Thanks for sharing. Do you have experience with them and the Ha integration?

Not OP, but I use these to monitor my plants. I use a HackRF and the following software to collect the data.

It works okay: it drops around 10% of the data due to reception issues, but I think it might be related the parameters I have set for the gain on the software defined radio.

Thanks and how is your experience with distance to your BT receiver? Any wall in between? BT does not have any mesh capability so I am wondering if I can realistically cover my whole terasse of 100sqm.

There are stone walls between, and they block reception pretty dramatically.

I need to position the receiver to have line of sight.

I use Bluetooth for lights which actually does work through the stone about 10 meters away, which doesn't make sense to be, but that's been my experience.
