Same error here. Adding the addon "Airthings BLE - Unexpected error" log show: Unknown error occurred from B0:91:22:XX:XX:XX: 'date_time'

Known issue since 30 aug --> https://github.com/custom-components/sensor.airthings_wave/issues/93#issuecomment-1232090555

I am seeing the same Unknown error occurred from B0:91:22:XX:XX:XX: 'date_time' error in my HA Core logs. I have two Airthings Wave devices: one 1st generation, and one 2nd generation. The gen2 Wave was detected automatically by the new integration in HA 2022.11.0 and is working great. The error message I see in the log is for the gen1 Wave. There are significant differences in how the sensor data is fetched from a gen1 vs. a gen2 Wave, which I suspect may be a factor here.

@magfro @tgmos Which generation of Airthings Wave do you have? Serial numbers 2900xxxxxx are gen1, and 2950xxxxxx are gen2.

[MartyTremblay]

I concur with your assessment @bcochrane I have a 1st gen as well.

[magfro]

@bcochrane Yes, serial 2900* here as well, so Gen1 it is.

[johntdyer]

So are we saying that Gen1 is not supported?

[tgmos]

Both of mine are gen1, serial 2900*

[poohbah]

Same here. Two units both gen 1 model 2900.

[Plampi64]

Same issue, serial is 29300*, firmware BLE 2.1.0 / MSP 2.1.0 / SUB1 2.0.17

[mikeboiko]

Getting the same error

[aeklo]

S/N 2950* and 2900* with same issue.

[KSchmeeds]

I am also seeing this error for my 1st Gen Wave.

Works great in 2022.11.3 Thanks!!!

[Plampi64]

For me not. When try to install, get error "504 Gateway Time-out". All other bluetooth devices are working normally. At least it is different error than before.

As i am not physically in this place where Airthings is installed, cannot commit that issue is not caused by Airthings itself. It is not low battery -issue as i have separate powersource installed for Airthings to avoid batteries. Also no errors seen on Logfiles anymore.

Unfortunately i have to wait until new year to check that all is ok on Airthings side....and then I come back to this.

Works great in 2022.11.3 Thanks!!!

Me as well. Thanks!
