wireless Soil Sensor to Arduino

Greetings..

I have a project that asked me to use a Solar Panel Wireless Soil Sensor (edyn garden sensor) Picture is attached.
I need to connect between the sensor and the Arduino, so it will be reading from the sensor and be sent to Arduino, because the Arduino will be controlling a water pump that will work based on the Sensor reading.

My question is: how to connect the sensor will the arduino via wireless. I will be using Xbee.

Thank you..

So you want to take that off the shelf Wi-Fi sensor and hack it to make it an Xbee sensor?

The Home Depot reviews on that product are awful and it costs US$106.

For $106, I would consider buying or creating a purpose built Xbee product.

Are you wanting to hack it because the company no longer operates the Wi-Fi server service?

Soil moisture sensors are generally unreliable. Using one to automatically control a water pump could lead to serious problems.

At the very least you need several moisture sensors and to make decisions based on the combined readings.

I found this discussion because I have 2 of these sensors and a water valve that no longer work. Would love to hack them to make them useful again. @ee2019 have you opened these up yet? any luck on bypassing the the cloud service its trying to connect to?
