Mopeka Pro Check BLE Sensor¶
The mopeka_pro_check
sensor platform lets you track the output of Mopeka
Pro Check LP and Mopeka Pro Plus Bluetooth Low Energy devices using the
ESP32 Bluetooth Low Energy Tracker Hub. This component will track the tank level,
distance, temperature, and battery percentage of a Mopeka Pro Check LP or Mopeka
Pro Plus Residential BLE device every time the sensor sends out a BLE broadcast.
Warning
This sensor component only supports the Mopeka Pro Check and Pro Plus devices. The original Mopeka Check sensors are not supported.

Configuration variables:¶
mac_address (Required, MAC Address): The MAC address of the Mopeka device.
tank_type (Required): The tank type the sensor is measuring. See below.
custom_distance_full (Optional): distance sensor will read when it should be considered full (100%). This is only used when tank_type = CUSTOM
custom_distance_empty (Optional): distance sensor will read when it should be considered empty (0%). This is only used when tank_type = CUSTOM
level (Optional): The percentage of full for the tank sensor
All options from Sensor.
distance (Optional): The raw distance/depth of the liquid for the sensor in mm.
All options from Sensor.
temperature (Optional): The information for the temperature sensor. This temperature is on the sensor and is not calibrated to ambient temperature.
All options from Sensor.
battery_level (Optional): The information for the battery percentage sensor. Sensor uses a standard CR2032 battery.
All options from Sensor.
Tank Types¶
Currently supported Tank types are:
20LB_V
- 20 LB vertical tank30LB_V
- 30 LB vertical tank40LB_V
- 40 LB vertical tankCUSTOM
- Allows you to define your own full and empty points
Setting Up Devices¶
To set up Mopeka Pro Check / Pro Plus devices you first need to find their MAC Address so that
ESPHome can identify them. So first, create a simple configuration with the esp32_ble_tracker
and the mopeka_ble
component like so:
esp32_ble_tracker:
mopeka_ble:
After uploading, the ESP32 will immediately try to scan for BLE devices. For Mopeka Pro
Check / Pro Plus devices you must press and hold the green sync button for it to be identified.
For all sensors found the mopeka_ble
component will print a message like this one:
[20:43:26][I][mopeka_ble:040]: SENSOR FOUND: D3:75:F2:DC:16:91
Then just copy the address (D3:75:F2:DC:16:91
) into a new
sensor.mopeka_pro_check
platform entry like in the configuration example at the top.
Note
The ESPHome Mopeka Pro Check BLE integration listens passively to packets the Mopeka device sends by itself. ESPHome therefore has no impact on the battery life of the device.
