The `miflora` sensor platform allows one to monitor to plants. The [Mi Flora plant sensor](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-Original-Xiaomi-Flora-Monitor-Digital-Plants-Flowers-Soil-Water-Light-Tester-Sensor-Monitor-for-Aquarium/32685750372.html) is a small Bluetooth Low Energy device that monitors not only the moisture, but also light, temperature and conductivity. As only a single BLE device can be polled at the same time, the library implements locking to make sure this is the case.
Start a scan to determine the MAC addresses of the sensor:
```bash
$ sudo hcitool lescan
LE Scan ...

C4:D3:8C:12:4C:57 Flower mate
[...]
```
Check for `Flower care` or `Flower mate` entries, those are your sensor.
To use your Mi Flora plant sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
