Aqara temp sensors ftw. Generic Zigbee. No idea how they work with the Ikea hub, I use an smlight network-attached Zigbee coordinator that works great. The Third Reality temp sensors are pretty good, too, and I like that they use regular AAA batteries instead of coin batteries. Note however that battery-powered temp sensors may be problematic for outbuildings where the temps get super cold in the winter, when no one is in there. Not sure what AC powered options are available on the market.

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.

In ReReHome

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.
