H&T recognized by Home Assistant but values go to Not Available

  • I'm trying to integrate the H&T into Home Assistant, but the sensor goes in sleep mode even when plugged in to a power supply.
    This prevents Home Assistant to retrieve the values and Not Available is shown as values.
    Is there a way to prevent it from going into sleep mode?
    Would there be another solution?

  • I had a similar problem.

    You can't prevent it from going into sleep mode.

    but...

    According to recommendations I found online,

    I made several changes to the sensor.

    Goto Internet & Security >> Advanced - Developer Settings

    Check the box of "Enable CoIoT"

    Set the "CoIoT peer:" to <HA-IP:5683> (Exp. 192.168.1.107:5683)

    Goto Sensor Settings >> Temperature threshold

    Set "Temperature threshold" to 1

    Sensor Settings >> Humidity threshold

    Set "Humidity threshold" to 2

    The above settings causes the sensor to update the HA more often effectively.

    If it will not be simple, it simply will not be!

  • For me I have the temperature threshold at 0.5 and it's not enough. But I'll try with humidity to the lowest setting too and see if that helps. It's the curse when the environment monitored is too stable.

    I think that a firmware where you can set it to wake up like once every other hour just to say it's alive would help.

    The other alternative is to breathe heavily on it if it goes to sleep and becomes unavailable in Home Assistant.
