Hi. Do you have an idea how to increase BT range in Homey Pro ?? I have Flower Care sensors in front of and behind the house and Homey Pro cannot read them all. Is Homey Bridge able to extend the range of Homey Pro ??

Homey bridge can “extend” the range, you’ll have to use webhooks to get the data to your Pro. I mean, they are 2 completely separate devices, but they can send/receive webhooks to eachother fine.

Cheap option:

> Hello, I already did it…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. Not into your current devices, but into virtual sensors or hub devices Sorry, only german. Just ask if you need some help.

Sorry Peter,  
The Mi Flora app is only available for Homey Pro, not the Bridge… ☹  
But perhaps your other suggestions might help!
