The ``xiaomi_miflora`` sensor platform lets you track the output of Xiaomi MiFlora Bluetooth Low Energy
devices using the :doc:`/components/esp32_ble_tracker`. This component will track the
temperature, humidity and optionally the battery level of the MiFlora device every time the sensor
2019-02-16 23:25:23 +01:00
sends out a BLE broadcast. Note that contrary to other implementations, ESPHome can track as many

MiFlora devices at once as you want.

Setting Up Devices
2018-08-24 22:44:01 +02:00
------------------
Before you can even scan for the MiFlora sensor, you need to activate it using the Flower Care app. Set it up there and you'll be able to discover it.
2019-02-16 23:25:23 +01:00
To set up Xiaomi MiFlora devices you first need to find their MAC Address so that ESPHome can
identify them. So first, create a simple configuration without any ``xiaomi_miflora`` entries like so:
.. code-block:: yaml
esp32_ble_tracker:
After uploading the ESP32 will immediately try to scan for BLE devices such as the Xiaomi MiFlora. When
it detects these sensors, it will automatically parse the BLE message print a message like this one:
.. code::
Xiaomi MiFlora 94:2B:FF:5C:91:61 Got temperature=23.4°C
Note that it can sometimes take some time for the first BLE broadcast to be received.
Then just copy the address (``94:2B:FF:5C:91:61``) into a new ``sensor.xiaomi_miflora`` platform entry like
in the configuration example at the top.
