Looks great, a pity that Athom have not fixed BLE yet on HP23 and that the Dashboards are not scrollable by swipe. But looks awesome ! 👍

Have a look at the Insights, maybe they report some times zero and some times the real value, see an earlier post:

> This behaviour I have also seen, for some time the output is zero and after a time, the measured values are presented again, see the screenshot from my two devices: As a workaround I use this: When a value changes, I copy the value to a variable, but only when the value is higher then zero, this way the output is usable.

Thanks JPe4619 in my insight for now I see only one value and that was when I added them to Homey. Ik wil check it if it updates the coming days.  
When I only update one of the sensors they also don’t licht up .  
Perhaps it is an blue tooth thing from Homey

Even afkloppen maar vandaag komen er eindelijk wat waarden binnen via Homey.  
Ik heb niets veranderd ook geen planten of sensoren verplaatst rara politiepet.

I have been trying to use these for a year with my HP23, now giving up since I can simply not rely on them. My HP23 does an automated weekly reboot, and it seems like that is the only time when the sensor data actually gets updated.

Can’t believe the Athom is not fixing Bluetooth on the HP23. On the other side, for me Bluetooth simply shouldn’t be used in Smart Homes anyways, nothing but trouble. Now considering using [these](https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007443398328.html) with Homey over zigbee2mqtt.

If anybody in Switzerland wants to give these a try let me know. I have two pieces and the only cost would be the shipping.

I have similar experience, but even random one - eg. not every reboot helps.

I’m till today not sure how many users are impacted, to me it seems it’s maybe working fine for some… which is even stranger.

Zigbee or Tuya ? It looks very interesting and really cheap !

I am going for the Zigbee version, as far as I understand the Tuya version is Bluetooth, which I obviously want to avoid. I have them ordered but they did not arrive yet.

I don’t think these are directly supported by any Homey App, but I recently got myself zigbee2mqtt up and running [which supports these](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0601_soil_3.html). Athom is not able to keep up with adding zigbee devices, so I now use zigbee2mqtt for all the devices Athom can not support directly yet.

Thanks for the info, I’ll try once I got them, but I think the ones you linked are [these](https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004946534048.html).

And also a huge THANK YOU to @Koktail for this awesome app. I am fully aware that none of the issues I am having are caused by your work!

@Koktail Using your app for a long time, love your app!

Thanks for the error card option a while ago, testing with it getting me a lot of errors probably connection ones I guess.

Reading on some other theads that bluetooth on the Homey pro 2023 is not working solid. Is buying a Homey Bridge the solution to the bluetooth range homey error and will your app (and athom) support that?

I’ve just asked what the status is of the bridge as Sat with the “Ble signal forwarder” role:

I guess the Ble implementation of the bridge is inherited from the Pro 2019 series, and I can tell the Ble of that model was sort of “nice”. Not splendid, but it didn’t need Homey reboots or such.

Hello,

I’m unable to connect Xiami mi flora care max to Homey Pro2023. It says: No new devices found.

- I added the device to Flower Care to get latest update
- I disconnect the bluetooth from the phone, so device isnt connected with 2 devices.
- I _do_ see the device with bluetooth in Developer Tools.
- I restarted the app
- I rebooted Homey

What am I missing? If I connect the device to my phone, it is instantly recognized.

Edit: it does recognize Mi flora flower care 1, that is not the product which says is delivered by [bol.com](http://bol.com)

The app?  
Because you don’t mention it: You probably have to install the Xiaomi Mi Flora app first, this app claims to support the ‘Xiaomi mi flora care max’:

> [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Xiaomi mi flora sensor/ropot app](https://community.homey.app/t/45):
>
> Xiaomi mi flora sensor/ropot app This app integrate the Xiaomi mi flora sensor and Xiaomi mi flora ropot into Homey. [image] Keep in mind: For an optimal signal strength keep the sensor within a close distance of Homey. Always download the original Xiaomi Mi Flora app and add the devices to the app. This automatically updates the sensor’s firmware to the latest version. Support Do you like the app?

Hello,

I ordered EAN 6970254420067, which says Flower Care Max.

On the packaging, they put a new sticker over an old sticker.

 ![IMG_20250302_104243_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/86e396f84e70ed395b9c3c92ffb5fe29da1a9e85.jpeg)

Did they put the wrong sticker on the wrong product?

Just to double check the obvious: did you select the ‘max’ version of the device when adding it to your Homey?

That’s the thing.

It wont recognize the max (it says no device found).

It only detect flower care 1.

Yea, im pretty sure they put the wrong sticker on it. If you search on the barcode below the new sticker, you get a different product.

Most probably, the number below the sticker is pointing to EAN 6970254420012 - [Flower Care Smart Plant Monitor Official European Version Real Time Sensors for Soil Fertility Humidity Level Light Temperature iOS and Android App: Amazon.de: Garden](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Official-European-Fertility-Humidity-Temperature/dp/B01MUDQD8I)

No, it doesn’t work that good for me.

The distance to the Homey is too big. And the Bridge doenst cover bluetooth in sattelite mode.  
I hoped the Bridge would use (extend) bluetooth, but I misunderstood apparently.

Besides that, my living room is probably too big (+/- 70m2) to cover Bluetooth anyway, so thats not a product failure.

I’m thinking of returning it, and get something on Wifi like:
