Could you please let me know which reliable wired zigbee temperature /humidity sensors are available on the market ?

For many reasons I'm sick of my sonoff and aqara devices...

Ikea have one, but it's 39$ per unit, not sure it's worth its price...

And I do have a lot of appolo mmwave sensors, but lets simply say they are NOT reliable to beused as temperature sensors, as the heat of the device itself is raising the temperatures and each device needs to be calibrated (and will eventually heat even more depending on the season).

Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

Wired zigbee?

#

No such thing. Zigbee is a wireless protocol. The Aqara sensors work flawlessly for me. Perhaps there is something wrong with your mesh?

no, not zigbee.. wired in the sense, you put it in a power socket, like you do with a ton of devices ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

the only devices that keeps juming out of my zigbee network are the battery powered devices

#

and I already did all the zigbee optimizations possible, really, I totally disabled 2.4ghz wifi at home, I have a ton of routers, flashed my controllers with several firmwares, even changes controller types, these devices are a pain in the back and keeps disconnecting

#

always these damn temperature / humidity sensors ^^

So you want a mains powered zigbee temperature sensor? I'm not aware of any. What is your passive device availability set to?

well, I believe this thing will report temperature, humidity and quality of air, but it cost 39 euros (and one per room start to cost, really) : https://www.ikea.com/be/nl/p/vindstyrka-luchtkwaliteitsensor-smart-00498231/

#

I will check the device availability settings one more time, but I did create a stupid automation already to make sure to query the devices 5 minutes right within home assistant, and it didn't keep them online :

seriously, I have a quite decent Z2M network, but the battery powered devices keeps disconnecting. I wonder if I shouldn't pay the price and go for these IKEA devices, but 9 times 40 bucks seem a little excessive ๐Ÿ˜‰
