Mi Flora plant monitor sensor lux readings

Sand · April 26, 2018, 5:41pm

I just got 4 Mi Flora plant sensors and I get some large negative spikes for lux readings.
Anyone know if it is a hardware issue or home assistant issue?
And if those values should just be flipped to positives or discarded altogether.

Edit: On latest Hassbian btw.

Noticed the same on mine, they haven’t done this before - it’s a new thing.

Well that’s certainly a strange coincidence.

It happens to me every now and then.
Easiest solution is to use a filter sensor.

Just making and assumption but are you using them with the plant monitor?

Allright I’ll just set a filter.
Actually I didn’t even know about the Plant monitor component. But now I will try it out, so thank you for that

Haven’t added filter sensors to mine yet but here are some examples of mine.

Nice. I like the compact view of the plant card. But the icon for conductivity should be changed ^^.
Maybe to mdi:sigma-lower.

This was a known issue and since fixed:

here’s the specific issue:

Should be in the next RC I think. It was merged here:

Thanks a lot!

noticed the same, and wanted to open a new topic

great news, that it’s addressed and solved already, but please ignore my ignorance, what does RC stand for in this context?

Should be in the next RC I think

if it’s “release candidate”: RC of what? hass? or a special library?
