Hi everyone, I’m looking for a sensor for plants (with light, humidity, etc’) that communicates via zigbee. All I find online is mi flora which is bluetooth (BLE) and ‘intermidiary’ esp32/esp12/arduino devices. I prefer not to use bluetooth at all if possible and to buy a zigbee device. Do you have any suggestions?
thanks

This device is Zigbee. I’ve never used it though.

Just saw this thread and would like to ask if someone connected these linked sensors above into homeassistant?
There are a few issues with this sensor:
It doesn’t seal properly, so moisture gets into the case with the circuit board, which is not good
The temperature sensor is not reflected correctly in HA, so it is not useful for temperature
The moisture is not very accurate in HA.
It is too expensive for those drawbacks.

Could look at building your own. There is also a V3 that has the bill of materials that U can order assembled from jlcpcb.

I’ve now bought an ESP32 board which makes monitoring of ble sensors much easier.
