Inkbird IBS-M1 with IBS-P01

The IBS-M1 reports data back to tuya as well.
I can view this information in device debugging

Hi @LPB23,

The only information you need from iot.tuya.com is the local key that belongs to the device ID.

See this post

Then all you need to do is go to LocalTuya and add a new device using the Device ID, local IP address, and Local Key

I have IBS-P01 & IBS-M1S, not sure if the S is important in the M1S, but maybe.

I can link with tuya and local tuya, but haven’t been able to extract any values, the device only shows ID 110 and ID 111, neither of which are temperature.

When I pair with Inkbird App I get useful information, when I pair with tuya app, it pairs successfully but doesn’t present any useful informtion, So I suspect it is the tuya end and nothing in HA.

Any ideas:

I have not heard of an m1s before.
This is what I see in the tuya app.

Hmm, quite different for me:

I noticed this statement

  • Sensor: Support Tuya sensors, include
    wsdcg, # Temperature and Humidity Sensor

At Tuya Official Home Assistant Integration on Github now! - #8 by Oleok

I then saw this issue

This article might be relevant too

Thanks for the pointers.

It looks like an upstream (tuya) issue, which I don’t hold out much hope for…

Looks like there is a difference between generation one two for the IBS-M1 and I have generation two, which doesn’t seem compatible with HA at present as it isn’t recognised by tuya IOT platform.

This is what I have too? Was this correct?

Just received my ibs-m1s yesterday and ran into the same issues as you. Didn’t realize the m1s (m1 second generation) wasn’t compatible with Tuya. It only works with the inkbird app for now. Wish I knew this before I bought it.

Same, although have a look at the Bluetooth BLE integration in HACS, I haven’t tried but it looks like it may work without the MBS.

Mine looks like this a well when i add it to the tuya app?

Mine doesn’t look like this? its all Chinese?? Thoughts

Were you ever able to get this to work? Mine also comes up in Chinese so I assume I have the same issue

Did you ever get a resolution to the IBS-M1 connecting to the Tuya app in Chinese?

i havent retried to be honest

It’s a bit of a struggle for sure. I think that my M1S has linked to my pool sensor - because I get alerts on my phone that the temperature is out of range - but my Chinese is pretty weak :slight_smile: so I really don’t know beyond that. In HA, Tuya shows the M1 (I have several other devices connected to Tuya) - but it says there are no entities on the M1 - so HA isn’t seeing the thermometer. Sigh…

Hi - Did you ever resolve the M1 showing up in Chinese? I’ve got the same issue and am struggling with the direction to go here! Thx.

One more here to the “mine looks Chinese” crew. Has anyone solved this yet?

I wish my Python skills were good enough to create an integration directly via Inkbird (instead of Tuya / Smart Life).
