[FEATURE] Support for more BLE temperature sensors

[mike-yowen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The support for BLE temperature sensors is great, but the ones I already have (that are picked up fine as passive BLE temperature sensors by my Shelly devices) don't seem to be supported. I am specifically looking for support for the GoveeLife H5105 .

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for GoveeLife BLE temperature (and humidity) sensors in passive mode to the Faikin (and allow for passing the temperature and humidity values through to Home Assistant). It looks like there is already a solution in place that hopefully means you wouldn't have to start from zero - https://github.com/wcbonner/GoveeBTTempLogger. Happy to help gather any data as well.

That code looks like it has the details needed to decode them, for several models...

• GVH5075_xxxx
• Govee_H5074_xxxx
• Govee_H5179
• GVH5177_xxxx GVH5174_xxxx GVH5100_xxxx
• GVH5183
• GVH5182

Any idea which yours is?

[mike-yowen]

Looks like it should be supported with GVH5100_xxxx since support was added at the same time and they have the same length of data array, but I’m not 100%. I can ask if needed.

Is this the same one?

Yes!

Ok ordering one, so I can have a play. Anything I need to do to set it up?

[mike-yowen]

Cool, thank you. No set up. I just pulled the battery tab and it started advertising.

Hello! Since we're talking about this...
ESP8266 doesn't have a built-in BLE. How about supporting some sort of MQTT messages maybe ? So that i could use any other device in my smart home as a reference. For example, room sensor on my thermostats, driving electric heated floors. They are already intergrated with my smart home (yes, those are from Danfoss and i reverse engineered them); My smarthome controller could act as a gateway, supplying the temperature value.

We do support a control message with env and target. My environmental sensors use this over MQTT. This has been there a lot longer than the BLE stuff.

[revk]

The eagle has landed - I'll probably look tomorrow.

[revk]

In latest beta, do test. GVH5105 found and reported...

[mike-yowen]

Thanks. I think I'm missing something - updated to beta (Faikin-S3-MINI-N4-R2: bee9fdf) and enabled ble, but don't see the ble device dropdown like I did when I first got it. Do I need to enter the BLE sensor ID in autob and if so, what would the ID be?

[revk]

Can you check settings, and turn on BLE? It should not have lost that, but worth checking.

[mike-yowen]

Advanced -> ble was on but I toggled it for good measure. Still not seeing a drop down.

OK looking, very odd.

[revk]

Code has a check for showing that based on a remote state, which is set based on MQTT control messages. Any reason you would have these? If you do, they set the temperature, not BLE, hence hiding the option.

The other is the nofaikinauto setting, if that is set, again, no auto mode is shown, including BLE settings.

[mike-yowen]

Ah, it was the nofaikinauto setting. Showing now, seeing the H5105, and everything is looking good in HA. Thank you!

[revk]

Well done.
