iobroker.flowers

ioBroker.flowers

Monitor indoor plants via soil moisture, temperature and battery sensors with Telegram notifications.

This adapter works with any sensor already integrated in ioBroker (Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, etc.) — no specific hardware required. Popular compatible sensors:

• Xiaomi Mi Flora / HHCC Plant Sensor — Bluetooth soil moisture + temperature + light
• Zigbee soil moisture sensors (e.g. Tuya TS0601, MOES) — via ioBroker Zigbee adapter
• Any sensor exposing humidity/temperature/battery states in ioBroker

Notifications are sent via the ioBroker Telegram adapter.

Features

• Monitor multiple plants with individual sensor assignments
• Built-in plant profiles (Ficus, Orchid, Cactus, Monstera, Fern, Succulent, Palm, Pothos, Aloe Vera, Peace Lily, Coffea arabica, Rhapis excelsa, Calathea zebrina, Sansevieria Laurentii, Custom)
• Custom profiles: create your own plant profiles with individual thresholds in the Profiles tab
• Configurable thresholds per plant (override profile defaults)
• Automatic watering: trigger a watering switch when soil humidity drops below minimum
• Configurable watering duration (minutes)
• Telegram notifications via sendTo('telegram.X', ...)
• Anti-spam: max messages per day limit + configurable cooldown per alert type
• Night mode: suppress notifications during quiet hours
• Daily and weekly plant status reports with manual trigger buttons
• Offline sensor detection

Configuration

Settings Tab

Parameter	Description
Telegram Instance	Instance number of the telegram adapter
Telegram Users	Comma-separated usernames (empty = all users)
Check Interval	How often to check sensor values
Max Messages per Day	Anti-spam limit
Offline Threshold	Hours before sensor is considered offline
Night Mode	Suppress notifications during night hours
Daily/Weekly Report	Scheduled status reports

Plants Tab

Add your plants and assign ioBroker state IDs for each sensor. Select a profile — thresholds are applied automatically. You can override individual threshold values per plant.

For automatic watering, assign a Watering state ID (e.g. a switch that controls a pump or valve). When soil humidity drops below the minimum threshold, the adapter sets this state to true for the configured watering duration, then sets it back to false.

Profiles Tab

Overview of built-in profiles with recommended thresholds. You can also create custom profiles in the table at the top — enter a name and thresholds, then use that name in the "Custom Profile" field in the Plants tab.

States

The adapter creates states under flowers.X.plants.<plant_name>:

State	Description
humidity	Current soil humidity %
temperature	Current temperature °C
battery	Current battery %

And under flowers.X:

State	Description
info.connection	Adapter connection status
notifications.totalToday	Notifications sent today
notifications.sendDailyReport	Button: trigger daily report manually
notifications.sendWeeklyReport	Button: trigger weekly report manually

Automatic Watering

Assign a Watering state (e.g. zigbee.0.pump.state) in the Plants tab. When humidity drops below the minimum:

• The adapter sets the watering state to true
• Waits for the configured Watering Duration (minutes)
• Sets the state back to false

Only one watering cycle runs at a time per plant. Configure the duration in Settings → Automatic Watering.
