Thank you for the proposal.

This is somewhat redundant to existing tools that do exactly this.

Why should we do it in the miflora library?

yolkhovyy commented 4 years ago

I agree the library is not the best place indeed.

Hello @yolkhovyy, seems like you are doing something very similar to what we've done over in https://github.com/ThomDietrich/miflora-mqtt-daemon Would be interested to know if you missed something or want to contribute a feature. Best!

Hi @ThomDietrich, the MiFlora/MQTT code I made is quite old - I am using it to collect MiFlora metrics in my wife's greenhouse for some time. Recently I cleaned the code up and thought it might have been interesting for other people - was not aware there were off-the-shelf alternatives. I will check the miflora-mqtt-daemon out certainly. I saw (if I am not mistaken) it has nice things that I would like to have too - like configuration and discovery. Thanks a lot for pointing me at the daemon!
