can't init hci: no devices available

Hi, I added the integration in Home Assistant, but my blue system keeps on putting the bluetooth stick to hci1. Is it possible to change it, or maybe choose the default from Home Assistant?

Not possible sorry, it must be hci0. You will have to change your hardware configuration somehow

Also, will ESPHome BT-Proxy be used? 😅

No.
The bluetooth hardware must be physically attached as tesla-control wants to control it at the hardware level.

If you need a 'remote device' solution have a look at our other project https://github.com/tesla-local-control/tesla_ble_mqtt_docker which allows use of say a Raspberry Pi remotely located away from your HA system
