The FYTA {% term integration %} uses the open API of FYTA to obtain the data from your plant sensors and integrate these into Home Assistant.

Supported devices

The integration should work with any FYTA Beam.

Prerequisites

For the integration to work you need a FYTA Beam and a FYTA account.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

To setup the integration you need the following information:

{% configuration_basic %} Email: description: "The email address used to access the FYTA account." Password: description: "The password used to access the FYTA account." {% endconfiguration_basic %}

Configuration options

The integration has no additional configuration options.

Supported functionality

Binary sensors

The following binary sensors are currently available per plant:

• Low battery
• Light notification
• Nutrition notification
• Temperature notification
• Water notification
• Productive plant
• Repotted
• Sensor update available

Image

The picture created or chosen in the FYTA app is also exposed to Home Assistant.

Sensors

The following sensors are currently available per plant:

name	Unit	Description
scientific_name		Scientific name of the plant
plant_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
temperature_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
light_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
moisture_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
nutrients_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
salinity_status		FYTA-Status (cf. scale below)
temperature	°C	Temperature measured by sensor
light	μmol/h	Light measured by sensor (hourly photosynthetically active radiation PAR)
moisture	%	Moisture measured by sensor
salinity	mS/cm	Salinity measured by sensor (measured as conductivity)
fertilise_last	date	Date when plant has last been fertilized
fertilise_next	date	Date when plant should be fertilized
battery_level	%	Battery level of the sensor

The plant status may have one of the following states:

• Plant deleted
• Plant good status
• Plant bad status
• Plant no sensor

For plant measurements, the following status scale is applied:

• No Data
• Too Low
• Low
• Perfect
• High
• Too High

Data updates

The integration fetches data from the device every 4 minutes.

Actions

The integration provides no additional actions.

Known limitations

The integration provides the data exposed by means of the plant API. The light measurement as current daily light integral (DLI) is not yet available (currently only the PAR value is provided).

Please note that in order to be able to access your plant data over the API, you need a FYTA hub that uploads the data from the Beam sensor to the FYTA server. Alternatively, the mobile app can serve as a gateway to upload the data from the Beam to the server. No direct connection to the FYTA Beam is supported (as the Beam only provides raw data, that needs to be processed on the FYTA server).

Remove integration

For this integration the general process to remove integrations applies:
