hass-amphiro-ble's Issues

Unclear how to add/configure integration

Hey there!

From the Readme it is unfortunately not clear to me how to install this integration. I have added the page as custom repository to HACS and installed the integration. When I attempt to add the integration afterwards, I only get the following screen:

I am using HA 2023.5.4. Bluetooth is enabled via an ESPHome bluetooth proxy, which works quite well with the Xiaomi BLE integration.

What am I missing? Does the integration still work with the latest version of Home Assistant?

Deprecated constants which will be removed in HA Core 2025.1

HA logs have the following mention that some of the constants used will be deprecated in a year. Thanks already beforehand if you have the time to fix this in the near future @chkuendig!

Logger: homeassistant.const
Source: helpers/deprecation.py:205
First occurred: 18:46:47 (8 occurrences)
Last logged: 18:46:51

TEMP_CELSIUS was used from amphiro_ble, this is a deprecated constant which will be removed in HA Core 2025.1. Use UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS instead, please report it to the author of the 'amphiro_ble' custom integration
TIME_SECONDS was used from amphiro_ble, this is a deprecated constant which will be removed in HA Core 2025.1. Use UnitOfTime.SECONDS instead, please report it to the author of the 'amphiro_ble' custom integration

Incorrect sensor type

The sensor labeled as POWER (KW) is actually of type ENERGY (kWh)

[Issue] The integration only receives data the first 2 seconds

Hi @chkuendig and thank you for this integration.
I have the Hansa version of the Amphiro DHS.
The device is properly detected but it is receiving data only for the first 2 seconds after opening the tap. If I close the tap after another let's say 10 seconds and open the tap again, the values get updated with the missing quantities, and get updated for another 2 seconds and stop updating again.
Any idea what could be the reason?

I don't see any errors in the HA logs.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Setting up / error

So I copied the custom_components folder to my installation custom_components folder and restarted Home Assistant. Did Add integration and chose amphiro BLE. Nothing appears on the setup dialog and in log I found:

2023-02-16 15:15:25.114 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.amphiro_ble.models] Amphiro data format not supported: b'\x00\x06\xf5\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00F\x18\x00\x00\x16O\x00\x00\x00'

The shower head is an Oras branded Amphiro.
