I REALLY want to make a sweet integration of all smart objects in my home. Unfortunately, I keep running into roadblocks. Some seem very ridiculous to be impediments but they are. Most of my efforts in the past for creating a Home Assistant controller has been in a Debian-based VM. On this go-around…

Hi, things can be confusing and daunting. EspHome is meant to create firmware for microcontroller devices, so it is not what you need to get your newly discovered devices to show different units. EspHome could come in handy if you have limited bluetooth range. To convert a device that measures inch…

This is a joke, right? You already have the propane sensors working in HA but just need to convert units? [image] RonRN18: I was referred to ESPHome By whom? How is ESPHome going to help with that? You’ve jumped down the wrong rabbit hole. You need a template sensor in HA — we can help with…

To be clear: when the device is autodetected and you add it, then it is integrated. So that part is done. The inches are likely the raw data. you need to know how many inches is full and empty. From that, and the entity id of the original sensor, we can help you write the calculation template. You …

There mopeka devices can be added in two ways. Either as a native integration in home assistant Mopeka - Home Assistant or via esphome Mopeka Standard Check BLE Sensor — ESPHome I am unsure if one is better than the other, but there are in fact two components for esphome, so maybe they cover more m…

I am still learning how to code it to look pretty but I found how to show the values of both of my tanks. At the moment, in my configuration.yaml file, I have added: template: - sensor: - name: "Door-Side Propane Tank" state: "{{ [ ((states('sensor.pro_check_73ef_tank_level') | floa…

Pretty enough for me, if I could suggest some improvements to make it even better: Add an availability template. When the base sensor is not available, the tank seems 0% with this. In that case you’d want to be unavailable too for all kinds of reasons. Add a unique_id will allow you to configure t…
