I think the OP said they were looking for temperature and humidity indoors, so I don't think an outdoor weather station quite fits the bill as well as being an order of magnitude too expensive! :( There are quite a few battery-powered T+H sensors with wi-fi, but I'm not up to date with which ones can be intercepted to provide data directly rather than uploading to a 'cloud'. Certainly some emonTH plus an emonBase from https://shop.openenergymonitor.com/ would do the job, but I expect there are other alternatives > I have one and the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) is placed > about 100 meters from the console.
