🖼️ Display Types

Full (default)

type: custom:flower-card
entity: plant.my_plant
display_type: full

Compact

A smaller card layout with hidden units and single-column bars:

type: custom:flower-card
entity: plant.my_plant
display_type: compact

Fine-Grained Overrides

The display type sets defaults you can override individually:

Setting	Full	Compact
`hide_units`	`false`	`true`
`bars_per_row`	`2`	`1`

# Compact header but 2 bars per row with units
type: custom:flower-card
entity: plant.my_plant
display_type: compact
bars_per_row: 2
hide_units: false

📊 Show Bars

Select which measurement bars to display:

show_bars:
  - moisture
  - temperature
  - illuminance

Available bars: moisture, temperature, conductivity, illuminance, humidity, dli, co2, soil_temperature

🌿 Care Info

Show OpenPlantbook care guidance as text boxes on the card. Select which fields to display:

show_care:
  - care_watering
  - care_sunlight
  - care_soil
  - care_pruning
  - care_fertilization

Available fields: care_watering, care_sunlight, care_soil, care_pruning, care_fertilization

Each selected field renders as a labeled text box — and only when the plant actually has that care attribute, so missing or empty fields are skipped automatically.

Note: Care text comes from OpenPlantbook via the plant integration. Existing plants need a species refresh before the care_* attributes appear (newly added plants get them automatically). You can confirm the data on your plant.… entity under Developer Tools → States.

🔋 Battery Sensor

Add a battery indicator to the card header. The icon changes color based on level:

Level	Color
>= 40%	🟢 Green
20–39%	🟠 Orange
< 20%	🔴 Red

battery_sensor: sensor.plant_sensor_battery

Battery sensor

🏷️ Extra Badges

Add additional icons next to the battery icon — sensor values, binary states, action buttons, or static labels.

extra_badges:
  - entity: sensor.room_humidity
    icon: mdi:water-percent
  - entity: binary_sensor.grow_light_on
    icon: mdi:lightbulb
    color_on: yellow
    color_off: grey
  - entity: input_button.water_plant
