This library lets you read sensor data from a Xiaomi Mi Flora plant sensor.
It supports reading the different measurements from the sensor
- temperature
- moisture
- conductivity
- brightness
To use this library you will need a Bluetooth Low Energy dongle attached to your computer. You will also need a Xiaomi Mi Flora plant sensor.
As there is unfortunately no universally working Bluetooth Low Energy library for Python, the project currently offers support for two Bluetooth implementations:
- bluez tools (via a wrapper around gatttool)
- bluepy library
To use the bluez wrapper, you need to install the bluez tools on your machine. No additional python libraries are required.
Example to use the bluez/gatttool wrapper:
from miflora.miflora_poller import MiFloraPoller
from miflora.backends.gatttool import GatttoolBackend
poller = MiFloraPoller('some mac address', GatttoolBackend)To use the bluepy library you have to install it on your machine, in most cases this can be done via:
pip3 install bluepy
Example to use the bluez/gatttool wrapper:
from miflora.miflora_poller import MiFloraPoller
from miflora.backends.bluepy import BluepyBackend
poller = MiFloraPoller('some mac address', BluepyBackend)please have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md
