I'm attempting to add a no-name chinese solar wifi soil sensor to my HA server and have a couple questions. I was able to pair the device to the Smart Life app, add the Tuya integration to HA, link my Smart Life account to the HA integration, and recognize the device from that integration.

The device in the Smart Life app shows sensor readings for temperature, moisture, and nutrient levels, but the only sensor reading available in HA is temperature.
So I guess I have 2 questions:

How to get HA to recognize the other sensors from this device?
Is there any way directly connect a device like this to HA without linking to a Smart Life account?
