Does ESP support running matter and BLE simultaneously? (CON-1492)

[Ajay2803]

Hello

I've utilized the example from https://github.com/oidebrett/starter-esp-matter-app, and we're planning to add BLE HID device control at the same time. I'm wondering if that's possible.

Here is an example of BLE HID that I have tested: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/bluetooth/bluedroid/ble/ble_hid_device_demo

I want to use my own app to control BLE devices by passing POSTMAN APIs to the matter device, which can then control and connect to BLE devices via HID proffile. Is it possible? And if so, how can I go about doing it?

I currently use ble exclusively for commissioning, after commissioning, BLE is deinilitiaized, so perhaps I can reinetialize ble and do this?

@Ajay2803 I'd suggest you to take a look at https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-matter/en/latest/esp32/faq.html#a1-16-using-ble-after-matter-commissioning
