Looking for ZigBee or 433MHz soil sensors!Hello to #HomeAssistant gardeners! I'm unsure what's good right now as far as those go. Smaller sensors are better, not as small as coin cell, and especially if I can get illuminance as a sensor.Just unsure what to pick. Reviews are mixed on so many options it feels like. Some complain ThirdReality's are too huge, some complain of disconnects.Right now I've a generic larger ZigBee one and a tiny BLE MiFlora, and open to others.@homeassistant

Have a look on yoochoob for "the guy with the Swiss accent" (I forgot his real account name) - he did an interesting article on soil sensors.

I bought a zigbee sensor off Ali Express and it's fine, but it's waaay to.big for a small pot plant, but fine for a large one... so "big" vs "small" is kinda relative to the plant you're monitoring.
