I purchased airthings wave plus and wave enhance. The wave plus was recognized instantly but the wave enhance has not been recognized by airthings-ble, even though the airthings-ble repo specifically states it supports the wave enhance.
Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with the wave enhance and airthings-ble? The only thing I can think of is if the airthings-ble package is outdated? What’s the best way to get a pip freeze output from HAOS?
Support for the enhance was only added 24 days ago, so I am almost certain it (airthings-ble) just needs to be updated.
I docker exec’d into the homeassistant container and found this: airthings-ble==0.9.2
I upgraded to 1.0.0 to see if I could get it added and work on opening an issue to get the base image version updated, but it didnt work.
homeassistant:/config# pip freeze | grep airthings
airthings-ble==0.9.2
airthings_cloud==0.2.0
homeassistant:/config# pip install -U airthings-ble

Going to look into opening an issue to get the integration or hass base image to use 1.0.0
Use this for now, add it to HACS.
Thanks for surfacing this! This works perfectly via Bluetooth Proxy and solve the problem I described on discord Discord
Does the core HA integration work for anyone for the Wave Enhance now?
Not sure, I don’t think so, but it’s very easy to download and install the linked repo to add the device to core.
The integration hasn’t been updated yet for the Wave Enhance. The Beta repo works though. I opened an issue to find out how we can get the Wave Enhance supported in the HA integration: Request: add Wave Enhance support for mainline HA integration · Issue #1 · LaStrada/HA-Airthings-BLE-beta · GitHub
