Hello,
I bought 3 of them - Model SS01TH-ESP-EU
Powered one, WiFi AP appeared but both my phone and my laptop failed to connect to them. I tried a few dozens of times and then I saw in the manual that there is also a bluetooth possibility. Went to my Home Assistant server and it auto-discovered the device via BLE: hit configure, added SSID and password, successfully connected to my WiFi and then discovered by HA as a ESPHome device. Having the device properly connected to my WiFi I decided to remove the BLE connection, the device had no issue with that. However, after unplugging it from power and plugging it again, it doesn't connect again to the WiFi configured via BLE. This is far from a reliable device, I cannot configure it everytime the power goes down and back up again. Is there any way of solving this? It pisses me off that the connection to the device AP didn't worked.
Firmware version - 1.0.5 (same as the current yaml listed on github)
To configure the device, connect the sensor to your computer, open the link below, click Connect, and then configure Wi-Fi.

I managed to fix the problem by hard-coding the wifi ssid and password in the yaml and then flashing it OTA in the device. I also turned on fast_connect since my IoT Wi-Fi is hidden and I found in docs that this is needed for hidden networks, on the github yaml it was turned off. I didn't try to disable the bluetooth proxy, but maybe I will with the next device, just for my knowledge. Also to answer your last question, I was unplugging only the temp sensor from power supply, not the whole house. So the router was always online.
Thanks for the fast reply and support!
But you mentioned that you can no longer connect after unplugging the power supply. This may be related to your wireless router. If you still have problems, please contact customer service
The problem should be caused by adding a bluetooth proxy. It was solved after deleting the bluetooth proxy configuration.
What is your ESPhome version number?
