When Creating more than 1 entry on BodyMiScale it is not asking for weight threshold so I can separate which user is which

[msalessandro69]

when trying to add a mybodyscale instance I am not seing all fields to fill such as weight threshold for the user, is this expected?

Same issue here.. did you find a solution?

Hello, this is not configured in this component. It must be done upstream.

What do you mean by saying "upstream" ;

You need to create a sensor per user. You will find several examples in the issues or on the Home assistant forum. The operation is as follows: 1) I retrieve the weight from the scale 2) The weight is distributed to your user 3) Bodydcale reads this sensor

Thank you for the reply.
Is it possible to provide a link to an example?

Bonjour, ceci n'est pas configuré dans ce composant. Il faut le faire en amont.

Que voulez-vous dire par « en amont » ;

Il faut créer un capteur par utilisateur. Vous trouverez plusieurs exemples dans les issues ou sur le forum Home assistant. Le fonctionnement est le suivant : 1) Je récupère le poids de la balance 2) Le poids est distribué à votre utilisateur 3) Bodydcale lit ce capteur

Merci pour la réponse. Est-il possible de fournir un lien vers un exemple ?

Ok, but if i do this then i will need to stop using your integration but rather the new template sensors, correct?

No not at all. I think you haven't understood the purpose of this component. It is used to calculate your BMI, ideal weight.... (as you can find on smartphone applications linked to your personal scale). If you only want to display your weight this will not actually serve you.

We fixed it! We used the template sensors as input for the different profiles in the integration instead of the scale sensor and now everything is working as I would like. We are a family of three and each person has his profile and when he gets on the scale, the template sensor which has the correct range will give the value as sensor input to the correct profile. As such I can still use your integration for each of different person.
