homeassistant-aerogarden

This is a custom component for Home Assistant that adds support for the Miracle Grow AeroGarden Wifi hydroponic gardens.

Background

This was done without help from the AeroGarden people. As far as I can tell they post no public API. I took inspiration and code from the code in this forum post by epotex.

Currently, the code is setup to query the AeroGarden servers every 30 seconds.

Tested Models

Harvest Wifi

(I expect other models to work, since this queries their cloud service not the garden directly)

Setup

Copy contents of the aerogarden/ directory into your /custom_components/aerogarden directory (/config/custom_components on hassio)

Your directory structure should look like this:

   config/custom_components/aerogarden/__init__.py
   config/custom_components/aerogarden/binary_sensor.py
   config/custom_components/aerogarden/sensor.py
   config/custom_components/aerogarden/light.py

Configuration

Add the following snippet into your configuration.yaml replace [EMAIL] and [PASSWORD] with the account information you use in the AeroGarden phone app.


aerogarden:
    username: [EMAIL]
    password: [PASSWORD]

Data available

The component supports multiple gardens and multiple sensors will be created for each garden. [GARDEN NAME] will be replaced by whatever you named the garden in the phone app.

Light

light.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_light

Binary Sensors (on/off)

binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_pump
binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_nutrients
binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_water

Sensors

sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_nutrient
sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_planted

TODO

Code cleanup, this is my first HA component - it probably needs some work.
Turning on/off the light isn't working as smoothly as I hoped
