I’m excited to announce the release of Theengs Android mobile application, the application uses Theengs Decoder to read data from BLE devices and display those to your mobile,
you can download it on Google Play (paid app)
To stick with the spirit of OpenMQTTGateway the app can also be used as a gateway to an MQTT broker! So if you have an Android touch screen, you can install the app and configure it to read BLE sensor data and push it to Home Assistant.
Note that if you want to run the integration in the background this is possible as an experimental feature (we need your feedback on this)
We came a long way from removing the decoding of BLE sensors from OpenMQTTGateway, creating a dedicated library, creating a gateway, a Home Assistant Addon a data explorer and now a mobile application!
And you know what, this is not the end, we have plans to release the app for other platforms

New release v1.2 version with an impressive number of new compatible sensors:
Hydractiva Digital-Amphiro/Oras
April Brother-ABTemp
April Brother-N03
Oria/Brifit/SigmaWit/SensorPro-TH Sensor
Otio/BeeWi-Door & Window sensor
Qingping-CGDN1
SmartDry-Laundry Sensor
Switchbot-Motion Sensor
Switchbot-Contact Sensor
ThermoPro-TP357
ThermoPro-TP358
ThermoPro-TP359
The automatic creation of the sensors into Home Assistant through MQTT discovery, no need to manually create your entities and devices, they will appear directly into Configuration->Devices.
You can also Black List devices from the Device browser (click the + icon)
And finally, the application is now compatible with iOS!
What’s Changed
Generic device implementation, when a device doesn’t match an existing widget we display the raw values by @emericg
Hello! Thank you for working on this project. I’m trying to use the Android App with Mosquitto. How is one supposed to set up autodiscover with this arrangement?
Once done you can connect to your broker with a client like mqtt explorer to see the data coming.
With 1.2.0 version Home Assistant discovery is enable by default, so if you have compatible devices you should see them below home/TheengsApp with the real time data. And see the sensor definition into homeassistant topic.
If you get to this point, the sensor entities should be automatically created into HA and visible from the MQTT integration or the Settings->Devices page.
Thank you for the quick reply! I have all that configured. I can see all my BLE devices in the app and in MQTT explorer. Just as you described.
However, the auto discovery isn’t occurring. Just to be clear, I’m using Mosquitto hosted in HA. I used my HA credentials in Theengs and in MQTT Explorer.
I also made sure to set the discovery prefix to “homeassistant” as per the mosquitto config.
Mosquitto log if that helps. The 10.1.40.18 address is my Android with Theengs. It looks like it times out the connection. Unsure why that is.
