Has anybody an advice how to increase the range of the mi flora sensors within the homey system and that app? some kind of BLE Repeater based on raspberry or any xiaomi devices ? I know from MqTT bridges to WLAN etc. but using them I cannot use this app and its flows anymore, or can I ? Thanks ---

The ble antenna is the same as the WiFi antenna inside of Homey. You could replace this by doing a antenna mod (search forum for this) but it isnā€™t for the faint hearted. ---

I have a moisture value that doesnā€™t update. It has been silent for 3 days now. I added the sensor to the flora app and it says 33% moisture level (see attachement) The rest of the values are updating just fine (see attachement) Any idea what it could be? ![Screenshot_20210907-101926_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/8/3860db7610e5452f2ccd84dc5ea915f2c834e16c.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210907-101525_Flower Care](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/8/e85743d10f226ce1c6b16fb2b2d0d9f0991e643d.jpeg) Edit: pulled the battery, blew some compressed air through it, smacked it around and now its updating again.

My mi flora stopped updating the sensor values in Homey. Retrieving the values through a flow leads to an error. In the mi flora app it takes ages for the values to return, still works though. Does anyone else have the same issue? ---

@Hermano Had it once so far. What can helps is. Remove it from the plant and remove the battery for 5 minutes. and then put the battery back in. Then wait until Homey returns to zero. Then you can put it back in the flowers that worked for me. ---

> [@Koktail](#): > > migrate capabilities to correct homey syntax Hey Leendert, I just discovered double capabilities in Insights. Can it be related with the migration of nutrition (ā€œVoedingā€) and moisture (ā€œVochtigheidā€) capabilities? ![Screenshot_20211006-134629_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/d/ad798b50be50499b773e4cbf25b58eafbff622fa.jpeg) You can see the recording of the "earlierā€™ capabilities stop, and the migrated capabilities start recording at around July. ![Screenshot_20211006-153556_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/9/f92f4b133bf4183a4999c883b3682abd0eca8e4a.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20211006-153616_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/5/d597bf7d77e4c544fe44f4b4e896521fe2fa21ed.jpeg) Itā€™s not a ā€˜biggieā€™, I think itā€™s an Insights only thing.

> [@Koktail](#): > > I think your devices still have the old capability. If Iā€™m right, a new capability is added in device.onInit( ) with addCapability(). That doesnā€™t remove the old one. This will stay until the device is deleted. New added devices only have the new capability. So it seems you have re-added the device and @Peter_Kawa kept the device. You could remove old capabilities with removeCapability( ) in onInit( ) to clear the devices. If the new app cersion starts, all old capabilities would be removed for all users. Edit: Ceck with hasCapability( ) before add/remove to avoid exceptions. But you surely have the check already in your code for adding the new capability. ---

Hi Koktail I have around 30 Plant Sensors, most of them I can reach via Homey BLWE directly But there are some I canā€™t reach and have to mange the plants otherwise What do you think of an enhancement of your app for range extension via MqTT, so that plant data which is not reachable direct via BLE can be integrated via MQTT. Exentension could be done with: [GitHub - ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon: Linux service to collect and transfer Xiaomi Mi Flora plant sensor data via MQTT to your smart home system, with cluster support šŸŒ±šŸŒ¼šŸ„€šŸ”šŸŒ³](https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon) and a simple raspberry You can get the data from an MQTT Broker (this could be Homey) and the script above is sending the flora plant data to it. Would be great if this data can be integrated in your app, too . I am willing to support that extension with a donation šŸ˜‰ maybe others, too. What do you think ? ---

Hello, I already did itā€¦using an ESP32 and some code from GitHub. Set yout BT-Macs of your plant sensors and the IP/user/pw of your MQTT broker and the ESP will read your sensors and push the data to your broker. Then you can import it with Mqtt client or hub.
