Hey everyone, I wanted to share a success story about my MiFlora sensors. A while back, I noticed that my sensors were acting up—they’d work for a bit, then suddenly stop. Frustrated, I did some digging and found a temporary fix: running a command to reset the Bluetooth module. But that was just a band-aid solution.
Then, I stumbled upon ESPHome and decided to give it a shot. I set up an ESP32 I had lying around and configured it as a MiFlora sensor. At first, it seemed like it wasn’t working—no data was coming through. But I didn’t give up!
After some research, I realized the issue was with the firmware version on my MiFlora. I upgraded it to the latest version, and voilà! The ESPHome setup started pulling data. It was a relief, but there was still one problem: the battery level wasn’t showing up. I waited, hoping it would update on its own, but nothing changed.
Determined to fix it, I tried reverting to the original MiFlora component in HomeAssistant. But it didn’t work either. I even restarted the Bluetooth service, but the issue persisted. Finally, I found a solution by modifying the Bluetooth service configuration to disable the SAP plugin. It was a bit technical, but it worked!
Now, my MiFlora sensors are up and running smoothly again. This experience taught me the importance of persistence and the value of community support. If anyone else is struggling with their sensors, I hope this story gives you the push to keep troubleshooting. Happy tinkering!
