Hello,  
I have 5 Aqara temperature sensors. The main problem is that I need to grab my phone and check the temperature in t  
he specific room.  
Is there some easy way to display the temperature from Aqara sensors? I want 5 displays in rooms where will be the data visible from each room.

Thanks!

That will be very expensive because I will need 5 tablets for each room. I would like to see temperature on the displays in each room. Example: I have in the bedroom 1xAqara temperature sensor and I want display in bedroom which shows this temperature. I have in the living room also 1x Aqara and also I want to see this temperature on the display in living room.

Great device, but also not cheap.

That’s too expensive. But Yes it’s a way.

I am thinking about homeyduino. I found this [Homeyduino display](https://community.homey.app/t/homeyduino-display/24843) but there isn’t a detailed tutorial. It looks cheap and functional.

@Thomas_Buran Ask @rindler the information you need in the post you mentioned, most info is already there. ESP8266 can easy be flashed by Arduino IDE on a PC, there is a learning curve but it is fun to do.

I think the cheapest option is, you’d just buy other sensors, [like this f.i.](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMUhPvN) (Xiaomi Bluetooth)

[Or this](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOoVVsb) (Tuya zigbee)

Not supported, so it’s not the cheapest option.

So guys I made a decision. I bought [LOLIN D1 Mini V3.1.0 - WEMOS WIFI Internet of Things Board based ESP8266](https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?orderId=8136441860823574&productId=32529101036&edm_click_module=order_detail&tracelog=rowan&rowan_id1=destinationArriveV2_1_en_US_2021-08-13&rowan_msg_id=3574813644186081%24eeaad66fe9e247c8a6a0eb7281b26dd9&ck=in_edm_other) and [TFT 2.4 Touch Shield V1.0.0 for LOLIN (WEMOS) D1 mini 2.4" inch 320X240 SPI Touch Screen](https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?orderId=8136441860833574&productId=32919729730&edm_click_module=order_detail&tracelog=rowan&rowan_id1=destinationArriveV2_1_en_US_2021-08-13&rowan_msg_id=3574813644186081%24eeaad66fe9e247c8a6a0eb7281b26dd9&ck=in_edm_other). I already have 3D printer so I should print some sexy box 😃 …I still don’t have a solution for power source (batteries or some adapter) but that’s problem of my future myself. 🤟

Hi @Thomas_Buran  
I am currently developing a battery powered 3 color e-ink display for Homey that you can easily place anywhere in your home. You will be able to show and update any value from your Homey on the display. Does this match what you are looking for?

Yes that’s it what I was looking for. But now I’m not sure if I need it necessary. Now I have that TFT display with ESP8266 and it shows temperature in house, outdoor temperature, time and bitcoin value. 😃 Now it’s all I need. But I’m very curious about your project.
