I think I finally have my Inkbird IBT-4XS all set up and working well now. I also had the drop outs, but I saw that ocassionally my ESP32 wouldn’t get updates for jjst over 60 seconds and so the script would set the sensor values to zero. I just changed the delay value in the script to 90s and it all works fine for me now.
I also switched to Fahrenheit by just updating the maths on each probe (example below) and also made sure that if the value was 0C then the sensor would also report 0F rather than 32F.
Full script below with the usual wifi, esp32 and ap details ommitted:
if (probe0 < 60000 and probe0 != 0) {
id(ble_sensor_1).publish_state(probe0 / 10.0 * (9.0/5.0) + 32.0);
} else {
id(ble_sensor_1).publish_state(0);
}

Thanks for posting this. I was using the filter option on the sensor and just living with 32=0. Nice to have this little tweak!

good morning to me from this error if I insert the first part in the yaml of the esp32
Please remove the platform key from the [esphome] block. You’re already using the new style with the [esp32] block.

Hello I have been trying for a few days to be able to use ESP32Home with my inkbird, I installed the config file on my thermometer as described in the first topic, then I created my sensor file and the entities but it gives me an error telling me that the entities do not they have a unique id, I would like to clarify that the entities I imported from an old configuration that I had using MQTT by replacing only the sensor name.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I had a similar situation - an IBT-2x that is being reconginzed as xBBQ publishing temperature measurements with UUID 0x0001. The changes are (obviously) two:
Recognizing the device as xBBQ:
if (x.get_name() != "xBBQ") return;
Manufacturer datas for the temperature reading UUID is different:
if (data.uuid.contains(1, 0)) {
@paddy0174 Could you perhaps add a note to your original post about this variation as it is obviously getting lost down there? (btw. I’ve figured out the two changes by myself prior to finding the relevant solution already discussed here)

I might be missing something, but Inkbird thermometers are now directly supported as an integration:
If you want to use an ESP32 to extend the range, you should be able to just use the new bluetooth_proxy component in ESPHome:
So instead of all the complicated stuff in the original post. Just adding “bluetooth_proxy:” to your ESPHome config should do the trick, and the sensors should automatically be discovered.

good morning how is it possible to read the degrees even after the . like 29.2°C and not just 29?

but it gives me this error

Well. You are converting everything to integers using “| int” in your templates, so there will be no decimals.
You need to use floating point (| float) and the “round” function (| round(1)) in order to get what you want.
Also - I do not believe “accuracy_decimals” is valid for a platform sensor.
