:description: Instructions for setting up Bluetooth LE in ESPHome.
:image: bluetooth.svg
The ``esp32_ble`` component in ESPHome sets up the Bluetooth LE stack on the device so that a :doc:`esp32_ble_server`
can run.
.. warning::
The BLE software stack on the ESP32 consumes a significant amount of RAM on the device.
**Crashes are likely to occur** if you include too many additional components in your device's
configuration. Memory-intensive components such as :doc:`/components/voice_assistant` and other
audio components are most likely to cause issues.
