Hi,

first of all: great library! Thanks! Unfortunately, I am getting the error

$ python3 demo.py --backend bluepy poll "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
Getting data from Mi Flora
FW: 2.6.5
Name: Flower care
Traceback (most recent call last):

btlewrap.base.BluetoothBackendException: Could not read data from Mi Flora sensor XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Versions: Python v3.5.2 miflora v0.5 btlewrap v0.0.4 bluepy v1.3.0 Xubuntu v16.04.6 LTS

Searching for devices gave me 4 which is correct:

sudo python3 demo.py --backend bluepy scan
Scanning for 10 seconds...
Found 4 devices: [...]

3 (white, international version) of those 4 are working fine, having FW v2.7.0. The fourth device seems to be the chinese version (not white) running FW v2.6.5.

Do you have any idea why this doesn't work? (Even) the Mi Home android app is able to retrieve the data so the device seems functional ...

If you need more information, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Okay, solved! I've upgraded to firmware v3.1.9 (using the Flower Care android app) and voila:

Getting data from Mi Flora
FW: 3.1.9
Name: Flower care
Temperature: 16.2
Moisture: 17
Light: 336
Conductivity: 93
Battery: 99

:-)

Sorry for the noise!
