xiao-soil-moisture-sensor-matter-thread

Open-source Matter-over-Thread firmware turning a $12 soil sensor into a native smart-home device.

Physical productfree

This is free, open-source Matter-over-Thread firmware for the roughly $12 Seeed Studio XIAO Soil Moisture Sensor, replacing its stock WiFi-based ESPHome firmware so it runs as a low-power, native Matter 1.5 Soil Sensor device with no cloud account or WiFi network required. It reports moisture and detailed battery health to Home Assistant, currently the only major ecosystem supporting this Matter device type, and flashing back to stock firmware is fully reversible. It targets smart-home users who own this sensor and a Thread border router.
