Reply To: Tip: Integrate Xiaomi Mi Flora Plant Sensor

[Thomas Thaler]

In OpenSprinkler you simply set up an MQTT sensor and link it to the topic “miflora/<sensor name>”,

I was hoping that after configuring the MQTT broker settings, somewhere in the OSPI UI there would be a way to integrate the MiFlora sensor set up above into the OS. Unfortunately, I didn't find any entries about this and I didn't find any instructions anywhere that explain how to integrate MQTT sensor data into the OS and make it visible and usable in the UI.

The sonsor is successfully recognized by the miflora-mqtt-daemon.

Thanks for the feedback, as I now have the sensors and would like to integrate them into OSPI
Best regards
