Maybe your plant sensor is out of range..?

No because Gattool is working ok
Never solved the issue but did direct Bluetooth to HA, so No need for plant gateway any more

I have the same issue and can confirm, that the sensors definitely in range - In example I can see that device in ' bluetoothctl' as [NEW] Device C4:7C:8D:65:C9:09 Flower care - In the docker log I get:

Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:50:43 ERROR    could not read data from C4:7C:8D:65:C9:09 (livingroom_1) with reason: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Have had the same problem and the errors means the connection to the MQTT broker can not be made. In my case I used the wrong port number.
