Hi everyone, I’m from Simpla Home and wanted to share something we’ve been working on. Our Zigbee soil moisture sensor, Soil X1, just went live on Kickstarter: [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/simpla-home/soil-x1-top-bottom-soil-moisture-for-your-home-zigbee](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/simpla-home/soil-x1-top-bottom-soil-moisture-for-your-home-zigbee "https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/simpla-home/soil-x1-top-bottom-soil-moisture-for-your-home-zigbee") We’ve successfully tested it with Homey Pro Mini. It measures moisture in two separate zones and uses a replaceable AA battery. We already have a working Homey app and plan to publish it before the first Soil X1 units ship. We’re also in contact with Athom about making it an official integration. What do you think? ---

I think excellent - my wife has a black, or _very_ non-green thumb, but she loves plants. I’ve just now started looking for smart soil moisture monitors …
