Great, it seems to be working now and I’m getting data back. I’ll let you know if I still get any crazy results though

you updated to 38.1?

103

I updated to 38.1 then changed the miflora_poller file to the code linked above

104

@baz_12312 @anon35356645
Is the latest version of the modified code working for you ?

105

Hi, so far so good. No spikes as of yet at least. Although I have noticed that over night the light sensor reports weird values. It seems to vary between 0 and about 20. That could well be the sensor itself though I suppose

@Danielhiversen
Since I put your code is not working.

I upgraded to 38.1 and not working, after changed to your latest code and still not working.

No data displayed

107

Any errors in the log?
Is the component working with default code (without my changes) ?

108

Upgrading to 38.1 did not over write your code?

109

Do not think so.

110

Ahh

Well so is still your code.
No error in log

111

This is what I mean about the odd light sensor readings. It seems to be in the same constant range all night, then a random spike to 400 at about 16:00

Hi, huge fan and I just ordered four sticks :slight_smile:

A couple of questions if someone can help out:

  1. When using multiple mi flora sticks, is there any other issue then that it takes time a bit extra time until all data are collected? (read something about locking…)
  2. I read something about using Razberry 2 disables bluetooth on the PI3, anyone know the case?
  3. Would it be possible using PI3 to setup another bluetooth USB adaptor, so it does not interfere with the tracker?
  4. IF there are issues, is that the case if you use a Z-wave usb stick like Aeon Labs 5gen (in conjunction with either PI3 bluetooth, or a separate bluetooth usb dongle)?
118

I can’t get it working anymore. How do you connect it to the HASS (I have mine on a pi3 with bluetooth, but is not picking any bluetooth signel from the miflora).

  1. Yes, correct. I have several sensors and it is working fine.

3, Yes, from the latest release you can specify which Bluetooth adapter to use for each miflora device

From release 0.39 of HA the will be more failure check of the data: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6142
So it should be less change of getting invalid data from the sensors.
