Outdoor Temperature Sensor (lemmy.world)

I'd like to get an outdoor Temperature Sensor that can be used with HA and Google Home. Anyone have any recommendations?

It's really easy. The rtl_sdr software interprets the info and passes out to HA. There's an add-on that scans that info and looks for devices it recognizes, and adds then to HA as a sensor. You'll get weather, tire pressure monitors, and other things.

Yup! In addition to temperature/humidity sensors, I'm also pulling in my gas meter and my home security sensors(I was using a big-name security company, but when my contract was up I kept the sensors installed and tapped into them with my SDR)
