not syncing plant

[warlordattack]

hello i have 3 mi flower plants

Xiaomi BLE gives data for all 3 plants, but plant monitor do not give data for one of them : pl-rosa-marie (this plant is on the balcony far from bluetooth reciever, but it gives data sometimes in Xiaomi BLE, but never in Plant Monitor)

how can i debug this please ?

Xiaomi BLE : OK

If you look at the Attributes for the pl-rosa-marie sensors - what do they list as their "External sensor"?

This should point to the entity_id of the matching fl-rosa-marie sensor. If not, you can use the "Replace sensor" service call (available from devleoper tools) to set the correct external sensor.

great i will try this

Thanks! I had the same issue and this resolved the issue for me.

@warlordattack Did you get it to work?

[warlordattack]

hello, i deleted and re created both Xiaomi BLE then Plant Monitor for fl-rosa-marie and pl-rosa-marie some sensors are now OK on pl-rosa-marie but, for mosture it took (i don't know how) an old non existant sensor :

so now : -conductivity + temperature : OK -illuminance + soil moisture : NOK uses old deleted sensors

what a mess :)

Xiaomi BLE (fl-rosa-marie) is OK : all sensors give data, but Plant Monitor (pl-rosa-marie) re-created and attached to fl-rosa-matie took some old deleted sensors when re-creating pl-rosa-marie, attaching sensors i verified twice and took good sensors from fl-rosa-marie but when he created pl-rosa-marie, there was no data for illuminance + soil moisture, and bad sensors were attached :)

when i add integration, i always rename new devices to have nice names

[m-gustafsson]

Deleting and re-creating doesn't necessarily solve the issue, you still have to call the service to replace the wrong sensors.

[warlordattack]

ok problem fixed thank you :)

[Olen]

I still don't understand what happened here. The integration don't choose sensors by itself. If you migrate from yaml, it uses the same sensors you have defined there. If you add a plant manually in the gui, you select what sensors you want to use. If anything other than that happens, I would really like to know what it is.

Please explain in more detail, including any relevant yaml config, and show me the attributes from the sensors (under the plant device) that give you problems.
