Recently I bought some Zigbee plant sensors and I added these to Home Assistant, but not all sensors that have been found by ZHA are correct. The humidity sensor should be a soil sensor and the value of this sensor isn’t picked up. Is there a way to get this sensor functioning the way it should?

Yes, i had the same problem, it seems this device is quite new and would need a custom quirk to connect, that is not written yet. I swapped out ZHA for Zigbee2MQTT, which makes this device work for me.
hello @wallie018, welcome to the forum 
and thanks for sharing you’re solution. I already have quite some devices configured through ZHA so switching to Zigbee2MQTT is a big step. Hopefully a custom quirk will become available eventually.
Hello, I just started Home Assistant, I followed the configuration in Zigbee2MQTT (it actually found the device) but it unconfigured the ZHA. I understand that it is a problem with the connection (Radio) between them. Should I change the connection ports of one of the two? Thanks
If I understand well
you want to use Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA at the same time with only 1 Zigbee stick ? Won’t work, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA both need exclusive access to the Zigbee stick.
If you want to run Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA at the same time, you need 2 Zigbee sticks.
