After testing many different things I have finally found a replacement for ST arrival sensors. I’m using Tile Pro’s. They look almost identical to the ST arrival sensor. The Tile app and integration is way to slow. After activating them with the app on your phone delete the app. Do not install the integration. I have a rpi4 running my HA. I activated the bluetooth on it and connected the Tile sensors with the bluetooth_le_tracker. Add this to your configuration.yaml
device_tracker:
# - platform: bluetooth_tracker
# track_new_devices: false
- platform: bluetooth_le_tracker
track_new_devices: false
I commented bluetooth_tracker out because I don’t use it at the moment. Change track_new_devices: true. I had to completely restart HA for it to start working and add the known_device.yaml file. After about 5 or 10 minutes change track_new_devices: false. Then restart HA. If you do not the list will just keep growing. Then go to entities and search device.tracker to bring up all the devices that were found. Remove the battery from the tile. Wait then put it back in. Keep doing this until you find your device in the list. Then you can go to known_devices.yaml and delete all the other devices and rename yours. To increase the bluetooth range I’m using ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy. Use the Olimex device. The M5Stack does not have the range to pickup the sensor very far. Plus it shares the antenna with the wifi so you will keep getting the Away notification. I had 5 M5Stacks around my house and they would barely pickup the vehicle outside the garage or in the driveway. I’m using 2 Olimex and have had no problems picking up vehicles when they come Home or getting Away notifications with them parked outside.
