BLE proxy is lost after power is disconnected

[jonpaterson]

I have 3 ESP32-C3 devices. They show correctly as proxies when the ESPHome software is updated on the device, but if you cut power to the device after this, it will not register again with Bermuda unless you perform a re-installation on the ESP32 device. It seems as if Bermuda is not seeing or the device is not registering correctly as a sensor when it boots, only when the ESP32 software is updated.

I can replicate this issue consistently. Restarting HA does not cause the missing proxy to be seen, the re-installation of ESP32 seems to be the only resolution.
