ESP Soil Moisture Sensor #181

Open madrose opened 5 years ago

madrose commented 5 years ago

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

Is it possible to add a support for the following sensor: https://www.tindie.com/products/aprbrother/esp-soil-moisture-sensor-rev-21/ This sensor uses TMP112 with I2C which is not support by default Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

I have tried to create a custom sensor but that turned out to be more complex than it seems for my beginner C++ programming skills.

I have also checked https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/179 but such an emplementation will be limited to the manual calculation for the moisture but will miss the temp sensor (tmp112)

Being a fan of ESPHome and I have implemented it through out my home it only makes sense to have a proper implementation for such a device.

thanks in advance.

The soil moisture calculation will already work as per #179.

So this feature request is about the TMP112 specifically.

madrose commented 5 years ago

I guess that should be the case. tmp112 is not implemented.

But what is the template

What is the use case of that one over the xiaomi plant sensor?
