I do have a homey bridge as satellite but I don’t remember anything about ble through the satellite. Is this configurable? ---

When using advertisement, it reads what Xiaomi send in regular intervals, every 5 min - there is no way how to influence that client side behavior on Honey side. Please set the interval to 5 - 15 min to check if that’s make any difference. ---

I saw another fix with 12.4.9 I will give it a try and disable that new option in the app, because the flows are triggering now a lot and get disabled by homey. Specially with the light sensor. ---

In my case the 12.4.8 firmware version solved the auto disabling of flows by Homey, when using the BLE advertisement option, due to too many triggers related to plant sensor updates. So now I can actually use the BLE advertisement option. ---

I’ve tried 12.4.9 still fails with the “old” way, pinging the devices on every interval. BLE advertisement still disables the flows on my homey. ☹ ---

I haven’t read the whole thread… but I reported an issue where an app would not “find” the BLE device when no discovery is done before. This is fixed in FW 12.5.0 (currently RC - in test). > **[Homey Pro (Early 2023) and Homey Pro mini Changelog](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-firmware-changelog/)** ---

That’s unfortunate. You might want to ask your question/report your issue in the dedicated forum topic for the plant sensor app: [[APP][Pro] Xiaomi mi flora sensor/ropot app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-xiaomi-mi-flora-sensor-ropot-app/45).
