Sorry if this is a newb question; I’m coming in cold. I’ve had HAOS running on an RPi4 for months, but I haven’t invested in any smart devices to connect yet.

I’d like to start with some (ideally open source) smart gauges just to check the temp out front and back. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

    Grab yourself a Zigbee coordinator and some Zigbee Temperature Devices off AliExpress or from Ikea if you’re willing to pay more.

    I would recommend this product from Shelly https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-h-and-t-gen3-1

    Doesn’t no app or hub requried, works via wifi or bluetooth, has an e-ink display to conserve battery. I’ve had it since October and its been running without issue. Uses 4 AA batteries which I haven’t changed at all and are still above 75%!

    There’s a newer generation (I have the previous one) so I can only imagine its even better.
