I'm getting an error on a Pi 4, i could however run it manually yesterday but not today. nothing changed in between.

Code: Select all

While on a Pi 3b it works:

From today the RPIEasy has a new experimental plugin for Mi Flora support. (Either with Domoticz MQTT/HTTP method)

Does it work stable?
How do You connect to Domoticz? Over MQTT?

Thanks,

Thanks,

I am using it since a week continously with 5 minutes interval. I am monitoring moisture with Domoticz, and until now, i did not find any problem.
Either HTTP or MQTT is selectable in the webGUI of RPIEasy.

I have a problem with one sensor that I have for over 1 year.
I have an empty history for some time and I cannot synchronize data.
Sync progress goes, but finally I get the message "sync failed ..."
I replaced the battery - it didn't help.

Real-time data work fine.

I found some information how the data is exchanged:

Anyone know how to manually clean the sensor memory?

With rasp bulsseye and python 3.9 the script is not working.
Download and install python 3.7 and start it with this extra python installation like: /home/tonbor/Python-3.7.13/python /home/tonbor/domoticz/scripts/python/miflora/domoticz.py
and it is working (again).
Got 18 sensors all working with domoticz
