Plant monitor

Know what your plants need before they wilt.

A Zigbee monitor for plant and garden conditions. It works locally through your Zigbee coordinator with no cloud. Optional cloud sync adds remote access, history and analysis.

Highlights

  • Zigbee, local-first

    Monitors plant and garden conditions over Zigbee and works locally, with no cloud.

  • Works with your coordinator

    Pairs with a Raidoheim hub, or with your own Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA setup.

  • Cloud is optional

    Turn on cloud sync for remote access, history and analysis.

  • Your assistant, your choice

    Your data is reachable by AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT and others) through our API and MCP server, or by on-device AI.

How it connects

Requires: Zigbee coordinator (Raidoheim hub, Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA).

Works locally Optional, only if you turn on cloud sync

How Plant monitor connects:

  1. Plant monitor (Zigbee)
  2. Coordinator (Yours or ours)
  3. Your platform (Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, Home Assistant)

Optional, from the coordinator, only if you turn on cloud sync:

  1. Raidoheim cloud (Remote access, history)
  2. API / MCP (Open interfaces)
  3. Your AI assistant (The one you choose)

Integrations

Privacy and data

Without the internet
The monitor works locally with no cloud. Readings go to your Zigbee coordinator, whether that is a Raidoheim hub or your own Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA setup.
With cloud sync (optional)
Cloud sync is optional and off unless you turn it on. It adds remote access, history and analysis.

How it works

The monitor reports plant and garden conditions over Zigbee to a coordinator: a Raidoheim hub, or the Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA setup you already run. Everything works locally from there.

If you turn on cloud sync, readings also go to the Raidoheim cloud for remote access, history and analysis. From there, the AI assistant you choose can reach them through our API and MCP server. On-device AI is the other route.

Questions

Does it need the cloud?

No. It works locally through your Zigbee coordinator. Cloud sync is optional and adds remote access, history and analysis.

Which coordinator do I need?

A Raidoheim hub, or your own Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA setup.
