Hey Community, Now that Plant Link is live and kicking… is there anyone out there that integrated it into Smart Things? I know back when this was a kickstarter, this was a planned integration, but I’m having a difficult time finding the procedure on how to connect it. Any help would be great. Th…

Last I heard from STs was… “Nope”

Looks like there might be a public api now though… More research needed :smile:

I wonder if my plant still has a chance to come back to life too. :disappointed_relieved: [image] Next few weeks might be interesting Connected Things I’m still testing my own device type code. So far I think I’m not getting timely alerts. [image]

There are a few devices floating around. ST wrote one in 2013, and its very basic. I am working on improving it. https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/device/exampleData/75fe2090-7e25-43a1-a3f8-5c7cbcf7dbac Oso (PlantLink) wrote a device/connector that sort of works. The problem is that you can…

Yes, I’m excited about these sensors too. The Plantlink API docs are here for the curious: https://www.mashape.com/danwiding/PlantLink#

[image] Kristopher: In any case, I’m going to work on this a bit more because I think the hardware is pretty good. Is your use case with or without the Plantlink hub? I believe pure ST only connectivity was where things fell apart last year?

I am very curious about this as well. Want to buy some, as I am horrible at keeping plants alive, and one or two in the lawn will be a good thing too…

Hey @dlee – The first device I wrote exclusively used the PlantLink Hub. My second attempt at this is using a direct ST connection. Oso did a really nice job of finding out the optimal soil moisture for each plant and soil type. This is proprietary and only available via their API. To make thing…

@Kristopher , glad you are going to give it another try. IIRC, things failed if you didn’t also have a Plantlink hub. There was not a way to create a plantlink account if you did not first register a plantlink hub. Would be great to work around that. I have over 100 types of plants in my property an…

Hey @dlee That sounds pretty close to my use case too. Maybe I should just focus on the soil type (there’s only about a dozen) and make sure the reading is correct for that soil type. I have the devices working right now and giving off a reading without an account and directly paired to ST. So w…
