Our verdict
A cheap Bluetooth body-composition scale (listings run roughly £17 to £28) that Renpho does not support in Home Assistant itself. A community BLE integration covers it, so this is a good fit if you already own one and a risky reason to buy one new. The integration's author warns that hardware variants sometimes use different protocols, so compatibility can vary between batches.
What can Home Assistant control on the Renpho Elis 1?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Sensor (read-only) | Latest weight, per user |
| Body composition | Sensors (read-only) | Body fat, muscle mass and related estimates reported by the integration |
Unofficial, community-built local Bluetooth integration installed as a HACS custom repository; it supports the ES-CS20M (sold as the Elis 1) and reports ES-32MD as working, with real-time weight, body composition and multi-user support. Unaffiliated with Renpho. Needs a Bluetooth adapter or proxy near the scale.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Renpho Elis 1 work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The Renpho Elis 1 is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a community integration installed through HACS, so it keeps working if your internet connection or the Renpho cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the Renpho Elis 1 use, and do I need a hub?
- The Renpho Elis 1 uses Bluetooth. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Bluetooth adapter on your Home Assistant host or an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Renpho's own hub is not required when you integrate through a community integration installed through HACS.
