WSMS#1 - Wireless Sensor to control garden irrigation with ESPHome and Home Assistant

In this video I explain one of my current projects. I would like to build and use wireless soil mositure sensors in the garden outside, to control the irrigation.
Everything should be integrated into my house automatization which is based on KNX in combination with Home Assistant.
