Presence detection for several devices: wrong source_type attribute in Home Assistant

[bcutter]

Describe the bug In Home Assistant (HA Core 2023.3.6) the device_tracker.xiaomi_smart_band_7 entity's attribute has source_type: gps even it should be source_type: bluetooth_le.

Interestingly, in MQTT it is correct in the device_tracker topic:

...
  "name": "MB/SW-tracker",
...
  "val_tpl": "{% if value_json.get('rssi') -%}home{%- else -%}not_home{%- endif %}",
  "source_type ": "bluetooth_le",
  "device": {
...
...

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set up a Xiaomi Smart Band 7
2. Activate BT: Publish HASS presence switch in HA
3. Wait to auto-discover the device
4. Check device_tracker entity's attribute

Expected behavior Attribute source_type should be bluetooth_le in HA, like it is in MQTT.

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OpenMQTTGateway version used: v1.6.0 / development a046c8

Additional context As it is fine in MQTT but not in HA I fear you might close this issue and redirect me to... well, where?

This issue is stale because it has been open for 90 days with no activity.

Not fixed. Will try to update HA to a newer version.

Anyway, wondering why there's not a single response after 3 months...

Interestingly, in MQTT it is correct in the device_tracker topic:

Not quite ;P took some time to really look closely, but there is a trailing space in "source_type ", messing the correct recognition up :(

Fixed with https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/pull/1853

Oh great, so sometimes it's the little things right... 😄 Can you estimate when this fix will be shipped (in a stable release)?

[DigiH]

As there are still some other issues which need addressing for the next release, a bit hard to say at the moment, but shouldn't bee too long.

[bcutter]

Alright so definitely 2024 and probably until February (or even January)? :-)

[bcutter]

Any update on this please? If I did not miss a release I tend to say we're still missing one, don't we? :-)

Please note I meanwhile discovered this for other devices provided by OMG/TheengsGateway too (other smart bands or a BM2 etc.) and therefore edited the title of this issue.
