It handles the low-level BLE advertisement decoding so you don't have to manually parse raw bytes. Most INKBIRD sensors broadcast their readings passively, so you can extract temperature, humidity, and battery values without establishing a connection\u2014just pass a BluetoothServiceInfoBleak object from habluetooth to the parser and iterate over the results. A smaller subset of models require active polling or subscription over a persistent connection, which the library supports via async methods.\n\nThe package is built on top of habluetooth and sensor-state-data, integrating with the broader Bluetooth sensor ecosystem. It's classified as Pre-Alpha but is actively maintained and supports Python 3.11 through 3.14. The library is designed for integration into home automation platforms and custom BLE monitoring applications where you need reliable, structured access to INKBIRD sensor data.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a BLE integration or home automation system that needs to read INKBIRD sensors. The library handles the parsing complexity and integrates cleanly with habluetooth. Pre-Alpha status and 20 GitHub stars suggest early-stage maturity, so expect potential API changes; verify device model support against your hardware before committing to production use."},"id":"inkbird-ble","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inkbird-ble","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/inkbird-ble.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/inkbird-ble/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-28","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"inkbird-ble","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parser for INKBIRD BLE devices"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75663,"position":14688,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.0"}
