Today my HA installation reported a newly detected device, a Xiaomi Temp/Humidity BLE device. Problem is, I am not aware of having one
Under Devices and Service, I see the Xiaomi BLE
and there it shows 1 device LYWSD03MMC with a BT MAC, but as unavailable
I did recently install 2 thermometers using ZigBee

which both work fine via ZigBee
and also a new one:

which doesn’t work at all (I very occasionally got a single temp reading, but nothing more)
Questions:
- Could one of the above devices also report via BLE as Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC
- I am not aware of any neighbors using any such devices either, but it could of course be possible that mine picked up a foreign device
- I first got this notice when I was at the office, using my Android HA app (connected via Tailscale). Could it be that the app picked up the BLE device in the office and reported it to my HA? Does the HA app support devices via the app? That sounds strange, but who knows.
I will need to look for a BT scanner to see if the BLE mac address is still active somewhere
