Dedicated plant care dashboard using data from:
- Third Reality soil moisture sensors (Gen1 + Gen2, via Zigbee2MQTT + ZHA)

input_datetime.*_last_watered,input_number.*_last_run_duration) - Orbit BHyve zone status

Default Dashboard
The built-in default Lovelace dashboard (auto-generated) also exists at /lovelace but is not listed as a custom storage-mode dashboard — it uses HA's auto-entities feature.
Frontend Customizations (HACS Plugins)
These HACS plugins extend dashboard capabilities:
| Plugin | Author | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bubble Card | Clooos | Modern pop-up room/device cards |
| Slider Button Card | custom-cards | Dimmer/fan slider controls |
| Comfortable Environment Card | argaar | Temperature + humidity comfort display |
| Keep Texts in Tabs | elchininet | Tab labels in card navigation |
| Weather Chart Card | mlamberts78 | Multi-day weather forecast chart |
| Energy Sankey Card | davet2001 | Energy flow Sankey diagram |
| Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap Card | azuwis | Zigbee mesh network topology map |
| TrashCard | idaho | Garbage collection schedule card |
Notes / Gotchas
- The Home View dashboard is admin-only — non-admin Lovelace users will not see it in the sidebar.
- WebRTC camera cards (using the WebRTC Camera HACS integration by AlexxIT) provide low-latency live views; they require go2rtc to be running.
- The Plants dashboard data is only as accurate as the automation-populated helpers — if an irrigation cycle is manually interrupted before completion, the last run duration may be incorrect.
- Weather Chart Card uses the Met.no
Forecast Homeweather entity.
