Issue with adding SwitchBot meter: Outdoor Hygrometer Thermometer

Open bklen opened this issue 1 year ago • 13 comments

I am having some issues with adding a switchbot "Thermo-Hygrometer", and hoping you all can help me out!

Sensor: SwitchBot IP65 Indoor Outdoor Hygrometer Thermometer
amazon link: https://a.co/d/9VOZyo0
SwitchBot link: https://us.switch-bot.com/products/switchbot-indoor-outdoor-thermo-hygrometer?variant=44560794812649

  I am able to add the sensor to Home Assistant using the SwitchBot add-on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pfbvTVE9Trey5ngG6uuW4FvJw8GnbKeH/view?usp=drive_link

  However, after following the instructions(https://github.com/devWaves/SwitchBot-MQTT-BLE-ESP32), I am having issues: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nlg9fyvSreWnqrhoBg-ZQtTUx0pQ9evb/view?usp=drive_link

  • Checking MQTT Explorer, the meter shows up under "homeassistant", and not under "switchbot"
  • Sensor values show up as "Unknown"

  I tried adding the sensor as a "Bot", just to see what would happen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UePuTuZMshxPls3sqSwUzsE-OLbFpe20/view?usp=drive_link

  • MQTT Explorer shows the bot in "switchbot" topic and "homeassistant" topic.
  • I do see "Battery", "Linkquality", and "Mode". However, I obviously can't see "temperature" or "humidity"
  • Excuse my ignorance as I am new to MQTT, but how come the added sensor/device shows up under the "homeassistant" topic. I assumed it would just show up under the created "switchbot" mqtt_main_topic

 
Please let me know if you need any more information, and thank you!!!

*Edit I got different "switchbot Thermometer and Hygrometer" (https://a.co/d/18Wl9Z2), and I was able to add these with no issues. Seems like the previous meters I got(https://a.co/d/9VOZyo0), are not implemented.
