The state of sensor.sonoff_temperature says “unknown”
The sonoff switch id is : switch.sonoff_1000beb186
Just check if this is the config.
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
sonoff_temperature:
friendly_name: "Temperature"
unit_of_measurement: '°C'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('switch.sonoff_1000beb186', 'temperature') }}"
sonoff_humidity:
friendly_name: "Humidity"
unit_of_measurement: '%'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('switch.sonoff_1000beb186', 'humidity') }}"

i copied your code and put it in the config, then restarted the server.
now it is showing up perfectly!
Thank you so much for your time and effort

Hello to all, and first of all, I want to say Thank you to all people that are helping us (newbies) here.
I have installed same sonoff TH16 sensor, with the help of this forum users I managed to display data from it, but is there a way to force refresh it? Sometimes it gives me data from few mins ago, sometimes it returns data from hours ago, and … I don’t know how to force refresh on a fixed interval of time, or on demand. Thank you in advance.
Hello Laurentiu,
i opened another topic facing the exact same question:
Long story sort, you cant do it without flashing other software on it.
If you use the AlexxIT / SonoffLAN integration you can configure the refresh interval by setting i.e.
scan_interval: '00:05:00' # (optional) default 5 minutes
within the sonoff-block inside configuration.yaml.
Can you please give me an example of configuration for this scan_interval ?
And where exactly to add it? I’m new to HA and don’t know yet what files are for configuration.
This is my configuration, but … it does not update :
sonoff:
username: xxxxx
password: xxxxx
reload: always
scan_interval: ‘00:01:00’
devices:
10010b8405:
name: Sonoff TH
force_update: True
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
sonoff_temperature:
friendly_name: “Temperature”
unit_of_measurement: ‘°C’
value_template: “{{ state_attr(‘switch.sonoff_10010b8405’, ‘temperature’) }}”
sonoff_humidity:
friendly_name: “Humidity”
unit_of_measurement: ‘%’
value_template: “{{ state_attr(‘switch.sonoff_10010b8405’, ‘humidity’) }}”
As I mentioned it before the scan_interval-directive only applies if you use the AlexxIT / SonoffLAN custom integration (which I recommend since you will be able to circumvent the eWeLink/Sonoff-Cloud but run your TH’s etc. locally).
If you use that custom integration the sonoff-block inside configuration.yaml looks like i.e.:
sonoff:
username: !secret sonoff_usr
password: !secret sonoff_pwd
force_update: [temperature, power]
scan_interval: '00:05:00' # (optional) default 5 minutes
sensors: [temperature, humidity, power]
mode: local
reload: always # update device list every time HA starts
Thank you, but I don’t have all necessary hardware for flashing it.
Tamsy, maybe I’m to stupid to understand. Now I have the following configuration in configuration.yaml
sonoff:
username: xxx
password: xxx
force_update: [temperature, humidity, power]
scan_interval: ‘00:01:00’
sensors: [temperature, humidity, power, current, voltage]
mode: cloud
reload: always
I tried to set interval to 1 min just to see if it is updating, I tried with mode : local and cloud, but still not updating, when I check updating time, always shows more than 1 min.
What I’m doing wrong? I’m using AlexxIT/ SonoffLAN
So, without flashing, but using AlexxIT/ SonoffLAN we cant force scan_interval every X minutes, is that right?
Thanks for the reply @Tamsy!
We put scan_interval: '00:05:00' # (optional) default 5 minutes at configuration.yaml file below ewelink account credentials, right> If yes, i have already tested with out any results…
I don’t use the ewelink integration here, purely AlexxIT/ SonoffLAN installed through HACS.
Inside configuration.yaml, sonoff-part (for TH10 & TH16):
sonoff:
username: !secret sonoff_usr
password: !secret sonoff_pwd
mode: local
reload: always # update device list every time HA starts
force_update: [temperature, power]
scan_interval: '00:00:30' # (optional) default 5 minutes
sensors: [temperature, humidity, power, current, voltage]
OK, Nice, thanks for the reply.
Here is the issue: When i add the mode: local i dont see temperatures. If i comment it, temps appeared.
Why is that?
Can you check my config and tell me whats wrong?
Might at “sensors” i must put my sensor names?
sonoff:

force_update: [temperature, power]

Have you restarted HA after you made changes to configuration.yaml?
Also go to
Home Assistant --> Developer Tools and look for switch.sonoff_100114ad74. What is listed below “Attributes” for your switch?
Yes, i restart HA everytime after changes to the config file.
manufacturer: SONOFF
model: TH16
sw_version: PSA-BHA-GL v3.5.0
local: online
rssi: -71
unit_of_measurement: °C
friendly_name: Dining Room Radiator Temperature
device_class: temperature
After change mode: from cloud to local temperatures does not appear:
Your configuration looks OK to me. Under Attributes I am missing temperature, humidity etc. though.
Are you running AlexxIT/ SonoffLAN and the eWelink Integration in parallel? If so remove the eWelink Integration.
I only use AlexxIT/ SonoffLAN - not eWelink integration.
What i should check for temperature, humidity etc under Attributes?
Try the following in your configuration.yaml:
sonoff:
username: [email protected]
password: ****
mode: local
reload: always # update device list every time HA starts
force_update: [currentTemperature, currentHumidity, voltage_00]
scan_interval: '00:00:30' # (optional) default 5 minutes
sensors: [currentTemperature, currentHumidity, voltage_00, rssi]
devices:
100114ad74:
device_class: switch
