The service data is only send in the scan response which makes it impossible for Home Assistant to discover these devices with passive only scans.

Typical solutions other vendors use:

Send the service data in the base adv (sometimes a problem since its limits to 31 bytes). The usual trade off is to move the local name into the scan response only to make room
Periodicity send the service data in the base adv, even if its only every 15 minutes or so.
