Bluetti BTNot working LocalUses encrypted protocol after firmware upgrade
Saved copy
The same thing happened to my EP500P after firmware upgrade. Now it uses an encrypted protocol. To retain control, we can switch to the official integration (https://github.com/bluetti-official/bluetti-home-assistant), but it's not local, it's cloud-based. Latest hassio-bluetti-bt (v2.xxx) should also work, but it can't control devices via encryped protocol.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
