Hello, I would like to connect my fan/lamp wich should be based on a bt 2.4g connection. Is it possible to develop some support for it? ---

I’m really sorry for your laps. Hope you can fix it as soon as possible 😂 About my lamp is the following [https://m.it.aliexpress.com/item/1005004330055100.html](https://m.it.aliexpress.com/item/1005004330055100.html) ![IMG_20220809_165316](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/3/13f38cf6ea75148cdece03d354db95a2928cc5f7.jpeg) This one is the control part. As far I know it work via Bluetooth (at least the app that comes with the lamp, no need to pair it) This are all the data I know. If there are any others I can tell you, just let me know 😊 ---

If I understand correctly, you have an app for this lamp on your phone? Downloaded from playstore (assuming your phone runs Android)? If so, please tell us which app you are using and we can take a quick look. ---

Don’t worry no such expectations 😅 I’m from the “RTFM” generation, but is long time I don’t code anymore. But if you can address me in the right direction is good 😊 ---

I wonder if a solution lies in buying a cheap esp32 device or a [shelly smart plug](https://shellystore.co.uk/product/shelly-plus-plug-uk/) and then using something like this guy did for Home Assistant: > **[GitHub - aronsky/esphome-components: Custom components for ESPHome](https://github.com/aronsky/esphome-components)** > > Custom components for ESPHome ---

> [@K\_S](#): > > or a [shelly smart plug](https://shellystore.co.uk/product/shelly-plus-plug-uk/) What does a smart plug have to do with a ceiling fan? Usually those are controlled via switches, not plugged in to the power outlet. ---

That one has an ESP32 chip inside with BLE bluetooth inside which could be flashed with a custom version of ESPHome and then the potentially linked to Homey with the [ESPHome Controller | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.ugrbnk.esphome/ESPHome-Controller/) app. As far as I know this kind of ceiling fan uses BLE advertising rather than a specific bluetooth pairing, so the Shelly smart plug could be used to braadcast the fan commands using BLE advertising
