Following some users requests on OpenMQTTGateway github I made some research and code to be able to read data from Mi Flora sensor also known as xiaomi flower sensor. The goal is to connect the mi flora to an mqtt compatible controller like openhab or home assistant with a simple arduino or esp8266 connected to an hm10/11 module. Mi flora use Bluetooth Low Energy technology to communicate to a smartphone. It gather on one sensor temperature, humidity, hygro and fertility measurement. These measures are available through an app on your smartphone so as to monitor your plants. As this device use BLE the idea was to be able to read the measures with OpenMqttgateway through the hm10 component. Some code and library are already available in python for the pi or equivalents. But not for arduino or esp8266. This is where it begins. With the current gateway version we were able to receive the mac adress of ble devices including the mi flora one. But not the dev...
