Xiaomi MiFlora BLE Sensor

:keywords: Xiaomi, Mi Flora, BLE, Bluetooth
The ``xiaomi_miflora`` sensor platform lets you track the output of Xiaomi MiFlora Bluetooth Low Energy
devices using the :doc:`/esphomeyaml/components/esp32_ble_tracker`. This component will track the
temperature, humidity and optionally the battery level of the MiFlora device every time the sensor
sends out a BLE broadcast. Note that contrary to other implementations, esphomelib can track as many
MiFlora devices at once as you want.
.. code:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
esp32_ble_tracker:
sensor:
- platform: xiaomi_miflora
mac_address: 94:2B:FF:5C:91:61
temperature:
name: "Xiaomi MiFlora Temperature"
moisture:
name: "Xiaomi MiFlora Moisture"
illuminance:
name: "Xiaomi MiFlora Illuminance"
conductivity:
name: "Xiaomi MiFlora Soil Conductivity"
battery_level:
name: "Xiaomi MiFlora Battery Level"
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **mac_address** (**Required**, MAC Address): The MAC address of the Xiaomi MiFlora device.
- **temperature** (*Optional*): The information for the temperature sensor.

- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
- **moisture** (*Optional*): The information for the moisture sensor
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the moisture sensor.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
- **illuminance** (*Optional*): The information for the illuminance sensor
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the illuminance sensor.

- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
- **battery_level** (*Optional*): The information for the battery level sensor
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for the humidity sensor.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor for use in lambdas.
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.
Setting Up Devices
------------------
To set up Xiaomi MiFlora devices you first need to find their MAC Address so that esphomelib can
identify them. So first, create a simple configuration without any ``xiaomi_miflora`` entries like so:
.. code:: 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.
