After 3 years of being successfully connected to my Homey Pro 2023 and its predecessor, my five Mi Flora sensors have suddenly become unreachable. What should I do to reconnect them? I have restarted the app, restarted the Homey, and replaced the batteries. The Mi Flora plant app still communicates with four out of the five sensors, but Homey hasn’t been able to connect to any of them for 8 days now… ---

Are you guys using a satellite for BLE? We did not make any changes for BLE in 12.4.5 so I’m wondering what is causing this. ---

@TheoVerriet@Tom_Koole@Dowie , can you comment whether you are using Homey Bridge as BLE sattelite ? Maybe if someone from Athom is reading here along, you might want to consider sharing your System Debug ID from [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/system) @meerlol , I do but you already know that maybe , could be exception also it depends if those Flora would be connecting actually via the bridge itself or not. ---

I’m using the Homey Pro 2023 as receiver for the sensors. For three years in a row, I had little to no issues until suddenly everything stopped working 14 days ago. 🥺 ---

I followed sharkys advice from 8 days back and installed the experimental MiFlora app v 4.4.4. ([Xiaomi Mi Flora | Homey](https://homey.app/en-cz/app/com.mi.flora/Xiaomi-Mi-Flora/test/)) and use the new setting: “update sensor values based on advertised service data”. That solved my issue. ---

No I’m not. The sensors are a few meters away (in visible sight) from Homey. Strange thing is that it started at the moment Homey had updated the firmware, but I was able to solve the issue by updating the mi flora app to the experimental version 4.4.4 and using the new setting “update sensor values based on advertised service data”. I have no idea what it does, but the sensors work again. ---

The max interval changed,I was using 120 to save batteries, now it is 60 max. Can this be corrected? [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/mi-flora-connection-has-been-down-for-8-days-what-can-i-do/137197.md?page=2)
