How to integrate 4-20mA devices and 0-10V devices with Z-wave now that Fibaro smart implant 222 is discontinued

Hi,

I have been using Hubitat C-8 with the Fibaro 222 Smart Implant to integrate with all sorts of 0-10V and 4-20mA type sensors. Moisture in the garden, Water depth in the well, Water flowing (Hall effect), etc... Fun stuff. I don't normally use the relays on the 222.

It seems like the 222 is discontinued. Hard to find, getting more and more expensive. It doesn't look like the 223 can measure and report DC voltage.

What alternatives are out there to measure a DC voltage or Current and report back to the Hub through Z-wave?

I can muddle driver code and build circuits if someone has a design that work or wants to propose one. Ideal for me would be a real cheap DC sensor that could measure a range of voltages and current and report back with Z-wave.

Or am I approaching this incorrectly? Maybe Z-wave is for is for home automation and outside gardens/tiny farm usage should be built with some other technology than Z-wave? Why would Fibaro discontinue the 222 when there doesn't seem to be any other Z-wave device that can measure a DC voltage or current?

Thanks

You can have mine for postage.

Consider Hubduino project(s). This is WiFi but easy to build very nice DIY devices directly integrated with HE.

Shelly Uni Plus is awesome too. Local WiFi web socket integration via community driver.

Thanks for both answers. Shelly Uni Plus looks easier for the moment. Hubduino looks amazing if I can think of some really great use case.
