One downside, at least to me, these sensors don’t measure the soil moisture and nutrition levels.

I found and purchased these @ Ali (€10),

they’re [supported by zigbee2mqtt.](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ZS-SF00.html#arteco-zs-sf00)

~~If you like I can pass a zigbee device interview to Dylan  
(universal Tuya Zigbee app).  
Or maybe Twan is interested adding it to his app?~~

Update:

It’s now supported per universal Tuya zigbee app:

My ZG-303Z shows soil moisture using the Hobeian app (mentioned a few posts above).

But the one in your link doesn’t look like ZG-303Z(?) which looks like this this one and doesn’t have soil quality sensor [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009760936017.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009760936017.html)

My bad Alex, I meant to write soil _nutrition_ (also called ‘fertility’).  
The one shown here doesn’t seem to have that specific sensor

Correct, it is no Hobeian device:
