Anyone use Inkbird IBS-TH2 temperature sensors with Bluetooth proxies?
The problem is that sometimes they update every few minutes and sometimes not for hours. No errors.
This particular one is in the freezer, but I have a couple of others not in cold metal boxes showing similar behaviour.
The proxies are there mainly for room tracking using the Bermuda integration, which is working perfectly. All are set to active.
I notice that the Passive BLE monitor integration from HACS specifically doesn’t work with proxies . Does this apply to Inkbird as well? Hard to see why the sensors would sometimes work.

I have the same issue, and looking for a solution. Reloading the InkBird integration solves it for a while.
Lots of discussion of this on GitHub, but apparently no action.

### The problem
I'm trying to collect data from 3 Inkbird IBS-TH2 BLE sensors w… ith the Inkbird integration, via ESPHome Bluetooth Proxies.
The entities are very rarely getting updates in Home Assistant, even though the devices are set with a 30 second interval. Some haven't updated in an hour, some haven't updated in several days.
### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
core-2026.6.3
### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
_No response_
### What type of installation are you running?
Home Assistant OS
### Integration causing the issue
inkbird
### Link to integration documentation on our website
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/inkbird/
### Diagnostics information
none appears to be available for this integration
### Example YAML snippet
```yaml
```
### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?
```txt
There are no logs from the integration at all, even in debug mode for an hour or two.
```
### Additional information
I've also tried getting this data via ESPHome's https://esphome.io/components/sensor/inkbird_ibsth1_mini/ sensor, and that doesn't seem to show the same problem, but that feels like a slightly less "good" solution as the devices aren't tracked as devices per-se.
You might try the Theengs Gateway app instead of the Inkbird integration - I’m getting better results with that.
