Could try the antenna mod. Diane can’t be solved by altering software as far as I know. ---

I Bought today two Mi Flora devices but Homey can not find them. First updated firmware in Flower Care App. Then removed them en tried to add them to Homey. ---

What is is fw version, you upgraded to? I have 3.2.2… Also you are on Homey v5, right? ---

Firmware version I upgraded today is 3.3.1. Homey is indeed v5. After several attempts I managed to connect. Put sensor on top of my Homey. Wat is de best time-out interval. 15 min is default but once a day should be enough. ---

> [@Etsnake](#): > > I have problems with miflora distance with homey. What distance you have problems with? Try to be a little specific… I’ve 3 flora sensors 5 mtrs from Homey. 2 sensors “in line of sight” and one behind a lounge chair. 5mtrs is pretty far for Bluetooth range. Keep in mind that Zigbee and 2,4GHz wifi operate within the same frequency range as BT. Maybe you should tune that a bit ---

I used to have 30min but I shortened it to 15min - because not every attempt is successful. Btw, fw 3.3.1 ? You got it offered in Flower Care app ? In my case it shows latest 3.2.2 … ---

I have 2 mi flora sensors, i don’t think they report the right values. I placed the in same soil just next to each other, and the values is different. Temperature is on the one the same. ![Screenshot_20210417_062505_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c440dd77d22c8a0631f575ceae4d6199b50b41a7.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210417_062500_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/9/b90873d9310a0a7ddb34ecf0e9eb059822c9f132.jpeg) Any idea how to fix? ---

Have you compared the values when the sticks are connected to the flower app? ---

Not sure if it will help, but actually something related to the Luminance has been fixed in the most recent version ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2ca10e5c4313e9161e8d51822512d1307e083635.png) ---

Btw, if you are on experimental v6 RC version, now you can check even some details about your Flora devices… [Homey Developer](https://developer.athom.com/tools/ble), eg. RSSI - " RSSI or this signal value is measured in decibels from 0 (zero) to -120 (minus 120). The closer the value to 0 (zero), the stronger the signal will be.[[2]](https://www.speedcheck.org/wiki/rssi/#fn2) With this, the common spot for neighboring nodes is between -55 (minus 55) and -65 (minus 65). An RSSI of -55 (minus 55) is a stronger signal than -70 (minus 70)." or maybe directly relevant information for BLE - [rssi [Bluetooth® LE Wiki]](https://www.bluetoothle.wiki/rssi) ---

Unfortunately updating sensors is not part of the homey apps. You stil need extra software to update outside homey, still sucks. And again several connection issues after each update ---
