I don't see why you say that. If you can put in a POE access point, and have it be reliable, that seems like a huge win, and could be worth it. > you saying that there are ones I can buy that will, in principle, just > work? Thanks. Yes, these sensors are inexpensive and reasonably reliable. They take 2 AA batteries and transmit temp/humid on 433 MHz, which rtl_433 with an rtl-sdl can receive. Picking the manufacturer site rather than a shopping link: https://www.acurite.com/temperature-and-humidity-sensor-06002rm-592txr.html There is also one that does temp/humid and lightning, but it needs 4 batteries, costs more, is bigger, and the rtl_433 support for it is I would say only 90%. https://www.acurite.com/lightning-detector-with-temperature-and-humidity.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
