BLE Device detected but not changing

[Brenen]

Hi there,

I have a Esp32 that I’m trying to setup with the SmartDry via this thread:

Clothes Dryer Automations

To get this working without the SmartDry cloud, you will need to buy an esp32 dev board. I bought this one from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/ESP-WROOM-32-Development-Microcontroller-Integrated-Compatible/dp/B08D5ZD528/). Install the ESPHome addon for Home Assistant, plug your esp32 device into your computer, and open ESPHome on your computer (it should be in your Home Assistant side bar). Click the “NEW DEVICE” button and set up your device. After it is set up, you will see the device on the…

My esp32 takes a long time to detect my device and after it detects it, the values don’t change:

[10:39:17][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Shake': Sending state 49.00000  with 1 decimals of accuracy
[10:39:17][D][text_sensor:067]: 'SmartDry Raw': Sending state '3b07874140fc524231007d00'
[10:39:21][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Humidity': Sending state 52.74634 % with 4 decimals of accuracy
[10:39:22][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Awake': Sending state 0.00000  with 1 decimals of accuracy
[10:40:00][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Temperature': Sending state 16.87853 °C with 4 decimals of accuracy
[10:40:08][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Battery': Sending state 125.00000  with 1 decimals of accuracy
[10:40:16][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Dryness': Sending state 45.67127 % with 4 decimals of accuracy
[10:40:17][D][sensor:127]: 'SmartDry Shake': Sending state 49.00000  with 1 decimals of accuracy

The device data does change with other BLE integrations that use MQTT and the raw data is visible on a BLE scanning android app, the issue seems to be with the esp32.

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
