[Feature Request] BTHome Format Support? #76

Closed ankushg closed 1 year ago

ankushg commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've got a few sensors that I've flashed with the pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer firmware.

I'm broadcasting with the BTHome format instead of Xiaomi, because it's an open standard that allows devices to broadcast their sensor data and button presses without being tied to a specific manufacturer. It's well-supported by other projects like Home Assistant as well!

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if WatchFlower could support the BTHome format too!

The format is quite well-documented: https://bthome.io/format/

Supporting BTHome could also reduce the effort it takes this project to maintain pages like the custom sensor page, and also adds support for cool devices like the open-source b-parasite soil moisture sensor

Thank you for linking the documentation. It does look like a well written doc indeed, I think I can add support for the format this week. I'll get back to you when I know more about these firmwares, but I should probably flash one device to see what's what.

Alright everything should be working with the ATC firmware, and there shouldn't be much missing to also support the b-parasite now. Many of the documentation pages have been updated too while I was at it.
