Support for Govee H5109 Bluetooth Pool Temperature Monitor

Feedback

Is there any chance that the Govee H5109 Bluetooth Pool Temperatire Monitor can be added to the list of supported devices? The currently working Home Assistant integration is not detecting this new unit via the ESP32 Bluetooth Proxy setup.

Thanks for your code.

Looking at the manual on page 6, I believe the probe communicates to the smart gateway over 433MHz based on the network connectivity specification. I do not believe this device provides data via BLE between that and the smart gateways specifications listing network connectivity: 433MHz, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz

You are correct. That was a good observation. I wonder why they went with the 433 MHz frequency and a custom "Gateway" unlike their other sensors that use BLE 2.4 GHz. BLE supports the same 100 meter radio range. Thanks for the reply.
