+- SwitchBot Meter Plus: temperature was wrong when the meter's display was set to Fahrenheit (e.g. 22.7°C published as -5.2°C). The broadcast value is always Celsius; the flag only says which unit the display shows
+- Xiaomi ATC: sensors using the `atc1441` advertising format were decoded with the pvvx layout and published nonsense temperatures. Both formats are now decoded, and BTHome payloads (not supported yet) are no longer misread as either
+- **Path change:** humidity is now published to `environment.<zone>.relativeHumidity`, the SignalK spec path (`humidity` is deprecated in the spec). Update any dashboard or alarm that reads `environment.<zone>.humidity`
+- Zone examples in the config screen and README now follow the spec's `inside.<zone>` / `outside` layout. Existing zones are unchanged

 This is a limited replacement for `bt-sensors-plugin-sk` that has SignalK BLE Manager support, with only a few sensors known to work and passive only BLE integration. It may work for other sensors not listed here, and PRs welcome to add or correct support.
 
 Passive BLE sensor listening for [SignalK](https://signalk.org/) — reads temperature, humidity and battery data broadcast by cheap, popular BLE sensors and republishes it to SignalK paths, without ever opening a Bluetooth connection to the device. Relies only on _BLE Manager_, so requires SignalK v2.31 or above with v2.34+ recommended.
