Please help me with AliExpress soil moisture sensors

I’m a pretty big amateur when it comes to these things.

I bought a couple zigbee soil moisture sensors from Aliexpress and I’m having trouble getting them to work. I found some drivers from a SmartThings thread that seemed to have worked for other soil sensors from AliExpress. From my understanding, once I have the driver’s if I disconnect and reconnect to the sensor it should grab the correct driver, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I have also tried manually selecting drivers with different settings and can’t seem to get it orkings

Below are the drivers I have added

I tried follow these steps but I see this

AliExpress is just the platform where you buy things, like eBay. So different sellers offer different brands and models there. What works for one won’t necessarily work for another. :man_shrugging:t2:

Yes I realize that, but I’m hoping by posting the devices information someone can guide me in the right direction.

I tried following those steps but when I select the temperature and humidity profile I get this message

No matter how long I wait the device won’t update with the profile. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting it several times

At that point tap the back button to the screen before and then tap on the device again, it should have refreshed.

Unfortunately I’ve tried that dozens of times, I’ve also exited the app entirely and gone back in, as well as move the device right next to the hub. I still keep getting the same message when I open the device in SmartThings. I’ve also unpaired/paired it 6+ times

Post your request for help in the following thread with your cluster info and ask the developer @w35l3y for help.

use wesleys driver (personal tuya devices- main)
set it as a temp and humidity sensor.
go to setting and put it as normal for profile.
manufacturer select tze200_yjjdcq… i found if this isnt selected, then the temp decimal is off and everything will be in the 100s.
dp for humidity is 3
dp for temp is 5
dp for batt is 15

then it should update after a while. i got 4 of these things and theyve been working ok.
