+ +The recommended way to connect the desk to Home Assistant is by using an [ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy](https://esphome.io/projects/?type=bluetooth), as they provide the best experience. + +If you are not using an ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy, you need to keep `bluetoothctl` (or any other Bluetooth Agent) open during the integration setup, or it will fail to authenticate with the desk. The connection process is also less reliable than with ESPHome, so you may need to retry a few times until it succeeds. This is due to a limitation in the third-party Bluetooth implementation used by Home Assistant. + +
