Home Assistant Support for Inkbird IBS-TH1 Thermometer/Humidity Sensoir

This repo adds support for the Inkbird IBS-TH1 under Home Assistant.

Install this by dropping it into your config folder (path may vary from install to install). In my install, this would be at /config/custom_components/inkbird.

Change your /config/configuration.yaml to have something like;

sensor:
  - platform: inkbird
    mac: '90:e2:02:9b:45:3a'
    name: 'Cians Room'
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature
      - humidity

Obviously, the MAC and name you will change to tastes. The MAC you can find by using the scan.py inside helper_scripts. You can also test in a 'once off' fashion by using the test_btle.py with the changed MAC inside it.

There are a few caveats, of course;

1. I have not tested with multiple sensors yet Tested fine :)
2. the sensor itself has a pretty nasty 'drop off' signal, at around 25 feet (in my experience). Bluetooth is not meant for long range
3. The code is based on the Xiaomi Sensor, and as such, it double polls if you have both temperature and humidity in there. The Inkbird mini really doesn't like getting "Spammed", so I put in a throttle for 60s. Reducing that will not help but, it's your choice to make.
