Supported devices

inkbird-ble recognises the following INKBIRD models. Each one is exposed as a member of the Model enum (importable from inkbird_ble); pass it to INKBIRDBluetoothDeviceData(...) when you know the model up front, otherwise the parser detects it from the first advertisement (passive devices) or you must supply it (notify-only devices).

Model	Family	Transport	Detection	Sensors
IBS-TH	Hygrometer	advertisement	local name sps	temperature, humidity, battery
IBS-TH2 / P01B	Hygrometer	advertisement	local name tps	temperature, humidity, battery

Transport guide

• advertisement — passive: feed every service_info to INKBIRDBluetoothDeviceData.update() and it returns a SensorUpdate. No connection is opened. The IBS-TH family, the eighteen-byte hygrometers and the iBBQ probes work this way; IAM-T2 is advertisement-only as well.

• advertisement only — the device cannot be polled or notified safely (IBS-P02B wedges its firmware until a battery reset if you open a GATT connection, see issue #116). All fields are already in the broadcast.

• GATT poll — the device exposes a readable characteristic; call async_poll(ble_device) when poll_needed() returns true. INT-11P-B carries no readings in its advertisement, so it must be polled.

• GATT notify — the device pushes readings over a notify characteristic; call async_start(service_info, ble_device) to subscribe. IAM-T1 and IHT-2PB use this transport. IHT-2PB additionally requires two activation writes (handled transparently) before it starts streaming.

Not supported

A few INKBIRD product lines that come up in the issue tracker are out of scope for this library:

• Sous-vide cookers (ISV-100W, ISV-100W 2.0, ISV-200W, ISV-300W, ISV-101W). These are Wi-Fi / Tuya devices, not BLE, so they cannot be parsed here.

If you have a device that looks like it should work but is not detected, open an issue with a BLE advertisement capture (e.g. from bluetoothctl or nrfConnect) so the model can be reverse-engineered.
