ZigbeeWorks LocalAccurate vs calibrated hygrometers; only downside is size
Saved copy
I have a thirdreality temp/humidity sensor in my electric humidor and it has proven to be quite accurate compared to my other six calibrated hygrometers. AAA batteries, also zigbee. In my opinion the only downside is size. It’s not huge but it’s not exactly tiny either. No regrets.

ZigbeeWorks LocalUses AAA batteries, about $20

Third Reality temperature and humidity sensor runs on Zigbee, uses common AAA batteries. They are about $20 on Amazon but often cheaper with lightning deals or Prime Day.

ZigbeeWorks LocalUsed with a splash-proof outdoor model

What options did the LLMs bring up that aren't DIY? Honestly, if you're willing to use Zigbee or Thread sensors that take AAA betteries (you could use rechargeable ones) you would have several good off-the-shelf options that work for a long time. I use Third Reality temperature and humidity sensors and a splash-proof one from Sonoff in the shower. They use AAA batteries.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
