Since we’re based in the Netherlands, I’m Dutch as well. So no language barriers here! The Ventus W830 looks like a very impressive product, but I noticed it isn’t compatible with Homey. Does this mean we’d have to use an API to retrieve data from the device? I saw a discussion about this on the forum here: [Ambient Weather Station Discussion](https://community.homey.app/t/ambient-weather-station/54652). The Shelly solution also sounds interesting, though I have to admit my technical knowledge stops there. We’re planning to equip our warehouses with sensors (see: [Airthings View Plus](https://www.airthings.com/en/view-plus)), but unfortunately they don’t offer an outdoor sensor option. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/looking-for-a-reliable-powered-temperature-sensor/131202)._
