With the following code Xiaomi Mi Flora is added in Home Assistant via Docker and added with a nice LoveLace gui.
Be sure that you run Home Assistant in –net=host (docker) or network_mode: host (docker-compose) if running in docker. Needed for bluetooth access.

Edit: in the meantime, i abandoned using the miflora component. Many times the bluetooth stack was unstable in home assistant and because i wanted to use home assistant docker without network_mode:host i wasn’t able to forward the Bluetooth adapter.
