Inkbird IBS-M1 with IBS-P01

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).

I haven’t been able to get the new Bluetooth integration working with my dongle, but I suspect that maybe the alternative way of integrating, still looking for someone who has done it that way.

Passive BLE Monitor integration (Xiaomi Mijia BLE MiBeacon monitor)

I want to buy the Inkbird IBS-P02R (not bleutooth version). Is this possible to connect this sensor directly to Home Assistant or do I need a hub? Is this to connect through the Local Tuya in HACS?

Thank you.

Does this inkbird temperture senor could work with a RFXCOM?

I have this same issue, its english using the InkBird app, but that doesnt integrate with HA. Have it installed via local Tuya but the app is in Chinese so its a circle of getting nowhere.

I eventually gave up and returned the device. Went with Yolink where the HA integration is very solid. They don’t have the same range of temperature sensors as inkbird - but they do have an outdoor temp sensor with a probe that I put in my spa. Used white gorilla outdoor waterproof tape to hold the probe line in place.

I am in the same boat as many of you here with IBS-M1 version2 (blue INKBIRD text on the front) which is not working in any of two Tuya apps (on Android). Chinese text. Anyhow I connected it to the HASS according to the instructions but the value I get in HASS is 0. Really disappointed.

The actual error in the log is the following:

 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/asyncio/selector_events.py", line 1027, in _read_ready

I wonder if there is some other doungle/device that can received the signal from IBS-P01 that works with HASS?
