In the couple of years since I started down the HA rabbit hole it's mind-blowing what people are able to do w/ these devices.

I watched the video with my coffee this morning, and just finished installing the sensors before bedtime. Amazing. Thanks for this.

Awesome! Glad to hear it. It's a great project and I feel it has only started.

@jakekooser 2 роки тому

@@digiblurDIY full disclosure, I started by setting it up in ESPhome after watching the video, and made it to the point where I realized that they don't support the Govee sensors, and if I had read ahead, I would have gotten the sensors that ESPhome can use, but instead I now have 1 single Tasmota device that works in my network. Everything else is ESPhome.

@romanykemp9042 2 роки тому

I have 3 of the BT Xiaomi sensors that I'm using - 2 in freezers - one in frig. I placed each of them in a small zipper lock baggie - to try to minimize moisture/ice buildup on the inside. The lowest battery percentage I'm seeing after at least 3 months in use is around 40% - and those are in the freezer as you could guess. So far I'm happy with them - they seem to be accurate - at least when I first installed them I check them with a mercury thermometer. The batteries are very cheap. If you don't mind running wires a ESP32 board with ds18b20 sensors (temp only) work really well. I have a hybrid hot water heater from Rheem (heat pump on the top 1/3 of the unit). I have 4 ds18b20 sensors (via one ESP32) on the Rheem - one slipped under the insulation where the top electric element is - also one near the lower element. I added the one to the lower to see why it took almost an hour running on heat pump only for the upper water to show any increase in temp. The heat pump "coil" has to be at the bottom of the unit - you do see that part of the tank heat up almost immediately. But that where the cold water enters - so big diff (40 degrees sometimes) between upper and lower). Anyway I also track the temp of ambient air coming in and the (colder) vented air going air - just to get an idea on how well the heat pump is working. I was using the Xiamo for this task until I found about the ds18b20 - they work better. The Xiamo have a bit of a noisy output - sometime varying almost .8 degree on each sample.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to try out Tasmota on an ESP32, this is the perfect excuse. One use case could be to use this in a outside weather station, since the sensors seem robust and waterproof, then use the ESP32 to get the data back into MQTT or something else, like LoRa

Great video, I will have a look. I use Bluetooth beacons as presence detection for years now. I have one in each of or cars, when HA detects a beach the car is set to be at home. If no packet received for 15 seconds the beacon is marked as away. There a brand in OZ called arlec that does bluetooth devices but I was never able to get it to work with HA, maybe this will do the trick.

Nodemcu, DS18B20, Reed switch, dab of silicone. Been monitoring the deep freeze for over a year. Tiny slit in the gasket on the hinge side for the probe. Seal w/ RTV. I know if the temp goes up for too long or the door is left cracked open. Sometimes a shelf or box inside can hang it barely open.

@michaelhenderson5098 2 роки тому

I did the same, only didn't slit the gasket. Finally pulled it out due to ice forming. The d1minit performed flawlessly with the ds18b20 sensor. This sounds like a viable option. I also have a window sensor mounted on the outside of the door and Node Red automation to notify me if the door has been open for 90 seconds or longer. :)

@KaidoKurrikoff 2 роки тому

Thanks, Travis, it is good to see new things with Tasmota. Have you tried the same BLE monitoring with ESPHome, seems that both allow the same functionality. Are there any advantages in setting up one vs the other?

@digiblurDIY 2 роки тому

Yes. I actually have been migrating off of esphome for this to Blerry. The mqtt flexibility of multiple devices picking up sensors and discovering right into HA as separate devices is pretty awesome. I have mentioned several times in the past I preferred to use ESPHome for BLE stuff but that has quickly changed with Blerry. Not to mention Tasmota has support for the various esp32 types/variants too. So I can have light switches pick up BLE.

@PapLab 2 роки тому

@@digiblurDIY I'm using 5 esp32 with esphome to get data from about 20 xiaomi sensors all over the house (I got the ones with e-ink display) and as you said, having them discovered as a single device in ha with multiple sensors is a bit confusing. I could migrate to tasmota32 ble but before I need this to work with an am43 curtain motor (that is actually working with esphome!)

@FrankGraffagnino 2 роки тому

great stuff. question for you. i noticed that it was already reporting BLE sensors over MQTT before you even put in the blerry stuff. What is the advantage of using the blerry scripts versus the mqtt reporting straight out of tasmota?

@digiblurDIY 2 роки тому

If you are already doing it via mqtt then no need to fix it. This is more of using multiple hosts and other sensor types.

@antonmol5490 2 роки тому

I've got kind of the same idea running on ESP home. Are there any differences besides the platform?

@mjoshd 2 роки тому

Yes. Actually once you reboot the device to start everything the active scanning toggles back off.

Hi Travis. Followed your excellent instructions. Everything looks correct. I used the Inkbird wireless Thermometer AND Humidity monitor. I get no information from the sensor on the Main Page of Tasmota other than the temp of the Nodemcu chip. The sensor works fine with their app and I have identified the proper IP address on the sensor. Do you think it could be the combination sensor rather than the temp only Inkbird?

@digiblurDIY 2 роки тому

There will be no info on the Tasmota GUI. Blerry sends it over mqtt to the telemetry topic in your blerry.be and if you enabled HA auto discovery it will come up as a device in MQTT devices in HA.
