do you have tips for someone who hasn’t gotten there yet but would want to and has 20+ plants that would be nice to monitor? I already build an indoor HA automated lamp house for tomatoes (ESPhome)

nirodhaavidya@lemmy.world 2 months ago Can confirm. Started with replacing my Tuya lightbulbs. Last thing I automated was hydrometers for my house plants to tell me they’re thirsty.

I guess I wish I had switched to zigbee earlier. I have been slowly replacing all my tuya wifi devices. Zigbee Home-assistant App and Zigbee2MQTT are both local-only. For Hygrometers, buy in bulk and expect 1 in 4 to be useless garbage. I get them on Ali for cheap.

Thanks. I would buy like 4pcs only and be disappointed, would not expect for 1 out of 4 to not work, thats good advice

How will we achieve fully automated luxury communism if the house plants are thirsty and we don’t know?
