I picked this app to help me figure out the light in each of the areas I was thinking of placing plants. I paid for the year of premium service and I can’t find the light meter. One of my missing? I really appreciate the help. Thank you.

Pick a site, then go into it’s settings, click on ‘light’ and you’ll see the option to use light meter or select your own type of light :)

Sorry to be dense (🤦🏻‍♀️)—site?

Where you said what room you put the plant in

click on the little leaves tab at the bottom of your main page, if you’ve set up a site you’ll see them listed, open one and then go to the settings wheel in the top right corner.  
If you haven’t set up a site before click on the green plus circle in the bottom right corner and select “add site”. It will take you through some options, one will be the light meter :)
