I don’t see them active when scanning with a laptop, with the hcitool lescan command.
Additionally, my Wifi AP is scanning bluetooth devices and is reporting me when devices are disappearing and when they are showing up gain, this is how I’m detecting when a device is gone.
To answer to your questions, I’m using a RPI 3 running hassio to extract the data.
My first one works as usual, firmware is different though.
I will try to buy new batteries and swap them to see if it would change something, but
Hey guys, the thing is the units are not communicating at all.
I have another sensor that I bought a while before that batch of 3 that is still working. I can see it broadcasting messages.
I have tried to communicate with them from the Xiaomi app with my iPhone, less than 1 foot away, it is not working either.
I’m wondering if the units aren’t just dead. When I remove the batteries and replacing it in the compartment, the led doens’t even blink. I have metered the batteries, they are good (3v).
I’ve tried to contact the vendor on Aliexpress to see if there is any way to get them RMA. We will see.
Thanks for your help !
BTW, I will implement plantgateway so I could move my hassio to a more powerfull unit (the pi is a bit slow).
Yea, I noticed that duracell batteries drained super fast… I use now GP ones which seem to be working really well…
The other thing to remember when using the flowercare app is that some devices are for use in china mainland only and others are international version… This distinction does not impact at all BLE comms with things like HA or plantgateway as you are still able to retrieve the data… but bottom line is that I don’t really always trust the defaul miflora apps, rather make sure you have a good BLE sniffer…
