The ``inkbird_ibsth1_mini`` sensor platform lets you track the output of Inkbird IBS-TH1 and IBS-TH1 Mini Bluetooth
Low Energy devices using the :doc:`/components/esp32_ble_tracker`. This component will track the
temperature, humidity and the battery level of the IBS-TH1 Mini device every time the
temperature, external temperature (non mini only), humidity and the battery level of the IBS-TH1 device every time the
sensor sends out a BLE broadcast. Note that contrary to other implementations, ESPHome can track as
many IBS-TH1 Mini devices at once as you want.
many IBS-TH1 devices at once as you want.
.. note::
If an external temperature sensor is connected to the IBS-TH1, measurement from the internal sensor is not sent.
Only one sensor will work at a time.
