Standalone sensor setup outside of HA range?

Hi,

I am wondering how to use a temperature sensor in a car with the following constraints:

  • not always connected to HA main hub (for example needs to work when car is out of range of my HA setup)
  • still show up in HA dashboard (not necessarily real time, can be a history update only when in range of HA setup)
  • minimum energy consumption (don’t want to drain my car battery :rofl:)
  • assumeing car is not Android auto and not connected

Like a temp sensor on an esp32 on battery that would store measurements, and update HA dashboard when in range…
How to connect to it from phone when out of range though ?
Maybe there already exists some hardware that can do that ?
Any idea much appreciated
