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.
