Wil this work with Homey without the Xiaomi gateway?

I totally agree, but he seemed excited about the type **with display** so I just pointed out a better screen solution, the Zigbee ones do not have a display, or at least I haven’t been able to find them.

The [Blitzwolf BW-IS4](https://m.blitzwolf.com/Temperature--Humidity-Sensor-p-445.html) has a display, and it’s a Zigbee device. I don’t think it’s supported by Homey yet, though.

Can you see the temperature readings in the start screen from Homey. Or do you have to click on the device?

Niet.

You have to click on the device.  
Unfortunately, one of the biggest flaws (in my opinion) in the Homey interface is this one.  
It brings down the experience for me anyways, such a polished app and after all these years, this is still ignored by the developers.  
Only the thermostats can show their setpoint value within their corresponding icon.
