> 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.
