Temperature / Humidity / Pressure Sensor

Hardware
1

Hello
I’m looking for some hardware device for a temperature & Humidity sensor. Does someone have any experience with the following requirements:
1.) The device can be Zigbee, Tasmota or ESP. Not Bluetooth. I have all three protocols running.
2.) With or without a display screen.
3.) Preferably it would plug into an AC outlet, however I’m willing to go with battery powered if required.
4.) The device will come pre-built. All I’ll have to do is turn it on and integrate it with Home Assistant.
5.) If there’s any other things you can think of, please feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

I’ve been using several of these devices for quite some time now:
Aqara WSDCGQ11LM control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT

These are the sensor entities you get with them:

And you can even calibrate and define the reporting precision in Zigbee2MQTT directly:

Hello
Thanks for the info. I noticed on Amazon that the device say’s it needs a Zigbee Hub, but I’m using a Zigbee dongle to control my Sengled bulbs, so I don’t think I need the hub?

Zigbee Dongle = Zigbee Hub
Two different names for the same thing.

i think the most important thing is that it should be a good one… having temperature and humidity while they numbers are incorrect are useless… calibration could be possible but how to calibrate it if you do not have a trustworthy device?

Good point, but I just wanted to point out that calibration is possible - I don’t use it because the sensors are good enough for my purpose.

Overall, I’m a big fan of the Aqara kit - except for the vibration sensors, they are basically useless :frowning_face:

So I built my own using a BME280 Sensor and ESP8266 to be able to get that insight with in my home.

I’ve used one of the BME280 sensors in my garage, however I wanted something that was packaged nicely and I could leave lying around the house or plugged into a wall outlet.
