Xiaomi mi flora and Flower care integration

The Home Assistant custom component uses Flower Care™ Smart Monitor to retrieve flower information (http://www.huahuacaocao.com/product). HuaHuaCaoCao means flowers & Plants in Chinese.

Please read carefully

1. Need to register to Flower Care™ Smart Monitor App on Google Android devices or on Apple iOS devices to use this component.
2. This custom component extends the Home Assistant Plant monitor with plant information coming from the Flora Care application.
3. The lovelace card is self installed by the component and can be used also without the xiaomi Flora sensor.

Manual installation

1. Using the tool of choice, open the directory (folder) of your HA configuration (there you can find configuration.yaml).
2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called huahuacaocao.
4. Download all the files from the custom_components/huahuacaocao/ directory (folder) in this repository.
