+    :description: Instructions for setting up BLE text sensors for the ESP32.
+    :image: bluetooth.png
+    :keywords: ESP32
+
+The ``ble_scanner`` text sensor platform lets you track reachable BLE devices.
+See the :ref:`BLE Tracker Configuration variables <config-esp32_ble_tracker>` for
+instructions for setting up scan parameters.
+The sensor platform is similar to :doc:`/components/sensor/ble_rssi` but in contrast to that platform, this text sensor sends out all raw BLE scan information and does not filter devices.
+
+The data this sensor publishes is intended to be processed by the remote (for example an MQTT client) and sends the data in JSON format.
