BeeWi SmartClim BLE sensor
The beewi_smartclim
sensor platform allows one to monitor room or external temperature and humidity. The BeeWi SmartClim BLE is a Bluetooth Low Energy sensor device that monitors temperature from a room or a garden from your smartphone by using an APP. Use this integration to track these metrics from any location thanks to Home Assistant, as well as to create some automation scripts based on your room’s temperature.
Installation
Depending on the operating system you’re running, you have to configure the proper Bluetooth backend on your system:
-
beewi_smartclim
will work out of the box as long as the host supports Bluetooth (like the Raspberry Pi does). - Using Home Assistant Container installation: Works out of the box with
--net=host
and properly configured Bluetooth on the host. - On other Home Assistant Core systems:
- Preferred solution: Install the
bluepy
andbtlewrap
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) andgatttool
via your package manager. Depending on the distribution, the package name might be:bluez
,bluetooth
orbluez-deprecated
.
- Preferred solution: Install the
Configuration
Start a scan to determine the MAC addresses of the sensor:
$ sudo hcitool lescan
LE Scan ...

Or if your distribution is using bluetoothctl:
$ bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# scan on
