Hi everyone,
I’ve been experimenting with a custom button-card based plant dashboard and I’m considering turning it into a standalone custom card and eventually publishing it through HACS.
The objective is to provide a modern plant monitoring experience that surfaces the important information at a glance rather than requiring users to dig through individual sensors.
Current Features
- Plant image
- Scientific name
- Health score calculation
- Soil moisture monitoring
- Daily Light Integral (DLI)
- Temperature monitoring
- Humidity monitoring
- Soil temperature
- VPD tracking
- Battery status
- Link quality
- Automatic issue detection
- Dynamic health colouring
- Plant Monitor integration
Example Use Cases
- Indoor tropical plants
- Greenhouses
- Houseplant collections
- Plant rooms
- Grow tents
- Conservatories
Potential Future Features
- Historical graphs
- Compact mode
- Watering recommendations
- Fertiliser schedules
- Growth journals
- Plant grouping
- Auto-discovery/configuration
- Mobile-first layouts
- Multiple themes
I’m interested in feedback before deciding whether to package it into a dedicated card.
Would this be something you’d install from HACS?
What would make it genuinely useful for your setup?
Thanks!
