Govee has a stand-alone WiFi/Bluetooth one that doesn’t need a gateway. $30. I use it as an alert if for some reason my main controller ever shit the bed. It’s been in the room since September 5th and still reporting full battery.

I’ve had a Govee H5179 sitting under my patio since Nov 2024. Battery life is good. Sensor seems good. HomeBridge addon works well. Haven’t tried it in HA yet. Only used the WiFi not BLE. Got it cheap. Seems to deal with Australian climate fairly well. I’m not sure it would be my best recommendation for 2026, but it has performed surprisingly well.
