# Simple Plant
[](https://github.com/hacs/integration)
[](https://buymeacoffee.com/ndesgranges)
Simple plant aims to provide a very simple integration to help you list and take care of your plants without any external service or sensor.
I also developped a custom card for this integration: [simple-plant-card](https://github.com/ndesgranges/simple-plant-card)
## Context
Over the years, I've acquired a lot of plants. It became hard to remember when to water my plants.
I've been testing a lot of services just to help me with this task, but the integration in home assistant was not great. Even Home assistant itself provide a plant integration that I find somewhat useless if you don't have "plant" sensor (those ones you put in the ground).
Simple plant aims to fix this.
## Installation
[](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=ndesgranges&repository=simple-plant&category=integration)
OR
1. Install HACS if you don't have it already
2. Open HACS in Home Assistant
3. On the top right side, click the three dot and click `Custom repositories`
4. Where asked for a URL, paste the link of this repository:
https://github.com/ndesgranges/simple-plant
5. Where asked for a type, select `integration`
6. Click the download button. ⬇️
7. Install the [simple-plant-card](https://github.com/ndesgranges/simple-plant-card) card for your dashboard ! (optionnal)
## Entities
This integration provides the following entities
> NOTE: \
> In the following table, `@` represent the name of the device, for example, If I've got a device called "Foo" `test_@` would be `test_foo`
| Entity | Description |
| ------ | ----------- |
| binary_sensor.simple_plant_**todo**_@ | `true` if the plant needs to be watered |
| binary_sensor.simple_plant_**problem**_@ | `true` (and labelled as problem) if the plant "water date" is overdue |
| button.simple_plant_**mark_watered**_@ | Mark the plant as watered |
| date.simple_plant_**last_watered**_@ | Last time the plant has been marked as watered. In Theory it should not need to be changed manually, but it's there for flexibility |
| image.simple_plant_**picture**_@ | Just a picture of your plant to show in your dashboard |
| number.simple_plant_**days_between_waterings**_@ | Amount of days to wait before each watering before notifying |
| select.simple_plant_**health**_@ | A manual dumb selector just to note the current health of your plant, it doesn't do anything else |
| sensor.simple_plant_**next_watering**_@ | Stores the next date a watering is expected |
