MAC Address issue

[Delgnelm]

Hi,

It look like I have an issue with the MAC Address, and the YAML catch it like an interger...

Here is how the YAML (had to put a screenshot for the color):

devices:
  - mac: d8:**:**:**:**:20
    name: ****
refresh_interval: 150
retry_count: 10
retry_wait: 3
log_level: DEBUG
mqtt_discovery: 'true'

I've past several hours searching on google for this issue, but didn't find a method to pass it normally... I try simple and double quote, no success, each time the YAML comes back as show on the screenshot.

Hence here is my error message on Debug mode... Don't know if someone have a better understanding of my issue...

Thanks !

It sounds like you are concerned that the last number in your mac is highlighted as an integer, this is just your editor highlighting it nothing else I would guess, not an issue.

Try it without the mac and see if it finds the device, should work... I think

Also It seems it was disconnected not anything wrong with the mac address...

Hi Sverre,

Thanks for your reply.

I retry without providing MAC addresses in the configuration.

It's like on a loop, then sometimes I got this:

Then if I copy and paste the "Suggested configuration" I have the same error as my previous post....

I have first installed the Airthings app on my Smartphone and setup the Airthings device with it.
When trying to use this code, I shut down my cellphone bluetooth, to make sure the Airthings device is available, but I'm stuck with this error and disconnection.

@Delgnelm, looks like you're using a different component and not this one. Your logs are showing that you are using the https://github.com/mjmccans/airthings-mqtt-ha project
