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.

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

once you install the batteries in it - I was able to connect it to my Zigbee network right away. simply stick in the ground and it picks up the temp and humidity in the earth.It does take a few minutes to get the accurate reading but once it does it's very good.

This is a handy Zigbee sensor to monitor the moisture of the plant’s soil and ambient air temperature levels. When it arrived all I needed to do were to peel off the blue skin of the device which is intended to protect it, insert my own 2 AAA batteries since none were included, hold the button for several seconds until the light started to blink and add the device to Home Assistant. It paired immediately with ZHA, and automatically showed everything except LQI and RSSI. I included the 2 primary functions in the history to keep an eye on those and easily setup an automation for alerts. Overall, this is a nice tool and great value which seems accurate compared to another non-smart sensor I have.

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…

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.

This is a smart sensor to generate and record historical data on growing conditions. It communicates with a hub, and relays to a smart device by Ziggbee, a propriety Wifi radio signal. What this means is that, while I wouldn't go buying an unrecommended hub if you have none already, it is likely that this will work with a pre existing ziggbee hub if you have it.The sensor requires AAA batteries, they are not included, neither is a hub. In terms of data accuracy and consistency, it gets full marks, it should last for years even outdoors, but longer indoors. The one hang up is that it is a semi-decent value at best, at the price I'd expect at least a multi pack of these sensors, or a sensor-hub combo.

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.
