Domoticz

Posted: **Monday 26 April 2021 21:51**

I will repeat the question stated in some post above - does this plugin work with Domoticz installed on Windows?

Does not look so according the library issue where this plugin is based on: https://github.com/basnijholt/miflora/issues/51

Posted: **Tuesday 27 April 2021 8:34**

But this is about different plugin than the one for Domoticz?
Or both use the same code?

I'm not an IT guy, so I my understanding about interconnections between those two is just so-so

This is the Python library were the plugin is based on, see the thanks note in
https://github.com/flatsiedatsie/Mi_Flower_mate_plugin

So the plugin is a wrapper around this library. If the library is not windows compatible the plugin probably is also not.

New Icons for this plugin.

This plugin works with all sensors that have 'flower mate' or 'flower care' in there name (when bluetooth scanned, or that have C4:7C:8D: in BT mac address prefix), thus not only Xiaomi sensors.

Hi all, I've successfully could plugged my Flower Mate device to my Domoticz server, it works perfectly fine: the script I have set up retrieves the information from the sensor every hour. (for those who are facing power connection problems due to distance: I'm using 3,5v rechargeable battery, works great!).

Now, I have a question: wouldn't be possible to retrieve the data history from the device to the Domoticz DB as the Xiami App does from the device to the smartphone App? In that case, this would save battery power in one fell swoop while achieving a much finer granularity of data.

Hi,

I'm facing a strange behavior when a sensor came out of scope. The plugin's thread seems to last very long (even after detecting a scan error) and all other Python threads seem to end unexpectedly during heartbeat execution (including Xiaomi Mi Flower Mate plugin itself). All return to normal after the end of the erroneous scan process. Until the next time.
Is there a way to stop the scan process after the initial

Flower Sensors: (Flower Sensors) poller error

?

Hello,

I'd like to display temperature graph I got from my Xiaomi Mi Flower Mate with a customised period range, but I get problem in displaying data:
- When I used default configuration, data are correctly displayed:

- When I configure CONFIG.js, data with a day range can be displayed, but not with month range.

here is an extract of CONFIG.js:

Spoiler: show: blocks['lux'] = {
title: 'Tomate 15: lumière',
debugButton: true,
graph: 'line',
lineTension: 0.3,
datasetColors: ['yellow'],
devices: [15],
legend: { 'd.lux_15': 'lux'},
legend: true,
height: '200px',
custom : {
"12h": {range: 'day' , filter: '12 hours', data: {lux: 'd.lux_15'},},
"12h(moy)" : {range: 'last' , groupBy: 'hour', filter: '12 hours', data: {lux: 'd.lux_15'},},
"7j": {range: 'month', filter: '7 days', data: {lux: 'd.lux_15'},},
"Par semaine": {range: 'month', groupBy: 'week', data: {lux: 'd.lux_15'},},
"année": {range: 'year' , groupBy: 'month', data: {lux: 'd.lux_15'},}

}

I've investigated in the database and I see that monthly data for temperature are stored in 'MultiMeter_Calendar' table. I think it should be stored in 'Meter_Calendar' table (no data for my 15 idx device)

How I can correct this? thank you

Hi! This plugin works great. After a few months my batteries are running low (<15%) and now I'm getting a push notification twice a day. Since the devices are split into four seperate devices and it's being pushed as a priority, PushOver makes quite some noise as if all hell broke loose. I'm not sure whether I set these notification up myself, or if it's a setting in Domoticz or in the plugin.

I'd like to turn off the battery notifications for de Mi Flower, how can I do this?

Posted: **Thursday 09 September 2021 13:05**

Battery level Notifications is an application setting, not per device/hardware. See https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Applicati ... r_Settings

The only other thing you could do is switch off battery level notifications completely and do a Battery level script in for example dzVents for only those devices you want a notification on. There should be examples here to be found. Edit: tada: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Battery_level_check

Temporarely you can lower the level in settings to get rid of the current notifications until that lower level has been reached (or you change the batteries

)

After some research, and the same issue with other python plugins that keep waiting for a response, it seems to be inherent in how the used libraries handle waiting for said response, or rather not responding.

In this specific case, the time for the time-out to be reached while waiting for the non-response of the sensor the other "threads" of the python plugins cannot be executed and crash. Until the function wants to return control ...

Hello All,

I am trying to get the Flower Mate plugin working again with my two Flower Mates. Plugin is installed, the distance between the RPI and the Flower Mates is less than one meter. When i scan for the Flower Mates using

Code: Select all

hcitool lescan

, they are found. MAC-adresses are correctly entered. But when i try to start the plugin in Domoticz, this happens:

I got the plugin working initially.
(After replacing my +10 year old BT dongle from the old stuff drawer that probably never has heard about Bluetooth LE with a modern one)
Encouraged by this success, I got to work on my Xiaomi temperature and humidity sensors (with the custom ATC firmware).
Got those to work too!
At which point the Flower Mate stopped working...

I would guess the BT system is somehow claimed / locked by the script for the other sensors?
I reduced the polling interval for the Xiaomi TH sensors to ten minutes in crontab to minimise the chance of the plugin and the script requesting Bluetooth at the same time and make sure to issue the switch command in between the interval.

Does anyone recognise this behaviour and know a solution?

Posted: **Saturday 26 November 2022 12:34**

After a bit of fiddling to make sure the script and the plugin don't try to use Bluetooth at the same time, it's working.

Dear all,
I have been trying to get the xiaomi flower sensors working for quite some time, but have been unable to. The plugin doesn't seem to work due to polling errors. The script didn't seem to work with python v 3 9, had to change base64 .encodestring() to base64 .encodebytes(). I am not a programmer, so I hope I got that right.. After this edit the script runs and prints:
1: Plant
connect to C4:7C:8D:xx:xx:xx: Connection refused (111)

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Help would be much appreciated.

Posted: **Thursday 09 March 2023 11:23**

I gave up on the plugin long time ago. I have 18 sensors running 4 years with the script.

If anyone else is still struggling, this might help.
In my case there is a problem with the driver for the Realtek RTL8761 Bluetooth module that is used in a lot of Bluetooth dongles.
For me the solution was to install new firmware with rpi-update.
You'll have to do this again after an update upgrades your kernel.
