title: Self-hosting my home: Grafana, InfluxDB, ESPHome --- _discoverable: no --- pub_date: 2021-12-31 --- body: ## InfluxDB ``` sql GRANT ALL ON "homeassistant" TO "homeassistant"; ``` ## Grafana ... ## ESP Home ... ### Temperature and Humidity Monitors ... ### Mi Flora - Get MAC Address for the Mi flora ``` $ bluetoothctl scan on | grep -i flo [NEW] Device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Flower care ``` - Create a new ESP Home integration to track the sensor: I name my sensors with numbers so I can write the number on them and identify them easily. You only need to assign sensors to rooms to have them easily available when looking for them on dashboards. ``` yaml [...] # Sensors esp32_ble_tracker: # Required for BLE scanning sensor: - platform: xiaomi_hhccjcy01 mac_address: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' temperature: name: "Flora 1 Temperature" moisture: name: "Flora 1 Moisture" illuminance: name: "Flora 1 Illuminance" conductivity: name: "Flora 1 Soil Conductivity" battery_level: name: "Flora 1 Battery Level" ``` - Validate and upload the configuration to your ESP device. - With that, you could already create a card with the sensors provided by the integration, but for better visual information a [`plant`](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/plant/) object can be created with aproppriate values. Information comes from the Mi Flora App, but someone dumped the database and it's available also [on github](https://github.com/khronimo/MiFloraDB). From the spreadsheet: - Moisture: `min_soil_moist`/`max_soil_moist` - Temperature: `min_temp`/`max_temp` - Conductivity: `min_soil_ec`/`max_soil_ec` - Brightness: `min_light_lux`/`max_light_lux` - Create a `plant` monitor on the `configuration.yaml` file: ``` yaml plant: parsley: sensors: moisture: sensor.flora_1_moisture battery: sensor.flora_1_battery temperature: sensor.flora_1_temperature conductivity: sensor.flora_1_soil_conductivity brightness: sensor.flora_1_illuminance min_moisture: 28 max_moisture: 75 min_battery: 20 min_conductivity: 100 max_conductivity: 2000 min_temperature: 5 max_temperature: 35 min_brightness: 2500 max_brightness: 55000 check_days: 3 ``` - Restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect. - Add a [Plant Status Card](https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/plant-status/) to your dashboard and select the plant you just created. ![My parsley plant status card](./plant-status-card.png) --- _discoverable: no
