i got some of those plant sensors in coco peat and tonne granulat. Since they are calibrated for soil they never show nearly 100% when saturated, because the mediums have different water holding capacity. I use template sensors atm to scale/normalize them up to 100% from f.e. 60% max for coco peat and 40% for tonne granulat and this works great. I do this via another max statistics sensor that evaluates over the month, filtering the peaks. But a fixed scale factor would do too i guess. But you could even look for the last 3 or 10 max values in the data with a bit more logic.
Same is the case for conductivity. The values are lower than they should be, still following a reasonable curve.
Again, a lot of templating. For productive gardens this is especially a problem since you would like to keep the data from different plants separated, so you would have to create new template sensors for every year/harvest/run you do and really tie them to the plant and not to the sensor like the new plant sensor approach aimed for.
