Describe the issue

I have added my Xiaomi lywsd02 and Xiaomi lywsdcgq temperature and humidity sensors to HA via ESPhome BLE https://esphome.io/components/sensor/xiaomi_ble.html?highlight=xiaomi_lywsd02

These devices are not picked up by your integration and I cannot add them manually either, although these devices are mentioned in the known devices library.

Reproduction steps

1. I try to add manually my device, but it won't show it in the available devices list

3. ...

Debug logs

The debug logs are to long. I have attached the logfile to the diagnostics dump

I've not got any experience of BLE via ESPHome but as long as it's showing as a device but doesn't have a battery level if you add the following to your configuration.yaml you will see all devices and should be able to add it manually.

battery_notes:
  show_all_devices: true

[KixMan28]

These are my current settings in configuration.yaml:

battery_notes:
  enable_autodiscovery: true
  show_all_devices: true
  enable_replaced: true
  default_battery_low_threshold: 10
  battery_increase_threshold: 60
  hide_battery: true
  round_battery: false

So based on this I should see them, but when I try to add them, they don't appear in the list of devices.

See attached the entities which don't appear in the device list.

[andrew-codechimp]

Looking at that I think you have 1 device with all the sensors in it. Since battery notes associates a battery type with a device this won't work with the BLE devices. I've seen something similar with an EcoWitt where the "hub" is the device.
Not much I can do about these really. I'm guessing other people are using a different way to get the BLE devices into HA where each is recognised as a separate device.

@andrew-codechimp Thank you, I will check it how can I add them differently.
