Smart scale recommendation

[velvet lantern]

Looking for a smart scale to integrate into HA to track the weight of people.

I have a Xiaomi BLE scale which I have connected via a ESP32 Bluetooth proxy.

where did you buy it from

and was it this? - https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Body-Composition-Scale-Smart/dp/B07VD9F419

any special integration needed?

[royal bough]

That’s the one I have. In Home Assistant there is an integration which uses an ESP32 Bluetooth proxy. It exposes weight and impedance.

I have the same scale for about two years, it was automatic detected on first start through the BLE proxy ( ESP32 ) and always works flawlesly

[velvet lantern]

I assume it sends all weight and you can use HA to split people into variables?

[royal bough]

Yes. But you need to implement this logic yourself in HomeAssistant. So if everybody weighs about the same weight, then that is not possible.

[velvet lantern]

yeah I'm probably going to have to make toggles that get manually flipped to throw the weight amount into a variable and then turn off the toggle

@royal bough is that the best scale youve used? or have you ever considered another in the past. it looks good so ill bookmark it unless you have another opinion

[versed agate]

Yes, it only sends the weight to HA

it true that this is cloud push only?

[idle pilot]

Oh this would be really nice for keeping track of history.

Plus the evil side of me wants to create an automation where my Google speaker says something to my wife when she jumps on the scale 😏

[edgy sigil]

ha could make an educated guess by looking at the proximity of known phones? either by wifi or bluetooth proximity

but then the family may object to that kind of tracking inside the house
