|
The ``mopeka_pro_check`` sensor platform lets you track the output of Mopeka Pro
|
|
Check LP, Mopeka Pro Plus, or Lippert Propane Tank Sensors, 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 or Mopeka Pro Plus Residential BLE device every time the
|
|
sensor sends out a BLE broadcast.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This sensor component only supports the following sensors:
|
|
+ Mopeka Pro Check devices
|
|
+ Mopeka Pro Plus devices
|
|
+ Lippert Propane Tank Sensor, part number 2021130655
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/components/sensor/mopeka_std_check` for original Mopeka Check sensors support.

Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **mac_address** (**Required**, MAC Address): The MAC address of the Mopeka/Lippert
|
|
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 / Mopeka Pro Plus / Lippert Propane Tank Sensor 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 / Pro Plus / Lippert devices you must press and hold the green sync button for it to be identified.
|
|
Or alternativly set the configuration flag ``show_sensors_without_sync: true`` to see all devices.
|
|
For all sensors found the ``mopeka_ble`` component will print a message like this one:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
[20:43:26][I][mopeka_ble:074]: MOPEKA PRO (NRF52) 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/Lippert device sends by itself.
|
|
ESPHome therefore has no impact on the battery life of the device.
