Moisture Sensors

Does anybody make a moisture sensor for indoor house plants that is ready to go right out of the box and integrates easily with HE...no bridge etc. Zwave or Zigbee?

I have a couple outdoor Spruce ones...V2...but can't even find those for sale anywhere still.

I spotted these the other day, but haven't had time to investigate whether or not there's a Hubitat driver for them.

EDIT: REPORTED BAD DEVICE
After following @Hatallica 's link and reading other postings, this device is not recommended.

That looks similar to sensors described in this thread:

Check carefully, as there are "do not buy" recommendations somewhere around the 20th post.

You will likely come across, if not before, at some point, EcoWitt. The option to purchase a "gateway" for EcoWitt sensors, for the options you get, is realtively cheap, compared to other weather stations / sensor-related hubs. Just my 2c.... Obviously biased.... But hey, sue me :-p

It's a shame because those look perfect. Thanks!

Will look into it since it looks like there is a hole in the product market for something like this. Thanks!

Thanks. Shame because the price is really good.
