ThermoPro BLE Sensor

The thermopro_ble sensor platform lets you track the output of ThermoPro Bluetooth Low Energy devices using the ESP32 Bluetooth Low Energy Tracker Hub. This component will track the temperature, humidity, battery level and signal strength of the ThermoPro device every time the sensor sends out a BLE broadcast.

ℹ️ Note
Currently this component is only tested with TP357S devices. However, it should work with TP972, TP970, TP96x and TP3xx.

ThermoPro TP357 Temperature and Humidity Sensor over BLE.

# Example configuration entry
esp32_ble_tracker:

sensor:
  - platform: thermopro_ble
    mac_address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    temperature:
      name: "ThermoPro Temperature"
    humidity:
      name: "ThermoPro Humidity"
    battery_level:
      name: "ThermoPro Battery Level"
    signal_strength:
      name: "ThermoPro Signal Strength"

Configuration variables

mac_address (Required, MAC Address): The MAC address of the ThermoPro device.
temperature (Optional): The information for the temperature sensor.
- All options from Sensor.
external_temperature (Optional): The information for the ambient temperature sensor. This is only aviliable on TP972, TP970 and TP96x devices.
- All options from Sensor.
humidity (Optional): The information for the humidity sensor This is only aviliable on TP3xx devices.
- All options from Sensor.
battery_level (Optional): The information for the battery level sensor
- All options from Sensor.
signal_strength (Optional): The information about the BT RSSI
- All options from Sensor.

Setting Up Devices

To set up ThermoPro devices you first need to find their MAC Address so that ESPHome can identify them. So first, create a simple configuration without any thermopro_ble entries like so:

esp32_ble_tracker:
  on_ble_advertise:
    - then:
        - lambda: 'ESP_LOGD("ble_adv", "BLE device address: %s name: %s", x.address_str().c_str(), x.get_name().c_str());'

After uploading the ESP32 will immediately try to scan for BLE devices such as the ThermoPro, so you will see messages like this (please note the TPxxxx model name):

[13:36:43][D][ble_adv:042]: BLE device address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX name: TP357S (XXXX)

Note that it can sometimes take some time for the first BLE broadcast to be received.

Then just copy the address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) into a new sensor.thermopro_ble platform entry like in the configuration example at the top.

ℹ️ Note
The ThermoPro BLE component listens passively to packets the device sends by itself. ESPHome therefore has no impact on the battery life of the device.
