After running HA for 2 years and tinkering with the stuff I already had, it was time to extend the little machine via Zigbee. I got an Aqara Temp/Humidity/Pressure sensor, which in itself works fine. It just chewed through 30% of battery in 4 days. Now that might be an issue with placement and signal strength (basement through 2 floors), but it doesn’t bode well unless it “levels out” at some point.

Which brings me to my actual question: does anyone know any such sensors that are wall-powered in any way? Something that can be plugged in and “forgotten” about?

    I do find that they go to sleep fairly often. I changed the temp update setting to the smallest value and it updates fairly regularly. If the temp doesn’t change much I don’t think you get an update.
