Hi All,

Looking for quite some time for a temperature sensor with external probe. I would like it to use Zigbee or Z-wave.  
I can find Shelly, BleBox using WiFi. I don’t want to depend on WiFi.

The only one I can find seems to be Fibaro with the Implant. Yet this requires some cabling for both the sensor and power.

Looking for a sensor that has for example a 5Volt USB connector and a 3meter external probe. Looking for a more “all-in-one solution”.  
Can you share if you found something that is compatible with by request above?

I can find some Tuya compatible sensors but it’s always unsure if these are fully supported.
