# SmartyPlants

> SmartyPlants is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 15 installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

SmartyPlants is a built-in Home Assistant integration that reads plant data from the SmartyPlants cloud service. It adds sensors for soil moisture, light quality, health score and time until the next fertilizing. Because it relies on the vendor's cloud, an account with the SmartyPlants app is needed. Setup happens in the UI and asks for an API key created in the app's settings. An optional live updates step takes a webhook secret, which is used to verify that pushed updates came from SmartyPlants.
