INFO

The component supports AB BLE Gateway.

• It will subscribe MQTT data from AB BLE gateway and send to the bluetooth component of Home assistant.
• BLE gateway works like an external BLE scanner for HA

At least Home Assistant version 2022.10 is required for the integration.

Adding the integration

• Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
• If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
• In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called ab_gateway.
• Download all the files from the custom_components/ab_gateway/ directory (folder) in this repository.
• Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
• Restart Home Assistant
• In the HA UI go to Configuration -> Integrations click "+" and search for Integration AB Gateway
