`b-parasite <https://github.com/rbaron/b-parasite>`__ is an open source soil moisture and ambient temperature/humidity/light sensor.
|
|
|
|
The ``b_parasite`` sensor platform tracks b-parasite's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packets. These packets contain soil moisture, air temperature/humidity and battery voltage data. Some b-parasite versions have light sensors, in which case the ambient illuminance is also present in the BLE advertisement data.
