In this video, I’ll show you how I built a Smart Garden Digital Twin using Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M), and HA Floorplan — all visualized in a live, interactive dashboard!
💧 You’ll see how I automated my 2-outlet Zigbee water irrigation timer, connected 3 Zigbee soil moisture sensors, and added 2 Zigbee garden light bulbs — all integrated into Home Assistant and visualized in a beautiful floorplan view.
🌱 I’ll walk you through my real garden setup, show you exactly what to buy, and explain step-by-step how to configure everything in Z2M and HA — from pairing the devices to building a smart digital twin of your garden.
