IRK setup

[nmcrae85]

Describe the bug

Am i doing something wrong when trying to add the device to HA yaml file with something like this? I used the UI to get the IRK as per example below (not the irk is changed for the purpose of the post).

Just seeing not home...

• platform: mqtt_room
  device_id: "irk:e46c37a106468d1376c58d33881ee47a"
  name: 'Me BLE'
  state_topic: 'espresense/devices'
  timeout: 5
  away_timeout: 20 # number of seconds after which the enitity will get status not_home

The state_topic should be "espresense/rooms". At least, that works for me.

Also, setting 'devce_id' to the nickname was the trick for me.

Has that resolved for you?
I have the same problem, my IRK is displayed in MQTT Explorer and configured that way:

platform: mqtt_room
device_id: "irk:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
name: '(BLE) iPhone Marco'
state_topic: 'espresense/rooms'
timeout: 5
away_timeout: 120

Apple Watch and girlfriend's iPhone (same config) works. But my iPhone is always shown as not_home :/

platform: mqtt_room
device_id: "irk:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
name: '(BLE) iPhone Marion '
state_topic: 'espresense/rooms'
timeout: 5
away_timeout: 120

Earlier it had worked.

I had this same problem. it all worked fine with just one device being tracked but after adding a second, that only showed as "not home". I fixed it by changing the state topic to "espresense/devices/irk:xxxxxx" in each of the sensor declarations for the watches in sensors.yaml.

I was able to get it working by doing what @hdprice suggested!
