Zigbee sensors for getting started

For the first monitoring, one Zigbee temperature and humidity sensor is sufficient. The screen is convenient for checking readings on site, and soil and leakage sensors can be added at any time.

You do not need an expensive branded kit to get started. Choose an option that suits your budget and make sure the listing says Zigbee rather than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Search links are neutral, have no affiliate tags, and availability varies by country and seller.

One Zigbee sensor provides several indicators for a pot, bed or greenhouse zone at once and does not require a separate cloud application.

  • Convenient as the next step after the air sensor
  • The set of indicators depends on the specific revision
  • For automatic watering, first compare the readings with a manual soil test

Wi-Fi sensors

Most retail Wi-Fi sensors from Tuya and similar ecosystems depend on the manufacturer's cloud and do not let you configure GrowerHub MQTT. Suitable exceptions are devices with open local MQTT configuration and GrowerHub hardware.

Start with compatible equipment

Connect a coordinator and one Zigbee sensor first. You can add more devices later.
