Sht3xd ( or other i2x sensors) api Does not provide internal access to temperature or humidity (protected)

ESPHome

Hello folks, my first post !
so i am trying to display the temperature of sht3xd on my esphome device. the current workaround is to let the device publish to HA server and then retrieve the temp entity from HA server toward the esphome device and display it on the OLED … but it would make much sense to expose the two sensors inside sht3xd class as the are now private declared …
here is my Yaml and the error message associated any clue ?


sensor:

  - platform: rotary_encoder

    name: "Rotary Encoder"

    id : rotary

      it.printf(64, 0, id(arialfont_x_small_), TextAlign::TOP_CENTER, "bedroom Sensor");

      if (id(rotary).state >= 0)

        it.printf(0, 0, id(arialfont_x_small_), TextAlign::TOP_LEFT, "%.0f" , id(rotary).state);

      // Print time in HH:MM format

      it.strftime(5, 40, id(arialfont), TextAlign::BASELINE_LEFT, "%H:%M", id(esptime).now());

      it.printf(127, 23, id(arialfont_small), TextAlign::TOP_RIGHT , "%.1f°",id(tempSensor).temperature_sensor_->state);

      //if (id(this_temp).has_state()) {

      //  it.printf(127, 23, id(arialfont_small), TextAlign::TOP_RIGHT , "%.1f°", id(this_temp).state);

      // }

      // Print outside temperature (from homeassistant sensor)

      if (id(this_hum).has_state()) {

        it.printf(127, 60, id(arialfont_small), TextAlign::BASELINE_RIGHT , "%.1f%%", id(this_hum).state);

      }

error as described :

/config/esphome/bedroomsensor.yaml: In lambda function:
/config/esphome/bedroomsensor.yaml:150:87: error: 'esphome::sensor::Sensor* esphome::sht3xd::SHT3XDComponent::temperature_sensor_' is protected within this context
       it.printf(127, 23, id(arialfont_small), TextAlign::TOP_RIGHT , "%.1f°",id(tempSensor).temperature_sensor_->state);

You placed id: tempsensor on the wrong line. Change it like this:

  - platform: sht3xd
    temperature:
      id: tempSensor
      name: "Temperature"
    humidity:
      name: "Humidity"
    address: 0x44
    update_interval: 60s

Then the next line in the display lambda will work:

it.printf(127, 23, id(arialfont_small), TextAlign::TOP_RIGHT , "%.1f°",id(tempSensor).state);
