A problem is only reported if the maximum brightness over the last days was lower than min_brightness. You can use this to check if the plant gets enough light during the course of the day.

 ### Using plain MQTT sensor to get the data
 This is a practical example that uses a multiple of `MQTT sensors` to supply the readings used by the `plant` sensor.
-Another good source of this data would be the [Mi Flora](/components/sensor.miflora/) component.

+Another good source of this data would be the [Mi Flora](/components/sensor.miflora/) component.
 
 If the sensor data is within the min/max values the status will be `ok`, if not the status will be `problem`. You can use this to trigger a notification, if there is a problem with your plant. Of course you can only monitor attributes of your plant, where the sensor is configured and is providing the data.
