I would like a soil moisture sensor similar to what Ambient Weather offers.

I also would love this… Will weatherflow have something like this or similarly to ambient’s?
This seems like something that would tie in really well with your shiny new Rachio integration…

Completely agree. Seems like the collaboration with Rachio makes these inevitable (hopefully).

A paired soil moisture sensor would be a great addition to the system. If the App could calculate soil moisture deficit even better. The ability to add a user offset to the moisture deficit to suit the type of garden you have, even better.

Absolutely essential with Rachio integration. I would suggest the ability to read multiple (5-10) wireless soil moisture sensors that could be associated with Rachio watering zones.

I totally agree, with Solar for recharging battery.
Would be great. Hope the wiring would be far easier than the Davis stations. I had a Davis EnviroMonitor Node with a Soil Moisture Sensor, That thing was a pain to wire in and had trouble getting it to register properly. Also, Mobilize could show wet/dry conditions from the sensor but not push alerts telling us when we needed to water (which was a glaring omission). The alerts would be super-useful.
Leaf Wetness sensor would be good too.
Tempest could also offer a cellular option for Tempest One/enterprise/agriculture customers in places without Wi-Fi.
Davis Mobilize was doing Crop and Pest Management, but development has pretty much stalled on it. Might be a good feature in a variant of Tempest One for agriculture.
They already do. TempestOne Cellular Hub
