Bluetooth proxies are currently limited to forwarding passive data. Active connections are coming in a future release. Bluetooth integrations in Home Assistant will transparently use Bluetooth proxies without any extra coding!
Most integrations now support using the adapter with the best signal to connect devices that need an active connection. Extension cables, USB-Ethernet extenders, or USB-IP coupled with an additional Bluetooth adapter can significantly extend your active connection range.
There is more! Besides 9 new supported brands, there is also support for a new open standard: [BTHome](https://bthome.io) by [@Ernst79]. It is automatically discovered by Home Assistant, devices can run over a year on a single battery and it supports data encryption.
Finally, suppose you are using the Home Assistant Operating System. In that case, we recommend upgrading to version 9 or later when it is released, as it comes with a faster D-Bus broker and newer Bluetooth firmware which can significantly enhance Bluetooth performance.
Thanks to [@bdraco], [@Ernst79], [@JesseRockz], [@jc2k] for all the hard, amazing and epic work 🙏.
