Hi, after implementing this I found that the first scan after reset always showed name & manufacturer, but from the 2nd scan these 2 values were not shown, so advertisedDevice.haveManufacturerData() was false and no data was published.

This was solved by adding init & deinit BLE in void loop(), I think that by doing this, every new scan found the inkbird sensors "for the first time", so that advertisedDevice.haveManufacturerData() = true and the code could run OK. Maybe after the first pairing the BLE data read was different, as the devices were no more "unknown" for the ESP32. I do not really know if this was the actual problem or why was this happening, and maybe there are more elegant solutions. This is my new void loop:

void loop() {
BLEDevice::init("myBLEScan");
client.loop();
if (cnt == 0) { bleScan(); }

cnt=cnt+1;

if (cnt >= 5) { cnt=0; }

client.loop();
delay(5000); // or 5s
BLEDevice::deinit(false);
}

Makes this sense? At least solved my problem and now I can read them in Home Assistant.
