Flower Care Register

Enregistrez votre HuaHuaCaoCao (Xiaomi) Soins Flower Smart Monitor partout

This application helps your register your HuaHuaCaoCao (Xiaomi) Flower Care Smart Monitor. Some webshops ship the domestic, Chinese version of this device which does not work outside of China. This app helps you overcome this issue and register your device to your account regardless of your location. Afterwards you can use the device with the official app to monitor your plants.

This is an unofficial app and we are not affiliated with HuaHuaCaoCao or Xiaomi.

The code is open source and available on Github: https://github.com/markszabo/FlowerCareRegister Every improvement and feedback is greatly appreciated.

If it doesn't work for you please send your Android version, your device model and the exact behaviour (aka what doesn't work). The preferred way is an issue on Github, but you can contact me directly as well.
