SmartBatterySense?

[mogliasi]

Hello! What about SmartBatterySense? Following this doc the item exports TEMPERATURE and BATTERY VOLTAGE by Instant readout. Is it possible to add it?

Have you tried using the sensor of type TEMPERATURE and BATTERY_VOLTAGE? I assume a Smart Battery sense is producing Battery monitor messages. So all sensor from the column Battery monitor should just work. Is it working? If not can you please provide a log output of the ESP Home device in verbose mode?

Hi Fabian, this is the output from EspHome HA yaml validate

INFO ESPHome 2023.11.6
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/testing.yaml...

This is the custom code I added

  # MySmartBatterySense
  - platform: victron_ble
    victron_ble_id: MySmartBatterySense
    name: "Voltage Battery"
    type: BATTERY_VOLTAGE
  - platform: victron_ble
    victron_ble_id: MySmartBatterySense
    name: "Temperature"
    type: TEMPERATURE

Probabilly the problem is to use a new custom "victron_ble_id" that does not exsit in your code. Is it?

Hello, you're right! It's my fault. The sensor was dropped in wrong section (text_sensor) insted of (sensor).
