This is a custom component for Home Assistant that adds support for the Miracle Grow AeroGarden Wifi hydroponic gardens.
I no longer have an aerogarden, and don't use this component anymore - so I can't verify if it works or not. Sorry about that, but looking for someone that would want to take this on, and take over any development.
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.
- Harvest Wifi
(I expect other models to work, since this queries their cloud service not the garden directly)
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
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]
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.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_light
- binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_pump
- binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_nutrients
- binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_water
- sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_nutrient
- sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_planted
- 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
