Has anyone managed to use this package successfully? I am new to esphome proxies but have managed to add the package file and validated the code, which shows the sensors . The proxy update installs without any errors and in showing online. When I activate the probe it shows up in the proxy advertisements, showing the probes mac address which I added to the config yaml file substitutions, however there are no entries in the log file either showing connected or disconnected. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
You might get more help (but probably still not from anyone who has gotten this to work) if you provided more information.
This appears to be the code in the package you are using:
It appears that this thermometer requires you to connect to it to get data from it.
Many of the more common devices broadcast their information and many people have figured out how to convert that information into something usable.
I used to have an
INKBIRD Bluetooth Digital Wireless Food Meat Thermometer IBT-4XS
It just works with Theengs OpenMQTTGateway v1.8.1
It looks like the code you are trying to use was put up there 7 months ago and hasn’t been touched (not any issues addressed) since (so it kind of looks abandoned).
Hi & thank you for the reply.
My question I was hoping to get answered was “Has anyone managed to get this code working” because I like you noticed that the put up 7 months ago and I put a question to him/her but I have not had a reply, but looking at the site I notice that he is last post was 21st June 2026.
I will continue to try and get the probe connected, but if no one else has I may just have to admit defeat.
Thanks again
The answer is likely yes, but I doubt that is your actual question.
You’re more likely question is, “is there anybody who can help me get this working?”, since I suspect that is your real goal.
It is possible that the package just doesn’t work. It is possible that the way you are configuring it is incorrect. It is possible that both of those are true.
Share your config and logs and you will likely get more eyes looking at it to see what you might be missing.
The package appears to be using this: https://new.esphome.io/components/ble_client/
That has logging for when it connects to the device. Since that log is not showing up, it suggests that your configuration is not correct, or perhaps connection requires more. There are additional things that could be logged to get closer.
You could also tag the user who you want to answer to help them see your question.
