I checked the Zigbee2MQTT implementation - unfortunately, there is no second temperature sensor exposed also.
The humidity reading are off by a factor of 10?

Thank you for checking @kkossev!
Yes, humidity appears to be off by a factor of 10. I re-paired to HE and watered to verify.
I've messaged the seller - but I'm unlikely to get anywhere with it.
Another seller named "yieryi Offical Store" (not to be confused with "yieryi Exclusive Store" that I ordered this unit from ) is adamant that the one they sell reports 2 temps:
Will see when it arrives if it is a different model.
I'm really after a combo standalone sensor that provides soil temp instead of air temp. I'll have to experiment a bit to see if this current unit reports soil vs air temp - I tried with warm water last night but it responded very slowly.
On a positive note, the temps and humidity readings coming from it last night via Tuya integration matched the blue-wrapped soil sensor from the other thread closely. I had it stuck in opposite sides of the same pot.
Red lines: This tube sensor. Light Green line and Light Blue line: the blue wrapped sensor:
Update: yieryi Exclusive Store got back to me:
Hopefully the other seller truly has has stock of the 2 temperature model.
Update: I would not buy from either of these sellers - their units are false advertising 2 temperatures and the first seller has not been willing to refund any portion of the purchase for their error without contravening AliExpress process - i.e. they wanted me to wait out the protection period before processing a refund.
I received the second sensor but it sadly is also only capable of reporting one temperature.
It also appears after more testing that these sensors report air temperature and not soil temperature so this has been a complete waste of money for my needs.
My search for a single multi sensor with direct Zigbee connection continues.
@kkossev would you please be able to add this sensor to your driver?
Thanks
I have added this device to a new group 'TS0222_Soil'
The dev. branch version is '1.6.7', '2024/10/23 8:11 PM'. Please let me know if it works or needs more corections.
This device also declares Zigbee illuminance, does it have a light sensor?
Thank you so much kkossev. The updated driver appears to be working fine.
Yes, this sensor does have an illuminance sensor - reportedly with a much higher upper limit than the other "indoor" sensors included in the driver (65K lux).
I'm assuming that the driver just reports the illuminance value sent by the device - there are no range limits in the driver?
I haven't been able to test the light sensor much and try to get the upper level light limits but it does report data.
Thanks again.
Here is yet another soil sensor; could you please add it?
I'm experimenting with drip watering fruit trees and the other sensors I've worked with can't seem to communicate well. Using zigbee, I can put a router out to improve communication a lot.
It's this device:
Included in the latest dev. branch ver. 1.6.8 2024-11-17 "
Please update the driver manually and let me know if it works.
Just installed dev. branch ver. 1.6.8 2024-11-17 to test the _TZE284_sgabhwa6.
It seems to work, but I haven't seen the battery state show up yet. The temperature looks correct and so does the humidity. I have the usual situation where the humidity appears wrong, so I tested it with water.
The more I submerge the probes into water, the higher the reading. I get around 90 when they are almost totally underwater and around nothing when they are out of any water at all. Since I live in the desert, totally dry soil is a very real possibility. The ground can get well over 130F and there would be no moisture at all at the depth of the probes. The relative humidity of air is often below 15% (Yes, that can cause the skin to itch).
So, sticking it in the ground below a lemon tree that has just been watered reads 21% with an ambient night time (fall) temperature of 56F. That sounds reasonable to me since it isn't sitting in a glass of water on a workbench. I'll know more as the ground dries and I get more data.
I noticed that other people had some difficulty with battery state; did you implement anything for battery reporting in the soil sensors?
And, Thank you for adding it to the configuration. Much appreciated.
Yes, there is code processing potential battery-level reports, but it depends on the device whether and when these reports will be sent. Unfortunately, most of the Tuya TS0601 model reporting intervals are hardcoded and can not be configured from the Zigbee interface.
It's pretty easy to live without a battery level attribute if there is some way to interrogate the device to see if it's alive. That is there in your code, just ping it and see if it responds. So, when I figure out how to do that automatically once a day or so, I'll know if the device is working or not.
These things have three AA batteries in them, so they should last months or maybe a year, so there's not much worry.
Thanks again. Now, to go figure out how to ping it automatically.
is this really not battery operatored and needs 220v input?
So it will.work.in 120v. Amazon doesnt say much about it other than 220v. What is the temp range?
@kkossev,
Could you please add support for this device, thank you!

Update of temp/humidity value seems slow, but can be forced to update by pressing a button on the device!
Also, the clock is currently not displayed on the device?
Hi @iEnam ,
You can try the latest update - ver. 1.6.8 '2024/11/19 9:20 PM'.
@kkossev
Can we get an option for this to have temp and humidty offset?
At the moment, the temperature and humidity offsets are shown only when the 'Аdvanced Options' is switched on.
But, actually, there is nothing advanced in adding or subtracting a constant... so in the next driver update I will move these two preferences outside of the 'Advanced' group, so they are always visible.
