oralb-ble
Bluetooth library for Oral B devices
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to parse Oral-B toothbrush Bluetooth advertisements in a Home Assistant context or similar passive BLE listener. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it safe to adopt. Pre-alpha status means the API may change, so pin the version if stability is critical; otherwise it is suitable for its narrow, well-defined use case.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; requires a source of BLE advertisements (typically from home-assistant-bluetooth or similar Bluetooth integration).
- Low friction install with a pure-Python wheel.
- Active maintenance as of August 2026 with recent release history.

What it is and what it does
oralb-ble is a stateful Bluetooth advertisement parser designed to extract sensor data from Oral-B toothbrush broadcasts. It does not initiate connections; instead, it passively decodes manufacturer-specific data that the toothbrush transmits while in use. You feed each BLE advertisement into the parser and receive structured sensor updates containing device state, brush mode, pressure level, sector information, and signal strength.
The parser maintains state per device instance, allowing derived fields like sector timer and toothbrush state to remain accurate across multiple advertisements from the same device. It is built on top of bleak, bleak-retry-connector, bluetooth-data-tools, bluetooth-sensor-state-data, and home-assistant-bluetooth. The package is in pre-alpha development but actively maintained, supporting Python 3.10 through 3.14.
Use it for
- Extract real-time toothbrush state and sensor readings from BLE advertisements in Home Assistant or similar home automation systems
- Monitor oral hygiene metrics from Oral-B devices without pairing or connecting
- Build a passive Bluetooth listener that collects and logs toothbrush activity data over time
- Integrate Oral-B device telemetry into a custom IoT application that processes BLE advertisements locally
