Mopeka Pro Check BLE Sensor
===============================
.. seo::
:description: Instructions for setting up Mopeka Pro Check bluetooth-based sensors in ESPHome.
:image: mopeka_pro_check.jpg
:keywords: Mopeka, Mopeka Pro Check, BLE, Bluetooth
The ``mopeka_pro_check`` sensor platform lets you track the output of Mopeka
Pro Check LP Bluetooth Low Energy devices using the :doc:`/components/esp32_ble_tracker`.
This component will track the tank level, distance, temperature, and battery
percentage of a Mopeka Pro Check LP device every time the sensor sends
out a BLE broadcast.
.. warning::
This sensor component only supports the Mopeka Pro Check device. The original
Mopeka Check sensors are not supported.

Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **mac_address** (**Required**, MAC Address): The MAC address of the Mopeka
device.
- **tank_type** (**Required**): The tank type the sensor is measuring. See below.
- **custom_distance_full** (*Optional*): distance sensor will read when it should be
considered full (100%). This is only used when tank_type = CUSTOM
- **custom_distance_empty** (*Optional*): distance sensor will read when it should be
considered empty (0%). This is only used when tank_type = CUSTOM
- **level** (*Optional*): The percentage of full for the tank sensor
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **distance** (*Optional*): The raw distance/depth of the liquid for the sensor in mm.
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **temperature** (*Optional*): The information for the temperature sensor.
This temperature is on the sensor and is not calibrated to ambient temperature.
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
- **battery_level** (*Optional*): The information for the battery percentage
sensor. Sensor uses a standard CR2032 battery.
- All options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
Tank Types
----------
Currently supported Tank types are:
- ``20LB_V`` - 20 LB vertical tank
- ``30LB_V`` - 30 LB vertical tank
- ``40LB_V`` - 40 LB vertical tank
- ``CUSTOM`` - Allows you to define your own full and empty points
Setting Up Devices
------------------
To set up Mopeka Pro Check devices you first need to find their MAC Address so that
ESPHome can identify them. So first, create a simple configuration with the ``esp32_ble_tracker``
and the ``mopeka_ble`` component like so:
.. code-block:: yaml
esp32_ble_tracker:
mopeka_ble:
After uploading, the ESP32 will immediately try to scan for BLE devices. For Mopeka Pro
Check devices you must press and hold the green sync button for it to be identified. For all sensors
found the ``mopeka_ble`` component will print a message like this one:
.. code::
[20:43:26][I][mopeka_ble:040]: SENSOR FOUND: D3:75:F2:DC:16:91
Then just copy the address (``D3:75:F2:DC:16:91``) into a new
``sensor.mopeka_pro_check`` platform entry like in the configuration example at the top.
.. note::
The ESPHome Mopeka Pro Check BLE integration listens passively to packets the Mopeka device sends by itself.
ESPHome therefore has no impact on the battery life of the device.
