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

- 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.
