THIRDREALITY (3reality) Smart Soil Moisture Sensor not updating in hubitat (C-7)

Hi all,

I’ve successfully set up the Third Reality Soil Moisture Sensors with Hubitat hub (C-7) and can see RH%, battery, and temperature. However, they don’t seem to update regularly after the initial connection.

I’ve already moved the hub closer to the sensors and added a few Third Reality plugs to strengthen the Zigbee mesh, but updates are still infrequent.

Any suggestions to ensure the sensors report to Hubitat at least once daily?

Thanks in advance!

I would try this driver, it has settings for more frequent reports. It works with many Zigbee temp/humidity sensors and a soil moisture sensor is in the list (as soil moisture is really a humidity sensor).

Thank you so much. Your recommendation to use this driver worth. I can now confirm that I’m getting updates often.
