Raspberry PI as proxy for Mi Flora

Configuration
1

I’m running HA in a VM on my Proxmox server. There is no bluetooth there and I want to deploy Mi Flora sensors that obviously rely on BLE. I have a spare Raspberry PI and I’m thinking I can use it as a proxy somehow.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do so?

Thanks!

Use Plantgateway by ChristianKuehnel

Works great. It pulls data from the sensors by BLE and sends the data to a MQTT broker. I run a similar setup (HA in a container without bluetooth).

MiFlora --> RPi --> MQTT broker --> HA
