FYTA Plant Monitor Integration for UC Remote - Early MVP Release

Software Integrations
1

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share my FYTA plant sensor integration for UC Remote that I’ve been working on. You can find the code at GitHub.

What’s Working

  • Full Python implementation

  • Authentication with FYTA API

  • Temperature and moisture sensor data display

  • Easy setup through UC Remote interface

  • Works with the default “Günther” plant for testing

Known Limitations

  • Needs reinstallation after remote reboot

  • No periodic updates yet (one-time data fetch at setup)

  • Basic error handling

  • UI can freeze during entity setup (temporary workaround: refresh the page)

Looking for Help!

I’d love to get your feedback and contributions to make this integration better. Specifically looking for help with:

  • Adding periodic data updates

  • Fixing the reboot persistence issue

  • Improving error handling

  • General code improvements

The integration is fully functional but in early stages, so any testing and feedback would be incredibly valuable. If you have FYTA sensors, please give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Quick Start

I’ve included detailed setup instructions in the README, including a pre-compiled version you can try right away. You’ll need UC Remote with beta firmware 2.3.0.

Feel free to open issues, submit PRs, or reach out with questions. Let’s make this integration awesome together! :seedling:

The FYTA Plant Monitor integration is now ready for proper testing. All major issues have been fixed and the integration should work reliably.

If you have time to test, I’d appreciate your feedback on functionality, reliability, or any bugs you encounter. Please reach out with any improvement suggestions.

If you own FYTA plant sensors, a simple reaction to this message would be helpful to gauge user interest.
