With the refinement of skilled manufacturing and testing processes, The production cycle for BP2 units has returned to normal, with most units typically completed within one to two days.。

Having DIY numerous popular BP1 and BLEDongle-1M units, we sought to advance further by exploring BLE proxy functionality via direct POE and Ethernet connections. Test results proved remarkably refined, demonstrating exceptional stability and efficiency. POE power supply enables a more streamlined design, allowing placement anywhere. This, I believe, will significantly enhance Home Automation's Bluetooth capabilities to a new level.

In design, we employed the powerful ESP32-S3 development board as the main controller. By integrating POE power supply while retaining the USB Type-C programming port, this module has captured our interest.

It supports multiple operational configurations:

• 100Mbps Ethernet port + Type-C power supply
• POE power supply + 100Mbps Ethernet port

We've incorporated extensive interface displays showing operational data, ensuring it doesn't function as a black box.

Additionally, we've implemented a dedicated switch for active scanning mode. This helps reduce power consumption for low-power devices that shouldn't be constantly scanned.

In summary! We hope you enjoy this exploration! Have a splendid time.
