Integrating Xiaomi Mi Scale

Third party integrations
22

I didn’t want to start home assistant as root, so I wrote a small mqtt gateway for the mi scale: https://gist.github.com/syssi/4108a54877406dc231d95514e538bde9

This is my home assistant configuration:

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "miscale"
    state_topic: "miscale/weight/kg"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"
    unit_of_measurement: "kg"

You have to change the MISCALE_MAC, MQTT_USERNAME, MQTT_PASSWORD and the MQTT_HOST. Have fun! For a successful passive bluetooth scan root privileges are required.
