+> ESPHome builder v2025.8.0+ is required
+
+## Framework Migration to ESP-IDF
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> **ESP-IDF Framework Migration**
+> 
+> Starting with version **2025.8.0**, TX Ultimate Easy will use **ESP-IDF** as the default framework, following ESPHome's direction towards ESP-IDF for better performance, stability, and feature support.
+> 
+> **What this means for you:**
+> - **New installations**: Will automatically use ESP-IDF (no action required)
+> - **Existing Arduino users**: Can continue using Arduino but with limited support
+> - **Migration recommended**: For better performance and full feature support
+> 
+> **Arduino Framework Support:**
+> - Still functional but **no longer actively tested**
+> - **Limited support** will be provided for Arduino-specific issues
+> - May miss out on new features optimized for ESP-IDF
+
+### Migration Guidelines
+
+#### For New Users
+No action required - ESP-IDF will be used automatically.
+
+#### For Existing Arduino Users
+
+**Option 1: Migrate to ESP-IDF (Recommended)**
+1. **Best practice**: Flash via serial/USB to ensure proper partition setup
+2. **Alternative**: If serial flashing isn't possible, flash OTA twice consecutively to improve success rate
+
+**Option 2: Continue with Arduino**
+Add this to your YAML configuration to force Arduino framework:
+```yaml
+esp32:
+  framework:
+    type: arduino
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]  
+> **Migration via OTA:** When switching frameworks via OTA, the partition table may not update correctly. Flash twice in succession to ensure both firmware partitions contain the latest firmware and prevent boot failures.

+
+### Optional Features
+
+#### Bluetooth Proxy
+TX Ultimate Easy is fully compatible with ESPHome's `bluetooth_proxy` component.
+To enable Bluetooth proxy functionality, add the following to your device configuration:
+
+```yaml
+bluetooth_proxy:
+  # Optional: Configure specific settings
+  # active: true
+```
+
+**Requirements for Bluetooth Proxy:**
+- ESP-IDF framework (default framework, not recommended with Arduino framework)
+- Sufficient memory (TX Ultimate Easy components are compatible,
+  but adding additional custom components may require memory optimization)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Bluetooth proxy functionality is provided by ESPHome's native component.
+> TX Ultimate Easy ensures compatibility but does not include it by default to maintain optimal memory usage.
+
+### Advanced Settings
+For more granular control over components,
+you can use our [advanced configuration template](TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_advanced.yaml).
+This template allows you to selectively include specific packages, which can be useful for:
+
+- Troubleshooting specific components
+- Reducing memory usage by excluding unused features
+- Customizing functionality for specific use cases
+
+Here's an example of the advanced configuration:
