Hi,

these messages has been avoided with the current dev branch, you can download it if you want to confirm.

I suggest to test the dev branch and see if they still appears

63

Ok I started testing. Am I wrong or the discovery feature for mi Flora sensor is not there anymore?

64

With the dev branch you should have it.

65

I let the gateway on for all the afternoon after flash.

The old sensor (same MAC adress) are not populated anymore.

No new sensor have been discovered while it is present in mqtt log

66

And did you uncommented zmqttdiscovery in user_config.h ?

67

uhm, well. No.

OPS!

68

And all plants are back!

But I think there’s still something to fix.

Here’s a error example in the log:

Take maybe the last development version, I corrected the format of sensor values.

I have the same errors showing in 0.92.x, the following appears multiple times for various plant states:

Could you give the version of OMG used ?

72

Sorry OMG?

73

Openmqttgateway ; -)

74

Sorry I get mi flora data via ESPhome https://esphome.io/components/sensor/xiaomi_miflora.html?highlight=miflora

75

Not the good thread in this case : -)

76

But the error is the same?

77

Yes, and it has been corrected on the last OMG version.

78

Just integrated the Xiaomi clock, temperature and humidity sensor to OMG:
http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/cEYIxDVI

It is now working if you take the dev branch.

79

Hello,

Xiaomi scale v1 can now be read by Openmqttgateway on this test branch :
https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/tree/ble-scale?files=1

I have added also Xiaomi Scale V2 but I would like an owner to test the data reception of weight and impedance before merging the code.
Do we have the chance to have a V2 owner that would like to test OMG on an esp32 or arduino + hm10 ?

Hi folks
Can you guys recommend the best device to use with OMG for HA. I mostly use the BLE tracker for presence detection. This is working very well but will need to be restarted once a week or so. This can be annoying when I arrive home and my alarm doesn’t disarm.
I also have 6 mifloras that cause issues with HA running on my Pi 3b+, so I have stopped monitoring them for the moment.
I had planned on using a couple of ESP32 boards, but after reading through the thread, it seems like they might not be the most reliable.
I hope you guys can help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Do you mean what is the best board to choose ? Esp32, arduino +hm10 or esp8266 + hm10 ?

There was some issues with esp32 stability in the past but there was a lot of progress done. Mine keeps stable during one month without problem.
