ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy
ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy is forwarding its data to the official Bluetooth integration in Home Assistant. The Bluetooth integration is forwarding the data to a brand specific integration（for example Xiaomi BLE  integration）.

Passive BLE Monitor integration
Passive BLE Monitor integration is using its own Bluetooth collecting mechanism based on aioblescan which is working at a lower level (HCI). BLE monitor is not using the Bluetooth integration to receive its data, and is therefore not able to receive data from ESPHome Bluetooth Proxies. You can use ESPHome BLE Gateway instead, which is able to forward data to BLE monitor in a similar way.
