Stay way, it is way too addictive. If you are not careful you will end automating from window blinds to toilets.
Can confirm. Started with replacing my Tuya lightbulbs. Last thing I automated was hydrometers for my house plants to tell me they're thirsty.
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)
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?
