Xiaomi Sensors in phoscon have temperature

[phdelodder (Philippe Delodder)]

I recently switch to Conbee with deconz docker container for my Xiaomi sensors. When I look in the phoscon app I can see for each door or motion sensor there is a temperature. Can I get the temperature for each value in HA or isn’t possible?

No, the temperature is not exposed as a separate sensor in the Deconz API. I believe the temperature is only updated when the main sensor (i.e. open/close) is activated, so the usefulness of this function is rather limited.

See these threads for a discussion:

Deconz for Hass.io

I’ve setup DeCONZ with hass.io and I can see the xiaomi sensors I have, and that part is all working fine. Is there a way to have the temperature from these devices show in Home Assistant? I can see the temperature in Phoscon and also on the restapi response, but most of the devices only show battery level as an additional attribute, if that. I figured if I can pull back the temperature of window / door sensors, then I can use these with my boiler for automation.

Robban answerd in discord: the temperature report on Xiaomi door sensors are really bad with a high difference from the real value. So there is no point in supporting it

But there is also a issue on deconz-rest-plugin where it same the value seems accurate https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/1039

The values I have compared to an analog thermometer are acurate enough.
