Miflora plant sensor, no give data. Status unknown, on state website

garvarma · May 12, 2017, 10:41am

Hello to everyone,

I have a raspberry pi 3 running HA. Also i have a xiaomi plant sensor.

Yesterday for a period of time, i linked the miflora plant sensor wih BLE of raspberry using bluetoothctl and i watched values in HA state website. After that i restarted the raspberry.

Today i dunno why, when i see the values of miflora sensors in state website of HA says “unknown”.

If i see the bluetoothctl in the raspberry i see this:

[NEW] Controller B8:27:XX:XX:XX:XX raspberrypi [default]
[NEW] Device C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX Flower care
[CHG] Device C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX Connected: yes

[CHG] Device C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX Connected: yes
[CHG] Device C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX RSSI: -90

when i use the instruction:

[bluetooth]# info C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX

I have this result:

Device C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX
        Name: Flower care
        Alias: Flower care
        Paired: no
        Trusted: yes
        Blocked: no
        Connected: no
        LegacyPairing: no

Then i try to pair and i have this error:

[bluetooth]# pair C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX
Attempting to pair with C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.Failed

Someone has any idea about the problem? other solution?

thanks

Enable logging and check the log:

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.sensor.miflora: debug
    miflora.miflora_poller: debug

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply.

To enable logger, i need to do it in configuration.yaml file, really?

thanks

Hi,

Yes i see where to enable logger

Hello,

At the end the problem was on the device. I took out battery and put again. Then i configured bluetooth on raspberry pi (pari, trust and connect) and then i begin to have values in HA.

thanks

Hi guys

I have a similar issue and cannot find a solution for it…

I am trying to set up my Mi Floor Plant Sensors (working with Bluetooth LE). I tried like its described within the manual (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mitemp_bt/). According to this BLE should be enabled by default on the hass.io image. But I do not have hcitool or bluetoothctl available from command line in hass.io raspberry pi. Does anyone knows what I have to do to enable them?

Although the bluetooth tools mentioned where not available I was able to get the MAC address using BLE Scanner on Android. But if i put in the corresponding MAC to configuration.yml I do not get any updates/values from the sensor although it is within 2-3m from the raspberry pi. Is there anything else that I need to configure on either hass.io/raspberry pi/homeassistant?

sensor:
  - platform: miflora
    mac: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
    force_update: true
    monitored_conditions:
      - moisture
      - light
      - temperature
      - conductivity
      - battery

I would appreciate it if someone of you could help me on this.

Best & thx in advance,
mooonli

Yesterday, after 2 weeks of proper functioning, Hassio stopped receiving data from Miflora sensor
