#miflora — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday the #weedlings got Fitbits (ok, #miflora, but they don't know the difference) and I spent a bunch of time arguing with a plant API instead of just inputting my decent-enough values from last time.

Part of the arguing involved removing the old devices. A smart person would have saved the thresholds, but I'm not that person. Doh!

Pics tomorrowish when I get back to it and build the dash.

Today was supposed to be offline, so I spent it integrating #calico and #k3s and #linkerd and such in the new #homelab. I .. am bad at not being burnt out.

Some good news. Changes involved a cluster CIDR change, so I had to reset from zero. Thank FSM for flux2. I expected pain and it basically Just Worked.

@utopify_org Oh, and in another mix of tech and gardening, my other project right now is getting bluetooth proxies working in #HomeAssistant, so I can reliably get alerts when my various indoor plants need watering / fertilizer / more or less light via a large stack of #MiFlora sensors.

These things are fantastic... when they're in range! No more guessing if plants are dying because of water/fertilizer/light levels! 🥰

Hoping someone might have a thought or two on the easiest way to set up a #bluetooth to #wifi bridge/extender for @homeassistant with an #ESP32 S.

How would you recommend someone who's never used an ESP32 before go about it?

Essentially I have a couple lying around, and want to extend the range of my #Miflora devices in #HomeAssistant, so I can see how my plants are doing.

Also, if I do this, am I likely to be able to see battery levels in my Miflora devices?

Thanks y'all!
