Trouble finding MAC address of Northfifteen version of Plant monitor

[miguelarios]

I bought this version of a plant monitor as someone said in the reviews that they were using it with home assistant. Northfifteen Connected Home Plant Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L491F8K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YrCKEbJZX2SAE

I am using the hcitool scan and using a pi zero installed this repo all on bare metal and can’t find the device. I take the battery off and put it back and nothing happens. Is there another app you’d recommend to pick up the MAC address so I can start using this?

Hey, an outstanding improvement in this repository is to implement device scanning.

If no device is shown at all, there is definitely something wrong with the setup. You'd normally see one-two devices from your house or neighbors besides the planet monitor. Check the Android app "BLE Scanner" for confirmation.

If sudo hcitool lescan doesn't cut it you need to figure out what's wrong with the system. If you are not sure and the system is fresh, consider flashing openHABian. It's Raspbian with a few improvements for home automation. Includes miflora-mqtt-daemon as an option.

Ok so I misspoke I can see some devices just not this device. I will try that extra parameter is lescan
