| rtl_433 (MQTT) | Works Local | Good coverage, 16s transmit; batteries last 4 to 18 monthsSaved copyRTL-SDR dongle, RTL\_433 software (uses MQTT to integrate with HA), Acurite 06002M and 06044M sensors. Great signal coverage, even with the basic antenna. Transmit regularly (every 16 seconds). Batteries last 4-6 months if I use NiMH, 12+ months with alkaline, 18+ months with lithium.
