Overview

Version 1 required plant: entries in configuration.yaml for manual setup. It supported fetching data from OpenPlantbook via YAML configuration.

Configuration Example

plant:
  openplantbook:
    client_id: !secret plantbook_client_id
    secret: !secret plantbook_secret

  plant_1:
    species: champagne mini rose
    sensors:
      moisture: sensor.mi_m_80eaca88xxxx
      conductivity: sensor.mi_c_80eaca88xxxx
      temperature: sensor.mi_t_80eaca88xxxx
      brightness: sensor.mi_l_80eaca88xxxx

You could override OpenPlantbook values:

  plant_2:
    species: champagne mini rose
    name: Little Rose
    sensors:
      moisture: sensor.mi_m_80eaca88xxxx
      conductivity: sensor.mi_c_80eaca88xxxx
      temperature: sensor.mi_t_80eaca88xxxx
      brightness: sensor.mi_l_80eaca88xxxx
    min_temperature: 25
    max_moisture: 100
    image: https://path.to/image.jpg

The species had to match exactly the "pid" in OpenPlantbook, including punctuation:

  my_plant:
    species: coleus 'marble'

Problem Reports

Brightness warnings could be disabled per plant:

  plant_2:
    warn_low_brightness: false

Attributes

Limits were accessible as attributes:

{{ state_attr('plant.my_plant', 'limits') }}

{% set limits = state_attr('plant.my_plant', 'limits') %}
{{ limits['min_moisture'] }}
