Highlighted is the part that is changing when either button is pressed: 601 or vibration is detected: 401
Not sure which one is battery
Based on your info, I think is should be something like this
101642524164C6B545F6F18E0606060100
10 = length (in hex) = 16 bytes
16 = 16 bit uuid
4252 = UUID (0x5242) (read backwards per byte)
4164C6B545F6F18E0606060000 = data
Data
41 = device type?
64 = battey? (64 in hex = 100 --> 100%)
C6B545F6F18E = MAC address
0606 = ?
06 = measurement type (06 = button, 04 = vibration, ....)
0100 = measurement (read backwards per byte, so, 0x0001 --> 1 = True, 0x0000 = Off
Legend! Is there a way to incorporate a dynamic sensor setup based on the data received? Something like settings menu where you can define how the data is translated?
Can you please try 12.0.1-beta. It should add support for the vibration sensor and button (as remote single click binary sensor)
Sorry, I think I used the wrong branch. Can you try again with the 12.0.2-beta release?
hmmm, it is recognized as a iBeacon. No additional sensor with a MAC address C6B545F6F18E?
The tricky thing with iBeacons is that they rotate their mac address. Can you make some longer log, like you did in your opening post?

This one does not change the MAC The device is a beacon device but with few extra sensors
Ok, my bad. It added it further down the list, so I now have 2 devices. One with uuid in the name and the other with MAC. Vibration and battery seem to work, but button does not change
That is because the sensor sends both iBeacon data and service data.
Not sure about the button. Can you verify that the 06 is changing when you click the button.
not sure what is going wrong. If I enter your BLE advertisement in the data_parser service of BLE monitor

Received documentation from HolyIOT with data info (Excel file) https://filetransfer.io/data-package/Mb95m4zz#link
They make various devices with temp/humidity etc. Can make a generic one for the whole HolyIOT selection
Added all measurement types in 12.0.3-beta. Changed the remote single click to a button sensor. Can you test this version?
Sensors should now be added when they are being broadcasted, so it might take a while before they all show up. You might have to delete the device first, to remove the remote single click binary sensor.
For some reason it still does not show the button =( Also, for the vibration sensor, can you assign an icon? Comes up as blank
dont know what happened, but now can see the button. Enabled debug logging to see what was going on but it just started to work
Hmm, strange. Try to use it for a day, just to check that it keeps on working.
I’ll add an icon for vibration.
Yeah, I have been trying it for some time. Looks good. Not sure about other sensors like temp etc as my device does not have them, but should work
the ibeacon works, but the button press doenst do anything. do i have to change anything in the app?
You need to monitor BLE adverts from your phone. Problem is that it does not retransmit the button press for long, so if you are pressing in between the intervals that BLE monitor scan, it will not be registering. Try holding the button for a minute or whatever your scan interval is set to. That's the reason I am not using the button You may have better luck with a ble components on esp32 boards with a more frequent scans
