+This plugin provides support for the Bluetooth LE
+[Xiaomi Flower Care Monitor](https://xiaomi-mi.com/sockets-and-sensors/xiaomi-huahuacaocao-flower-care-smart-monitor/).
+
+The Xiaomi Flower Care sensor will provide information about temperature, soil moisture and conductivity as well as light intensity.
+By default, the sensor value is refreshed from the sensor every 20 minutes. This setting can be changed to poll the sensor more or
+less often, depending if more precise measurements or longer battery life are more important.
