homeassistant-aerogarden

This is a custom component for Home Assistant that adds support for the Miracle Grow AeroGarden Wifi hydroponic gardens.

Background

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.

Tested Models

• Harvest Wifi

(I expect other models to work, since this queries their cloud service not the garden directly)

Setup

Copy contents of the custom_compents/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

Configuration

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]

Data available

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

• light.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_light

Binary Sensors (on/off)

• binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_pump
• binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_nutrients
• binary_sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_need_water

Sensors

• sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_nutrient
• sensor.aerogarden_[GARDEN NAME]_planted

TODO

1. Code cleanup, this is my first HA component - it probably needs some work.
2. Turning on/off the light isn't working as smoothly as I hoped
