wifi Temperature gauges? (lemmy.ml)

Sorry if this is a newb question; I'm coming in cold. I've had HAOS running on an RPi4 for months, but I haven't invested in any smart devices to connect yet.

I'd like to start with some (ideally open source) smart gauges just to check the temp out front and back. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Zigbee is mentioned all the time. Guess I'll have to look into them...

I've tried a few other ZigBee Coordinators and this is the only one I can really suggest. Home Assistant even has their own that used to be called Sky Connect. I was having things randomly drop off my network with Sky Connect.

Get the one that has experimental Matter-over-thread support for future-proofing. You can even get it with POE support if that's helpful for you.
