Support Zigbee Sensors with soil_moisture cluster for eWeLink CUBE

Ideas & Suggestion Feature Request

Hi @yitie ,
I don’t know if this topic is still active, but I would like to inform you that I tested Tuya Soil temperature and humidity sensor (_TZE200_myd45weu) and it doesn’t work as expected: it shows only the temperature and not the umidity (device category = temperatureSensor). Here a debug of the sensor:

{
   "serial_number":"0xa4c13869d3ac0991",
   "name":"Plant Temperature Sensor",
   "manufacturer":"_TZE200_myd45weu",
   "model":"TS0601",
   "firmware_version":"1",
   "display_category":"temperatureSensor",
   "capabilities":[
      {
         "capability":"temperature",
         "permission":"read"
      },
      {
         "capability":"battery",
         "permission":"read"
      }
   ],
   "protocol":"zigbee",
   "app_name":null,
   "state":{
      "temperature":{
         "temperature":18,
         "updated_at":1714856777264
      },
      "battery":{
         "battery":80,
         "updated_at":1714856777512
      }
   },
   "tags":null,
   "online":true
}

Do you think it will be fixed or I have to buy another device?

Thanks

Hey @misternails3,

A bit of offtopic:
How do you get this kind of debug JSON for a given sensor?

Thanks

Hi, you need this very basic workflow:

@ward: I upgrade iHost to 2.0.0 version but as you can see above, the sensor is still a temperature one, so it seems there is no way to colelct also humidity data,

Thanks.

Hey,

Is this the model you’ve got?

Hi, I have this one:

I see what could be the issue:

Tuya reports humidity as soil_moisture, let me talk with our dev and see if we can have a workaround for it.

thx

hey

It uses a customzed entity: soil_moisture which is not supported by iHost at the moment. We will consider expending supported entities after a major update in core features.

Do you mind my turning your needs into a feature request so other users can vote?

Created. And I’m voting for it too as I have a similar model that Tuya gateway does not support to expose it to Matter. :rofl:
