Hei  
I have som issues whit range on som Bluetooth devices, the solution have been to use Esphome Bluetooth proxy and home assistant and use homey home assistant app to add them to homey.🤣

Is the a way to add Esphome Bluetooth proxy as an external antenna to homey to get the homey app to receive the sensors?

Maybe an MQTT Ble proxy works. Homey can process MQTT messages:

If you have a HP23, you could use a HimeyBridge as BLE sattelite. But it has a high price just to use it as a BLE antenna 🙈
