It has 57 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 27, 2026. Philips Shaver is an integration that connects Philips Bluetooth shavers and OneBlade devices to Home Assistant over Bluetooth Low Energy. It runs locally and adds a device for the shaver with sensors for battery, remaining shaves, charge cycles, shaver head life and days since last use. It also provides binary sensors for charging, travel lock and cleaning reminders, buttons that reset maintenance notices, a light ring switch and brightness selector, and a shaving mode selector. Connection is either direct from the Home Assistant Bluetooth adapter or through an ESP32 running ESPHome as a relay, which suits a shaver out of range of the host. Entities are created only for features the detected model supports, and a dashboard card is registered automatically with the integration. Setup is done in the UI, and the shaver can be found automatically on the network. Automatic summary of the README and code of mtheli/philips\_shaver.

No vendor cloud in between. - **Found by itself**: Home Assistant spots it on the network and offers to add it. - **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS. - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services. ### Direct Bluetooth - **MAC Address** ### ESP32 Bridge (ESPHome) - **ESPHome Bridge Device**: Legend: ⚪ ESP unreachable • 🔗 paired slot • 🟢 empty slot ### Select BLE Device - **BLE Device**: Entries without status icons are empty bridges in pair-mode. Switch on the shaver you want to bond before submitting. ### Show capabilities - **Name**: How this shaver appears in Home Assistant. Pick something that distinguishes it from any other shavers you have (e.g., "Bathroom", "John's"). ### After setup - **Notification Throttle**: Minimum interval between BLE notification events forwarded by the ESP bridge (in milliseconds). Lower values give faster updates but may overload the ESP API buffer. Only applies to ESP32 bridge connections. - **Pipelined GATT reads**: Send the poll cycle's GATT reads to the ESP bridge as one batch instead of one at a time (much faster reconnects). Requires bridge firmware 1.10.0 or newer — on older firmware reads always stay sequential, regardless of this setting. Disable only if you see repeated read timeouts or ATT watchdog messages in the bridge logs. Only applies to ESP32 bridge connections.
