Sonicare BLE Toothbrush Integration

This integration allows you to connect and monitor your Sonicare BLE toothbrushes in Home Assistant.

This is a beta integration and is being tested currently. There are issues that need to be sorted before the integration is live.

Prerequisites

Before installing this integration, you need:

• Bluetooth Adapter: Home Assistant needs access to a Bluetooth adapter
• Bluetooth Proxy (recommended): An ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy device for better range and reliability
  • Alternative: Home Assistant server with built-in Bluetooth adapter
• Supported Toothbrush: Modern Philips Sonicare toothbrush with Bluetooth connectivity (2017+)
  • Look for models that advertise "Bluetooth" or work with the Philips Sonicare app

Setting up a Bluetooth Proxy

If your Home Assistant server is far from your bathroom, a Bluetooth proxy will provide better connectivity:

1. Get an ESP32 device (ESP32-C3, ESP32-S3, or regular ESP32)
2. Flash it with ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy firmware
3. Add it to Home Assistant
4. The toothbrush will automatically connect through the proxy

For detailed instructions, see: ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy Documentation
