The `mitemp_bt` sensor platform allows one to monitor room temperature and humidity. The [Xiaomi Mijia BLE Temperature and Humidity sensor with LCD](https://www.amazon.com/Temperature-Humidity-Xiaomi-Bluetooth-Screen-Remote/dp/B079L6N6PC) is a small Bluetooth Low Energy device that monitors the room temperature and humidity. As only a single BLE device can be polled at the same time, the library employs locking to make sure this is the case.

|
|
## {% linkable_title Installation %}
|
|
|
|
Depending on the operating system you're running, you have to configure the proper Bluetooth backend on your system:
|
|
|
|
- On [Hass.io](/hassio/installation/): `mitemp_bt` will work out of the box as long as the host supports Bluetooth (like the Raspberry Pi does).
|
|
- On a [generic Docker installation](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/docker/): Works out of the box with `--net=host` and properly configured Bluetooth on the host.
|
|
- On other Linux systems:
|
|
- Preferred solution: Install the `bluepy` and `btlewrap` library (via pip). When using a virtual environment, make sure to use install the library in the right one.
|
|
- Fallback solution: Install `btlewrap` library (via pip) and `gatttool` via your package manager. Depending on the distribution, the package name might be: `bluez`, `bluetooth` or `bluez-deprecated`.
|
|
- Windows and MacOS are currently not supported by the `btlewrap` library.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
Start a scan to determine the MAC addresses of the sensor:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo hcitool lescan
|
|
LE Scan ...
|
|
4C:65:A8:D2:31:7F MJ_HT_V1
|
|
[...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or if your distribution is using bluetoothctl:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ bluetoothctl
|
|
[bluetooth]# scan on
|
|
Discovery started
|
|
[CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Discovering: yes
|
|
[NEW] Device 4C:65:A8:D2:31:7F MJ_HT_V1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check for `MJ_HT_V1` or similar entries, those are your sensor.
|
|
|
|
To use your Mi Temperature and Humidity sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: mitemp_bt
|
|
mac: 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
|
|
monitored_conditions:
|
|
- temperature
|
|
```
|

|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
Note that by default the sensor is only polled once every 5 minutes. This means with the `median: 3` setting will take as least 15 minutes before the sensor will report a value after a Home Assistant restart. Even though the hardware is able to provide new values every second, room temperatures don't change that quickly.
|
|
Reducing polling intervals will have a negative effect on the battery life.
