Weather Plus Verifiedhomebridge-weather-plus | Partly works | No dedicated plugin; cloud-only; sensors clutter Home app and update poorlySaved copyI have tried a couple of different ones, I have the WS2000 which uses the same console as the WS5000. It ends up junking up the Home app interface. Sensors are put in as small and greyed out boxes that aren't able to be included in the main screens of the app and gets wonky as hell about updating the actual readings. I used HOOBS, Home Assistant and tried to use Homebridge with MQTT plugin for Ambient Weather...none of them were really satisfactory.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
