This is a teardown and analysis of the Xiaomi flower/plant monitor (it doesn't seem to have an official name). It is not extremely in-depth because the main goal was to figure out how to use the device without the official app.

Xiaomi Flora is a Bluetooth Low Energy device that monitors the environment of a plant.

It measures:

• Sunlight intensity
• Air temperature
• Soil moisture
• Soil fertility (via electrical conductivity)
