Daemon reads sensor moisture and conductivity as 0

[gianmarco-mameli]

Hi, I'm using this fantastic project to read 10 sensors on my garden and works like a charm (running on docker). Few days ago I found that a sensor seems having power problems on reading the values, so I've switched it with a spare, but the readings of Moisture and Conductivity are every loop at 0 (sometimes Moisture shows 1%. The sensor works well in app, only the daemon reads 0, the other values are correct.

Example log:

[2024-07-17 10:19:29] Retrieving data from sensor "Limone" ...
[2024-07-17 10:19:31] Result: {"light": 1743, "temperature": 29.3, "moisture": 0, "conductivity": 0, "battery": 100}
[2024-07-17 10:19:31] Publishing to MQTT topic "homeassistant/sensor/limone/state"

Any clue?

Thanks

Hey there! Thanks, happy to hear this is useful for you!

My first guess would have been a limitation of the underlying library, however, did I understand correctly that the library itself reads data just fine?

Hi @ThomDietrich , thanks for your reply. I admit that I opened that issue without having a closer look at your code, it uses miflora library and In fact is the library that get incorrect values. In my issue you mentioned, there's a little block of log, obtained calling the miflora library directly with a simple python code that shows a working sensor in app, getting moisture 1 and conductivity 0. As additional information the sensor with the incorrect values is the only from the total of ten that has a different starting mac address: 9 of them starts with C4:7C:8D the 10th starts with 80:EA:CA. I forgot to mention that in the library issue

Thanks

I see. In this case this issue indeed needs to be solved in the linked issue first. We can leave this one open until resolved.
