Verdalia for Home Assistant

The Verdalia integration adds your garden to Home Assistant, alongside everything else you already track there. Install it, sign in with your Verdalia account through the browser, and it keeps a running list of the care your plants are due for — refreshed on its own, without you opening the app.

Setting it up

Add the integration from Home Assistant's own integrations screen and follow the link it gives you. That opens a Verdalia page in your browser, where you sign in and approve the connection — there's no address or key to copy by hand. Once you approve it, its entities appear.

What appears

One checklist entity lists every care task currently due or overdue across your whole collection, one line per plant and the kind of care it's waiting on.

Each plant also gets its own entity that turns on the moment any of its care falls due, so you can build a dashboard tile or an automation around a single plant instead of the whole checklist. Its attributes carry the reasons behind that state as plain-English sentences instead of raw codes — always in English, whatever language your account or Home Assistant uses; the app's own why-it's-due explanation is translated, this one isn't.

What it doesn't do

To be clear:

It never waters, feeds, or otherwise acts on a plant — everything it shows is read-only, a mirror of your journal.
It cannot upload photos or run photo identification.
It cannot change your account, your plan, or your settings.
Past the first 50 plants in your collection, the rest don't get entities — Home Assistant's log notes it when that happens.

Its share of your daily budget

Every assistant and integration you connect draws from the same allowance: 200 connector requests a day on the free plan and 2,000 on Pro, resetting at midnight UTC. Checking in every 15 minutes, the default, spends about 96 of those a day on its own, so leave room for anything else on the account, or set a longer interval when you configure the integration — if the interval you picked would outrun what's left, Home Assistant's log notes it at setup.

Removing it

Open Settings › Connected apps in Verdalia, or simply delete the integration from Home Assistant. Either way access ends immediately — the next request is refused.
