FYTA is a German plant-care company whose sensors measure soil moisture, nutrients, temperature and light for houseplants and outdoor plants. The sensors are read through the FYTA app, with an optional Wi-Fi Hub for remote access and a public API for developers.

Works with full table
Indoor FYTA sensors such as the Beam talk to a phone or a FYTA Hub over Bluetooth only, and the app or hub forwards the readings to FYTA's cloud. The Wi-Fi Hub adds roughly 15-minute syncing and remote viewing. Smart home integrations all read from that cloud, and Home Assistant's page states that no direct connection to the Beam is supported.
That suits people who want plant readings and care alerts as sensors in Home Assistant or Homey, or who want to build on the public API. It is weaker for voice control and Matter, since FYTA names only IFTTT as the route to Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home, and for setups that must work without the internet.

The main app for all FYTA sensors. It shows plant status and care steps for watering, fertilising and repotting, includes photo-based plant identification, disease diagnosis and a plant library, and has a vacation mode for sharing plants. The App Store listing says it is free with no subscription and is published by FYTA GmbH. Without a hub, the Beam only updates when the app is open nearby.
A browser dashboard for viewing and downloading sensor data. FYTA's help article says it is not a smart home integration. We could not open a direct dashboard link.

|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Bluetooth | Yes | The indoor sensors (Beam G1, Beam G2, Mini and Sphere) communicate only over Bluetooth, with the FYTA Hub or the FYTA app on a phone, which then forward data to the FYTA cloud. The Beam product page specifies Bluetooth 4.2 or higher. | FYTA help: why Bluetooth FYTA Beam product page |
| Wi-Fi | Yes | The optional FYTA Wi-Fi Hub brings the Bluetooth sensors online and syncs about every 15 minutes, per the Beam page. An LTE Hub is also listed in the App Store text.

| Home Assistant | Yes | A built-in FYTA integration has been in Home Assistant since 2024.4. It reads FYTA's cloud with the account email and password, refreshes every 4 minutes and creates sensors for plant status, temperature, light, moisture, salinity and battery. It is maintained by a community contributor, not by FYTA. It needs sensor data to reach FYTA through a hub or the phone app, and Home Assistant states that no direct connection to the Beam is supported. | Home Assistant FYTA integration |
| Homey | Official | FYTA GmbH publishes a Homey app, listed as official. It supports Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and the Self-Hosted Server, and needs a FYTA account and Wi-Fi Hub.
