This is actually really helpful. I have a cheap one from Tuya, that also has a display, but the battery is empty after like 2 weeks and I don't wanna keep constantly changing it, so it's always off. This sounds like a great replacement.
I only go Tuya if there is absolutely no Zigbee alternative. I've got curtain bots on Tuya which were fine when it was one curtain but now they barely respond to automations anymore.
And you could probably replace whatever Tuya does with Esp32;)
We have this in the living room. It uses 3 AAA batteries and they're still 90% after several months.

Would you say they're accurate enough? Ive been thinking about getting something like this especially now that the temperature varies so much here in the UK.
I mean, that's where all my sensors are, and they're doing OK.
My outdoor sensors are classic 433mhz meteorology ones though, as I didn't want to mess around waterproofing zigbee gear.
Seems about right to me.
