Dropping some science on the garden today.

I've been testing a pair of these plant sensors for the last few weeks and decided they were useful enough to get more. During testing I found that sensor 2 showed odd readings for light level. Placed right next to each other, when the light level was below 10k both sensors showed approximately the same value, but above 10k sensor 2 was off by a factor of about 2.75. It still followed the same pattern, so it seems like a calibration error.

I got 6 more sensors and placed them all next to each other. Now I'm giving the sensors a chance to stabilize and accumulate data. We'll see how consistent the readings are before putting them in their final locations.

What kind of data is being generated? Could u post a screen shot of the GUI interface if it has one?

Numeric values for each reading. This is the basic Home Assistant card.

Tapping any of those readings will open the basic Home Assistant graph. It can show more history but takes a few extra taps. You can see here the spike in soil moisture after I watered the sensors.
