Introduction
This Plugin in currently only available in the latest build on github, but should in the next official release
The ESP module can read a soil Moisture sensor using the I2C protocol.
The sensor needs to be connected to a the I2C pins on the ESP module. These pins can be configured on the hardware tab.
Hardware
This Plugin works only for this soil moisture sensor: Tindie
The soil moisture sensor can be connected directly to an ESP module by using the two pins SDA and SCL.
Software
The plugin is heavily based on the work of this Arduino library
Custom Sketch
ESP Easy
Use the device tab on the ESP Easy webinterface and create a new task by editing one of the available tasks. Select "Moisture & Temperature & Light I2C Soil moisture sensor" from the dropdown box.
Enter the i2c address of you sensor, default value 0x20
