FYTA

The FYTA integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] 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.

Configuration

To add the FYTA hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

To setup the integration you need the following information:

Email

The email address used to access the FYTA account.

Password

The password used to access the FYTA account.

Configuration options

The integration has no additional configuration options.

Supported functionality

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)
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)
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:

To remove an integration instance from Home Assistant

  1. Go to Settings > Devices & services and select the integration card.
  2. From the list of devices, select the integration instance you want to remove.
  3. Next to the entry, select the three-dot menu. Then, select Delete.
