I have a Reverie 5D Smart Beds. Up to recent ESP Home update I was using "SmartBed MQTT" integration designed for Home Assistant. This integration worked but never was reliable. Too many different components are involved in this integration:
Home Assistant + BLE Proxy + MQTT Broker + HADB
Recent updates for ESP Home (BLE Proxy) completely broke this integration and who know when the fix will be ready (if it ever will be). All this inspired me to design as simple as possible direct integration with HE. There was a challenge to reverse engineer a serial control commands to the JB-MP108 Bed Controller (I still need to figure out how to send a commands with parameter). The communication is Serial RS232. Thanks to the Hubduino (@ogiewon) project and after I learned a format for Serial Commands creating DYI Serial Controller for direct integration with HE was just a matter of few days. As a result I have a very solid controller for my Reverie 5D Smart Beds directly integrated with HE (already installed and tested, all works as expected):
