Alternative plants component for Home Assistant

This integration can automatically fetch data from OpenPlantBook if you are a registered user. Registration is free.

BREAKING CHANGES

Warning

This integration is about to be completely rewritten. Versions > 2.0.0 will not be compatible with the original plant integration in HA or with earlier releases of this integration.

Note

Version 2 of this integration will try to convert all plant: entries from configuration.yaml to the new format. After migration, you can (and should) remove your plant: entries from your YAML-configuration.

Warning Please notice that the entity_id of the plants will NOT be preserved during auto-migration. Also, since the "layout" of the new integration is completely different from the old one, you probably have to update and modify any automations, scripts, blueprints etc. you have made based on the old version.

Make sure you check you plant settings after the first restart. You can find the configuration options in the Integrations page under Settings in Home Assistant.

Version 1

This is the "old" version. Requiring plant-entries in configuration.yaml and manual setup.

This version will no longer be maintained, and I strongly urge everyone to test out the new version and report any issues.

The rest of this file will describe the upcoming version - 2.0.0.

Version 2

This is the new and upcoming version. It is set up in the UI and all configuration of your plants can be managed there or by automations and scripts.

All existing entries in configuration.yaml from version 1 will be migrated to the new format automatically. Notice that some options (like warn_low_brightness) will not be migrated over, but can be easily changed in the UI configuration after migration.

Version 2 is available as a beta release in HACS.
