UNBZGKYLEL52HS4DFVRZXKYTKMVRXIX3UPFYGLK2HNFZXIQ3PNVWWK3TUUZ2G64DJMNZZDAVEOR4XAZNEM5UXG5FFOZQWY5LFVEYTGNJXGA4TSMRQU52HE2LHM5SXFJTDOJSWC5DF> .
