These are the sensors I use to measure temperature and humidity inside and outside my house.
Well, I will be moving soon to a new house and so before I disassemble everything, I thought that I would leave some thoughts here for others that may or may not be interested in these.
The sensors: Xiaomi Mi Smart Temperature and Humidity Sensor
The gateway: Xiaomi Gateway 1 (no longer available so linking to 2 that looks the same)
My setup:
Sensors -> Gateway -> Openhab -> influxdb -> Grafana
In the new house, I will drop Openhab and start over with HomeAssistant.
First, the batteries. They did well. But I see after about a year and 2 months (give or take) they are now finally starting to drop.
Next, they showed me the fridge I suspected not working properly anymore...well really wasn't working good enough. At the end of 2018 we got rid of the Defy (sold it for R500 as-is saying its not cooling as it should) and bought a Bosch. You can see the fridge temperature dropping and becoming a nice solid line.
Also, On the humidity for the fridge, its interesting to note 3 weeks in August and again 7 days at the end of December, the humidity line of the Fridge is solid. That's when we were away from home, so not opening the fridge at all.
Hope you enjoyed reading this post!
