A simple integration to allow Home Assistant to communicate with Vegetronix HegeHubs. This project aims to enhance your gardening experience by providing real-time data from your soil moisture sensors. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting, ha-vegehub helps you monitor and manage your garden efficiently.

• Easy Integration: Seamlessly connect your Vegetronix HegeHubs with Home Assistant.
• Real-time Data: Get instant updates on soil moisture levels.
• User-friendly Interface: Simple setup and configuration process.
• Custom Alerts: Set notifications for specific moisture levels.
• Data Logging: Keep track of moisture levels over time for better insights.

To install the ha-vegehub integration, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest release from the Releases section.
2. Extract the files and place them in your Home Assistant custom components directory.
3. Restart Home Assistant to apply the changes.

After installation, you need to configure the integration. Add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

vegehub:
  sensor:
    - name: "Soil Moisture Sensor"
      id: <your_sensor_id>

Replace <your_sensor_id> with the actual ID of your Vegetronix HegeHub.

Once configured, you can start using the integration. The sensor will automatically report soil moisture levels to Home Assistant. You can view this data in your dashboard and set up automations based on moisture levels.

Here’s a simple automation example that sends a notification when the soil moisture drops below a certain level:

automation:
  - alias: Notify Low Soil Moisture
    trigger:
      platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.soil_moisture_sensor
      below: 30
    action:
      service: notify.notify
      data:
        message: "Soil moisture is low. Please water your plants."
