does it work if you use a simple switch (or simple pushbutton to Vcc) instead of the sensor?

I didn't try with a switch, what I noticed was that although in the code GPIO0 was set high, when the chip was plugged in this was not being detected with my multimeter, going to check out the deep sleep way mentioned earlier.

Is it still required to solder post-sleep-reset-pin to reset and remove the LED ? Struggling to find info on how to power up the sensor on wake up as well if you have any info on this.

Wake - power up the sensor - check soil - enable WiFi if soil is dry - report - go back to sleep.
