it seems, that HomeAssistant does now know mol/d - with the new FYTA integration
Maybe, this could also be used to fix the issue from #148
I think the best way to add this is to add a new sensor to the plant device (with a proper name) that reads these values, and then does the appropriate calculations to update the relevant diagnostics sensors with the correct information, which in turn updates the DLI sensor.
This has nothing todo with #148 - as explained in the last update there.
I am interested in the FYTA sensors too. Subscribing to the topic. Asides from that: @ChristophCaina Do I need the FYTA Wi-Fi Hub for the sensors? I already run some ESP32 BT Proxies and would like to use these instead of adding another BT5 hub.
Yes, the hub ist required for the fyta Integration. Yet, I am Not very satisfied as the Update Intervall is pretty long
Hi, Is there maybe any update on this one? The only issue seems to me, that the Fyta integration does not provide an illumination entity with "lx".
The Plant Integration could probably handle this by itself, when it would directly allow sensors that provide the illumination in formats like mol/d ...
Someone needs to create a PR that reads the "mol/d" measurement from the physical sensor, and updates the ppfd-sensor in this integration (and ignores the lx-values if they don't exist).
Hi there :)
Currently, I am testing the FYTA Plant sensors, since HomeAssistant 2024.4.0 added support for those. FYTA is more expensive than the HHCC sensors that are working with Xiaomi BLE, also the integration is cloud based - but, what I do like about the Fyta Sensors so far is, that you can exchange the detectors that you will place in the soil...
Based on the documentation from HomeAssistant, the FYTA Sensors should provide some more information than the HHCC ...

It would be great, if it would be possible to select the sensor type in the future and support for those sensors would be added in a future release ;)
