I despair of setting up the Blue Smart Charger and have already invested way too much time. Do any of you have an idea? MAC and Passkey are certainly correct, I have reset the device, tried new BT pin, another ESP32... Can't get any further. Setting up the Smart Battery Sense worked immediately. Here is my yaml:

Blue smart charger must have Firmware version v3.61, do yours?
Also Check:
#62

It's on v3.61 and the victron app shows the BLE-Data on the first page. So, the BLE Data is on air.
The user @BikeAtor has no problems with IP22-Charger with Fabians solution:

It makes sure you are using the latest version. Upload a log from when you start the ESP so it is easier to understand what is missing.

@FloX5E70 Does the log contain any messages afterwards? Theses messages are just the status messages logged on start as overview. They don't indicate any issue.

Only odd thing is are your scan paramter. Can you please try the default ones (remove them) or the following:

esp32_ble_tracker:
  scan_parameters:
    interval: 10ms
    window: 10ms
    active: false

Thanks

Hello Fabian, thaks for your support. Without changing anything except the position of the wifi accesspoint, the integration works fine. Don't really understand why, but I don't have any issues. Maybe a problem with my ESP32.
