The app read randomly one sensor value out of four. **Developer response:** Version 5 now works correctly with Flower Care Max. ### 5/5 — Rettung für mein Flower Power *2022-06-25* Ohne diese App könnte ich mein Gerät nicht mehr nutzen da der Hersteller die App und das Gerät offensichtlich nicht mehr unterstützt. Watch Flower ist die Rettung und erspart der Umwelt Elektroschrott, vielen Dank, funktioniert prima! ### 1/5 — No history / daily data *2021-06-10* You need to open the app every single day in order to get the data. The original app pulls history data for ever single day - this app doesn’t. ### 3/5 — Notification *2021-06-06* Bonjour, je voudrais savoir si il est possible d’avoir des notifications dès qu’une plante manque d’eau afin d’éviter de regarder tout le temps l’application ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-04-19* Awesome app. Better than original. No cloud BS. I am currently waiting for historical data sync to be implemented in the live build (its already showing on GitHub). 9.5/10 would buy again! ### 5/5 — Amazing for enabling plant sensors *2021-04-15* This is an amazing app and vast improvement on the various other plant sensor apps (such as flower care, parrot flower power etc). With the various versions of plant sensors it syncs super quickly (less than a minute with 10-20 sensors), it displays in a simple scroll list the state of all the plants, and enables easily seeing what needs attention. Enabling sorting by location is a small thing but also makes a big difference in monitoring/care. It’s a step change up. Thank you! Would be really nice to have a plant database and ability to associate photos of plants with the plant, but it works fine by entering proper descriptions. ### 5/5 — Absolutely *2021-03-30* This app syncs data from Xiaomi flora sensors much quicker than the native Mi Home app or Flower Care app. The UI is easy to understand and navigate. The only thing that could make this app better is notifications for low water level and an automatic sync of data to smart home systems. Please give us the latter. ### 5/5 — New install *2020-12-09* Very easy to connect and get data. Other aps for the hardware were panned heavily so loaded this version ### 5/5 — Application sympa *2020-12-04* Une mise à jour pour des notifications serait-il possible ? ## Frequently asked questions about WatchFlower ### What is WatchFlower?
