Running
Due to Bluetooth access, Homebridge must run with elevated privileges to work correctly i.e. sudo or root.
Note
The plugins is using Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) to connect to the Xiaomi Flower Care devices. Therefore, the first measured values are only visible after the first broadcast of the sensor. Up to this point the plugin is marked as inactive in HomeKit. In the worst case, the waiting time can last up to several minutes. Just have a little patience.
