Glad to see so much work on this!! I don’t have a rPi so I’m still planning on developing an alternative that doesn’t rely on the Bluez stack, maybe on ESP32. No timeline…
Thanks a lot Carlos, your script works great!
To find your MAC, run bluetoothctl and issue “scan on”. You will soon see a device with the SN of your radoneye (which you can see when you launch the iPhone app - I assume android too), and the associated MAC.

Great work on this as I just purchased a RD200 and tested the code with success. I too poked around last night in the code and started to implement MQTT upload as a command line option. Also I am starting to look at HACS to add it as a custom component in my install. skis4hire and Carlos great work on figuring this out and creating the code.

Thanks skis4hire, great reverse engineering…
You can also log bluetooth packets on iPhone.
https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/
In the RadonEye iPhone app, in addition to just displaying the current reading, there is another screen that will download all the the logged past readings from the device and plot it. I was trying to capture this process with bluetooth logging.
I think (?) when triggering the download, the app sends an \xE8 (instead of \x50 or \x51) and gets a 20-byte reply, then sends an \xE9 and gets a longer reply, maybe the log data (6 packets x 20 bytes = 120 bytes). I have ~55 data points logged (55 hours uptime) so if 2 bytes each I guess that would fit into 120 bytes. When the app plots the data, it is a kind of bare-bones plot, the x-axis is simply labeled “Time(1hour)” so I think it’s just the last X hours of data plotted. That would be consistent with no timestamps in the data, just the radon readings.
However, I wasn’t able to reproduce the above in python on my raspberry pi… I do get a 20-byte reply to the \xE8, but no response to the \xE9 message, which is weird. When I send the \xE9 I seem to get a repeat of the response to the last command, whatever it was. Maybe I don’t know how to read multi-packet messages in python? I have to read up on btle.Peripheral maybe.
(BTW this device is great, the measurement responds really quickly if you move it to a new part of your house, very nice for sorting out radon level in different areas… the competing device by Airthings gives only a 24 hour average reading.)
What is this for? can anyone eli5?
@mepster On Android app also have this options. But I hate that it has no timestamp. Because this I created this script. On RadonEye app plot, it shows only 1hour average, then you can’t see radon peak.
Btw, I’m not a home assistant user (lol), I use EmonCMS, then I use my script to write radon data to input feeds on EmonCMS and plot a graph with timestamps
My radon ploting with EmonCMS (one week):
So I hacked up the code a bit for some testing to start. It is currently logging in Home Assistant via MQTT. In doing so the following was added, -m option to export to mqtt. I then set the following as a cron job to run every 5 minutes.

Hi ppl!
I’ve just upped to my repo new version with MQTT support.
Since I’m using EmonCMS I implemented it to use MQTT EmonCMS format and I created a key to register each RadonEye individually using last octets of bluetooth address (useful if you have more than one RadonEye).
Since I’m just noticed @TheDoC mqtt version to Home Assistent I’m tried to append his idea to my code, but since I not Home Assistent user I cannot test it if the idea works on HA (including a key associated to bluetooth address).
Then, please test and give me feedback.
Thanks

I will test the new code out tonight. The only suggestion I have is for the client to have an identifier with a randomized number appended to the end. I was having issues with connection errors before I added it as it seemed that it was not closing out the session after issuing the client.disconnect()
client = mqtt.Client("FR_R20_SN|%s" % randint(1, 2300), clean_session=True)
And then for HA the state topic will need updated to reflect the last 3 octets appened to the topic as client identifier.
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: 'Radon Level'
unit_of_measurement: 'pCi/L'
value_template: '{{ value_json.radonvalue }}'
force_update: true

Thank you for your hard work in developing this.
@TheDoC Hi. Thanks for reply.
Ok, I added the random ID generator. Anyway, explicity ‘clean_session=True’ isn’t needed, it’s already the default.
REkey var is created with octets separated by dash. Unless if it’s isn’t supported by Home Assistant (it’s not?).

Upped to repo the changes.

@ceandre The dash in the REkey should be fine. I must have overlooked the the replace “:”,"-" portion and thought it was stripping the : out completely. That was my bad.
Also I had the ‘clean_session=True’ in there as I was throwing args at it to fix the connection issue before stumbling on the random number generation in the client id.
Thank you again for diving right in.

Hi all,
thanks to the first post getting all the information about the BT-Proto of the radoneye sensor. I have spent some time to programm a custom_sensor.h with radoeye for esp32 boards using esphome-Software. It is not done yet, but maybe a good start.

Nice bit of code. Do you have a github link to a sample project so we can see all the parts in play?
Also:
- What’s a decent update/query frequency?
- Do you keep the connection open all the time? If so, what’s the impact on the sensor battery life?
thanks for your amazing esphome custom codes…
I don’t have radonEye, but I’ll buy one for your help.
I’ll attach with my esp32 nodes which already integrated with Xiaomi Sensors.
thx again
Hi all,
thanks for the radoneye component and the background info of the community.
Try to get it work but it seems to be that I am missing some bits.
I am runniung HA on a NUC / docker / hassio environment.
Managed to activate bluetooth on the NUC and got the MAC of RadonEye.
What I have done:
copied radon_reader.py to config/python_scripts in my HA config
chmod -X
tried to run
./config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypassword’
in hassio terminal console.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py”, line 12, in
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
ImportError: No module named paho.mqtt.client
seems to be the environment paho.mqtt.client is not accessible in terminal console within hassio.
tried than within HA as a script which I executed via developer_console / states for testing
script:
radon_readout_script:
alias: ‘radon readout script’
sequence:
- service: shell_command.read_radon_value
in configuration.yaml
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: ‘Radon Level’
unit_of_measurement: ‘pCi/L’
value_template: ‘{{ value_json.radonvalue }}’
force_update: true
state_topic: ‘enviroment/radoneye’
python_script:
shell_command:
read_radon_value: ‘python /config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypassword’
tried also:
shell_command:
read_radon_value: ‘curl /config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypassword’
read_radon_value1: curl /config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypassword
read_radon_value2: ‘curl ./config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypasswordl’
read_radon_value3: curl ./config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py -a XX:YY:ZZ:AA:BB:CC -b -v -m -ma -ms 192.168.2.100 -mu my_username -mw mypassword
What am I missing?
tnx

" No module named paho.mqtt.client"
You need install paho-mqtt
Try:
sudo pip install paho-mqtt
Thanks for coming back that quickly; unfortunately within hassio I can`t install via sudo pip install paho-mqtt; I can do that just on the host but that does not help to get paho-mqtt available on HA hassio.
Is there a way to circumvent this requirement as I have a mosquito broker running as a hassio addon.
Or might it be possible to use your script within AppDaemon
(AppDaemon is a loosely coupled, multithreaded, sandboxed python execution
environment for writing automation apps for Home Assistant home automation
software. It also provides a configurable dashboard (HADashboard) suitable
for wall mounted tablets.)?
Thanks

got it installed after reboot, but I think in this environment it is nonvolatile.
Also getting the next error:
File “./config/python_scripts/radon_reader.py”, line 14, in
from bluepy import btle
ImportError: No module named bluepy
tried to install:
sudo pip install bluepy
Installing collected packages: bluepy

Working dir is /tmp/pip-install-KKKIjf/bluepy
execute make -C ./bluepy clean
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
So I think in hassio I have to go the appdaemon route. Therefore the script needs additional code but I am lacking knowledge to code this.
Thanks
