# homebridge-flower-sensor



Integrate [Parrot Flower Power](https://www.parrot.com/us/connected-garden/parrot-pot#parrot-pot), the [Parrot Pot](https://www.parrot.com/us/connected-garden/parrot-pot#parrot-pot) or the never released [Parrot H2O](http://blog.parrot.com/2015/01/05/ces-2015-flower-power-h2o/) into HomeKit using [homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge). This plugin does not depend upon the now discontinued [Parrot Cloud](https://community.smartthings.com/t/parrot-flower-power-discontinued/78929) by talking directly to the sensors using a Bluetooth Low Energy connection.

## Capabilities



This plugin exposes the following capabilities of the Flower Power sensor to HomeKit:



* Soil Temperature

* Soil Moisture

* Ambient Light Level

* Identifying the sensor flashes the built-in LED

* Monitor the battery status of the Flower Power sensor

* Provides date/time the sensor data was last retrieved

* Provides the date/time the batteries were last changed

* 24h average low light level sensor trigger for plant recommendations

* 24h average low humidity level sensor trigger to remind you to water your plants



There're more capabilities planned for the future. And see the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for release information.



## Using this plugin



To use this plugin I recommend a [Raspberry Pi Zero W](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w/). You can monitor multiple Flower Power devices in one homebridge on one Raspberry Pi Zero W.
