Well, it is paired with my phone. So I shut down the bluetooth on my phone, but I still have the “No default controller available” when I try to pair it (or use scan on) in bluetoothctl.
Anyone got this working on a Pi Zero W?
I’m using plantgateway on a Pi Zero W to publish the value of six Xiaomi Mi sensors on a MQTT topic without issue and I have configured the Plant Monitor component to monitor the plants.
The only issue I’m facing is the display of the status of the plant. I’m only manage to get “ok” or “problem” and have to click to see what the problem is (e.g. conductivity low).

Could just create a really cheap automatic irrigation system…
Mi Flora reporting if water was needed and Aqualin watering automatically…

I added a comment in that another thread, here are some instruction how you can sniff the traffic with an Android phone: http://www.fte.com/WebHelp/BPA600/Content/Documentation/WhitePapers/BPA600/Encryption/GettingAndroidLinkKey/RetrievingHCIlog.htm
edit: to add, you can simply open the btsnoop_hci.log file directly with Wireshark with no need for conversions etc.
That would be cool!
Today I use a solenoid valve that opens when gets power and closes when power is removed. For that I just use a normal Z-wave switch for the outlet. So when I get a low threshold value from the Miflora HA turns that switch on.
But the Aqualin is cheaper than the switch and valve was.

Could not get data from 2sensor(s): Rihanna, otherplant.Well, I downloaded the apk for the app and replaced all urls to api.huahua…net with a adress to a local reverse proxy that logged all the requests.
From there I found my login data, can’t remember exactly what it was.
But when I tried to add a probe I got a error stating it was only doable in China…
Sadly I haven’t had any more time to look at this.
Hey there,
im new to the Hassio community =)
My Mi Flora wont get any updates in the Hassio UI…, all values are 0 or unknow.
so first i added
- platform: miflora mac: 'C4:7C:XX:XX:XX:XX' name: Pflanze1 median: 3 monitored_conditions: - moisture - light - temperature - conductivity - battery
to the configuration.yaml and restartet, so it showed up in the ui… no updates so far…
than i conneceted throu
gatttoool -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -I
connect
to the device:
so it retourned:
Connection successful
Notification handle = 0x0021 value: 00
Notification handle = 0x0021 value: 00
Notification handle = 0x0021 value: 00

it took about 4-5sek to spam the Notfication handle… and when i send the command Primary
i got

so any one an idea how i could fix that?
thanks budys =)
I have the same problem as friend
Any idea ?
For several releases my logs are filled with
Updating miflora sensor took longer than the scheduled update interval 0:00:30
Although everything works and values are reported correctly - is there any remedy for this?
I’ve been using MiFlora component with 5 sensors. They worked more or less ok before. After upgrading my RPi3 to Stretch and Python 3.5 since HASS 0.55.x, the component doesn’t update sensors which are not close enough to the RPi3 (literally 1-2 meeters). I use integrated bt module on RPi3.
I’ve noticed this too! Must be linked to BT drives though?
I think you need gatttool to work Mi Flora. My system was missing it, so I compiled it. Mi Flora plant sensor
the gatttool binary is part of the bluez package:
a simple
apt-get install bluez
should do the trick
edit: if it is already installed:
apt-get install --reinstall bluez
Yes, gatttool is a part of bluez, but my system was missing it. Reinstall does not add gatttool in my case.
Then the easiest way to get gatttool would be to download the package, unpack it (it’s just a gzipped archive containing two more archives) and copy gatttool from there to /usr/bin
plus I would file a bug report that gatttool is not being installed when installing the bluez package, because if the maintainer doesn’t know, he can’t fix it.
edit: the linked package is for ARM hard float (suitable for e.g. raspis)
