Further adventures with #HomeAssistant and #ESPhome show that a Dallas 1-wire temperature sensor can be wired up via a 4K7 and it just works! Greenhouse temperature now monitored, option to send "It's bloody cold out here you know" messages enabled. NZ-compliant wifi socket for the heater on order...

@vik you might also see if you can use a BLE device to measure temperature over #esphome. That should meet your hope of running a long time off a single CR2032 battery.

@vik you might be surprised with the range of BLE, especially compared to WiFi and given power consumption differences

@vik if you need more range, maybe you should look at #LoRa

@RoboticistDuck I have BLE devices, and they don't reach where I want to go.

@vik time for you to consider the #LoRa rabbit hole then 🕳 🐇

@RoboticistDuck I'd rather go the Zigbee route. Much pre-made stuff there, and I have other projects on!
