HaozeeSmart Zigbee Soil Moisture Sensor, Requires TUYA HUB,Support Zigbee2mqtt Home Assistant,Moisture Meter for Plants with Real-Time Detection, Historical Record, Soil Meter for Garden

These paired easily to my Moes multi-mode gateway (Zigbee coordinator) using the Smart Life app, and a press of the button changed them from Celsius to Fahrenheit. I've got these and others in my garden about fifty feet from the window where the gateway is placed. The signal isn't strong, not I've never lost a connection.They don't work with Alexa, but I've got some cheap Smart Life plugs that do. I have set up automations in Smart Life that toggle the plugs. Alexa can trigger routines based on the changing state of the plugs. This way if the soil gets dry I can let Alexa know by turning on the plug. (I use a three-port USB switch, which saves space and money.)

This sensor is picked up by zigbee2mqtt without any issues.The update frequency is not very high, but that shouldn’t be an issue since soil moisture doesn’t change that much, often.Hopefully this will make the 2 AAA batteries last long.Cons: a bit expensive, especially considering these same ones go on aliexpress for roughly $5-$7 a piece.I would love to add more of these sensors, but at this price it gets costly quick.The temperature is always reported in celsius, even though the button switches from celsius to fahrenheit. Not a huge issue, but worth mentioning.My battery is always reported as low (see screenshot), but this might be due to the NiMH batteries that I’m using, instead of alkalines (2.4V vs 3V). So far it hasn’t impacted the functionality, and hopefully it will keep functioning for a long time, despite reporting low battery.I’m using mqtt2prometheus to log the readings, to then graph in Grafana.In the future I plan to automate my sprinklers based on the moisture level, but I would need more sensors to cover all areas…

Connected easily to my Z2M in Home Assistant. The device works great to monitor my soil soil moisture in a bad where I have my roses. It seems like it is working well and I assume that the it is accurately monitoring the moisture in my soil. I am curious to see how long the battery life will be on this device.

Nunca se conecto ni funciono de ninguna forma.

Haozee Smart Zigbee Soil Moisture SensorThis sensor works seemlessly with our home setup, and alerts me when my plants are especially dried out. Helps me stay on top of watering them so the poor green little guys don't shrivel up. I did note the battery doesn't last super long, but it's easy to swap them out and put the sensor back in the soil

The temperature works fine, but the humidity has been at 100% since I installed it. Looks like there is an issue with the sensor as my analog soil moisture sensor reads a completely different value.

I’ve got over 50 zigbee devices in my home automation setup now, though this is only my second Haozee device. So far it has worked well; it paired immediately with my Home Assistant ZHA running on Home Assistant Green with Nortek USB stick. I like that the device uses ordinary AAA batteries; I am tired of coin battery based devices, I prefer to use rechargeables. So far the sensor has worked well on my starter seed trays, indoors. If I move this sensor outside at some point, I’ll have to consider how to extend the zigbee mesh that far, something to consider when choosing sensors. Z-wave might be better outside with its longer range.

The Haozee moisture sensor worked with both Home Assistant and the Smart Life app. The device connected to my previously installed hubs without issue. It provides three basic features: Humidity, Temperature, and battery level. Both apps I use provide nice graphs for soil moisture. The device also works with automations, so it is possible to send a “Water the plants” message to a smart phone.
