My integration is super solid now with just the Bluetooth integration. Using some esphome Bluetooth proxies near each device and the data has been exactly what I’m looking for. I might revisit using HomeKit again now that I understand the pairing process, but the data collection represents some odd collections. Will keep an eye on it…
Hi @Lux4rd0,
I notice you have the same anomaly on the Qingping Air Monitor Lite temperature signal.
I opened a topic yesterday describing the issue, but have not got any reply:
My devices are connected trough homekit.
Do you know how to fix this strange temperature signal?
Thanks!
Yep - you ran into the same issue I did. I didn’t find a way around it and could not determine where the problem was - in HA or the air sensor. I’ll follow your topic - hopefully, somebody else sees the same thing. I moved to using Bluetooth proxies and haven’t tried HomeKit again.
Hi @Lux4rd0, what Bluetooth integration are you using? Via the Quingping integration?
I have the issue that the Air Monitor Lite is detected right away (after a device reset) by the Quingping integration (via Bluetooth) and I get readings for the sensors for a couple of minutes, but then the sensors become unavailable. I have a bluetooth proxy right next to the Air sensor, so it can’t be bad connectivity.
@flle - yep - via the Qingping integration. I have three devices - all using esphome Bluetooth gateways and they’ve been rock solid. Not sure how I’d troubleshoot those issues. Does the data show up in the Qingping app?
@Lux4rd0, thanks for your reply, I somehow missed that. I had not used the Quingping app so far but did so now. Since I added the Air Monitor there and configured the wifi access for the device (via the app), the sensor data keeps coming into HA via the qingping integration. I am not sure, if it sends the data via Bluetooth or Wifi now but at least it works. The monitor was also discovered as a Homekit device in HA after I integrated it into the Qingping app on my mobile, but I did not configure that in HA. I’ll keep it in the Qingping integration and hope it remains stable now.
As I have written in previous linked topic, the problem is fixed now. temperature data now lands correctly into home assistant. Although a new issue occurred in firmware version 4.8.1. All sensor data is now pushed each second, instead of once each 2 minutes…
So just a question, because I’m unable to add these to mii home:
Is there two different versions of this available, one that’s mii-home + qingping app, and other homekit+qingping?
The version I was able to find doesn’t mention mii home, just homekit

And with those two, I can only get the BT integration to work and one of the sensors is a bit too far for reliable operation.
Is there any other way to get these working with one or another mii plugins over wifi?
After I switched the Xiaomi Home app to the Mainland China region, now suddenly I can add the air monitors
Thanks to some youtube videos.
