Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Extend the ble_client to support 8 digit PINs.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Pax Calima uses 8 digit PIN for authentication. I would like to add Pax Calima to the HA and for that I would need a BT proxy that connects to the Pax Calima with the PIN.
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start by locating the ble_client implementation and its current PIN handling. Reproduce the Pax Calima authentication use case and inspect how an 8-digit PIN should be accepted without affecting existing support. The issue names no file or test, so completion is verifying a successful connection with an 8-digit PIN.
