The https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/ integration connects to sensors connected to arduino pro minis using cheap NRF24L01+ transmitters.
The project website is a bit difficult to navigate but an associated site has lots of hardware examples.
mysensors also runs on esp8266’s
hi
i am searching some info for transmiting data to HA over air distance max 1km
i will send info about bees : weight, temp, hum.
all hadrware is complete on ESPhome and work over wifi only at home, but the bees are a 1km out of house . please give me more info .thy in andvace
As I said in the post you quoted, I don’t use ESPHome. I’m afraid I can’t help with that.
There is ZWave Long Range as well . I don’t know how well or if at all it is supported with Home Assistant
You could try a YAGI. Under $10 on Aliexpress or there is a video for a home-brew one:
This is fairly new; not a lot of devices out there at the moment with this z-wave 800 chip.
But I believe Zooz would have the USB stick (search " ZST39 LR") with a 800 chip inside, available today (Feb-2023).
And then looks like Inovelli is about to roll out switch(es) with this z-wave 800 chip in a few more weeks (April?).
So I wouldn’t call this z-wave long range being “ready” just yet.
… Although it does has the potential… we will just have to see:
Sorry I don’t use Z-Wave LR but had garnered an impression it was implemented in the 700 series chip. There are a few node devices available.
