Xiaomi Thermostat not updating data

Configuration
1

I bought this of Gearbest https://www.gearbest.com/robot-vacuum-accessories/pp_1306883.html?wid=1433363 with the hope I can connect it to my HA to control smart switches depending on temps.

I saw that you can add the sensor by grabbing the MAC address by connecting to a phone and using an app to get the MAC. This worked great and I now see the device on home assistant but the values aren’t updating.

It’s working in the MI Home app so i know the connection is with the gateway I have but it’s not getting through to HA. Is there something i’m doing wrong?

Hi i thought i would add my config to this thread to see if anyone can help.

  - platform: mitemp_bt
    mac: 4C65A8DCBEA6
    name: Temp sensor
    force_update: true
    median: 1
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature
      - humidity
      - battery

I have changed force update to be true but still no joy as of yet!

as you can see it’s discovered it

I have the Xiaomi Thermostat Accuracy Temperature Humidity Monitor

https://www.gearbest.com/robot-vacuum-accessories/pp_1306883.html?wid=1433363

which doesn’t look to be supported.

i did post about why it isn’t working which you can find here.

Yep thanks the mac needed to be with the : init.

Annoying as the Xiaomi gateway didn’t want them in so got confused.

Thanks again Jon.
