    median: 5

      - moisture
      - light
      - temperature
      - conductivity
      - battery

Platform:

It does look wrong if your screenshot is taken in daylight/lights on.
In any case, they are simply not that accurate at very low light levels.
But usually a good idea to update to newest MiFlora firmware.

Can you help me to identify firmware version and how to update it?

I installed on smartphone Flower Care APP:

  • version is 3.2.4
  • illuminating with the torch, the lux go up

Evidently my house (indoor) is too dark, especially in this period not to be detected by the sensors
