Height/Moving sensors not update

[fabiosoft]

I must use version 1.2.2 in order to avoi dconnection/disconnection loop but while moving the height sensor doesn't update unless i press the stop button for the cover.

Here is the log

Thats because they only update on 'bluetooth connect' now ... if you change the update_interval of both sensors accordingly (from never to 500s for example) you will get updates

  - platform: ble_client
    ble_client_id: idasen_desk
    id: desk_height
    (...)
    update_interval: 500s

Can't seem to get an event to trigger an automation, but having the above in at least provides some information. If you want a manual button you can use something like the below in addition to have a manual refresh, but I really think the current_operation data isn't moving across (I do see it in the code, but I do not get any events or state changes if I move the desk). I'm fine with lower update rates, but if you feel like hitting a button, that would work also:

button:
  - platform: template
    name: Update Desk Information
    id: update_desk_data
    on_press:
        # Update desk height and speed sensors on button press
        - lambda: |-
            id(desk_height).update();
            id(desk_speed).update();
