Xiaomi Mi Flora [Temp/Light/Moisture] BLE Sensor

[burton666]

I found this Plant-sensor on aliexpress and it looked rally great had alot of features and was pretty ceap (~10$)

It uses BLE and you are supposed to use Xiaomi's crappy app but I just found this page where some person had decoded the "protocol"

Is there some chance to integrate this into domoticz? and how would I add an Bluetooth reciever to be able to recieve those "messages"

[Keptenkurk]

I've been doing a kind of "integration" like this with a BLE bathroom scale here.
It's a python script talking to the BT dongle and updating a virtual sensor in Domoticz.
So yes: there is a chance getting the data into Domoticz but not with a few mouseclicks...

Mi product are good, but They don't Provid any API or source to let them add to a home automation (éven sometime some home automation MI product aren't usable each other)

And rememebre That Mi mark is China only, no support for their product in Europe.

Just order one MI Flora, with Scale exemple this be done (but not easly)

Subscribe. Any progress on this? For the price (10$) It is even hard to build your own esp8266 temp/light/moisture sensor.

Hello,
I saw on another forum it was possible to recover data from xiaomi Flower Plant via BLE !

do you think it was possible to integrate this Flower Plant to domoticz ???
Thank you

[jadon]

Just ordered the Mi Flora. When it arrives, I'll try to work something out with the github scripts

[lepetitnicolas]

I also ordered a device. But I'm no computer programming and I would need your help.

I'm interested in how well this works detecting moisture, anyone got theirs yet?

[Deluka]

Really would love to see this in domoticz
I'm still testing a Xiaomi Mi Flora but next to a Parrot the values are almost the same
No dead plants yet

seems a little modification in the script from the above github account could send it to domoticz via the json api

But how can domoticz handle the BT LE? With another dongle? Or with mysensors?

Maybe with rflink and BLE aviability

Hope there is a json option possible for the nice other products.....

Do have a motion and a pir from xiaomi.... [ will send to to a developer for free ]
Real nice and small design....

[lepetitnicolas]

the Xiaomi Mi Smart Home use the protocol zigbee like philips Hue ...
I wrote on the RFlink forum (and give money) to ask the developer to integrate these objects to RFlink

The Mi Flora is using Bluetooth LE, not Zigbee..
The other Mi items.. probably Zigbee but how open/standard it is needs to be tested.

You may find here some information to use Bluetooth low energy with raspberry.

Do you have plans to support Mi Flora? (I've noticed there's an initial sniffing for BT LE).

[Stuntteam]

Yes..
