| Not named | Partly works Local | Inaccurate humidity; condensation kills it in bathroomsSaved copyBosch or sensiron is what you want to look for in a high humidity environment like a bathroom. BME680 BME280 or if you don’t DIY, Aqara. Stay away from DHT and probably even AM2302 for bathrooms since the condensation will kill them quickly.

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.
