      Hello everybody,
      I would like to know the temperature/humidity in 3 points of the house (one also outside).
      Could you recommend both the WiFi sensor and the module to be used on MM?

      If it can be useful soon I should buy a NEST Audio …

      Thank you all.

        @Egnos I’d look to see what’s supported in the 3rd party modules, and work backwards from there… that being said, for outside modules, go with Davis or other commercial products, and use something like an iframe tool, I use MMM-HTMLSnippet - and just grab the panel I want from Davis’ choices.

        https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules#utility--iot--3rd-party--integration

        In this picture, the “internal” and “room” temps are provided by MMM-Temperature via i2c/Stemma QT modules (Room being a BME 280 from Adafruit, Internal is a HTU21 also from Adafruit)

        The big panel is MMM-HTMLSnippet.

        CSS is modified a lot to fit my theming.

          Thank you very much @BKeyport and I find your environment very ingenious!
          I was looking for something less complex, the sensors you mentioned must still be connected to Arduino/RPI…if I’m not mistaken!

          I was hoping there were temperature sensors that would connect to Google Home and some module was able to take this information and display it on the MM.
          But I think it’s science fiction! ;-)

            no, it’s vendors protecting their data, regardless of what the users want…

            I have ecobee, w motion sensors… why should I need another motion sensor?

              You might want to have a look at https://tinyurl.com/WiFi-Temp-7-Humidity-Sensor. I have one on order so will have to wait and see if it does as advertised.

                @Egnos the internal and room sensors are connected, yes. However, the outdoor sensors is actually not connected to anything. Solar powered, wireless to it’s controller, which then is connected to my network and uploaded to a website to create the panel.

                  Motion sensor?!
                  Is the HUB done by the thermostat for all Ecobee sensors?
                  Which module do you use for Ecobee?

                  The link takes me to the “home” of AliExpress, could you put the correct link?
                  How do you think to share the info of this sensor with MM?

                  So they can be physically not connected to the RPI.
                  Could you tell me the type of sensor and how it connects (power supply, WiFi, etc …)?
                  How do you bring the information of these external sensors on the local network and then in the browser?

                  Thank you all for valuable information! :folded_hands:

                    @Egnos all ecobee have motion detection in their thermostat and room sensors. that’s how they know the room is occupied… and could be used in temp averaging.

                      Ah ok!
                      Does the HUB for these sensors do the thermostat?
                      What module do you use?

                      Thanks

                        @sdetweil : Sam, it sounds like you are integrating your Ecobee with your MagicMirror - true? If so, can you tell us how you get the data out of the Ecobee? I looked at it some time ago, and it appeared Ecobee uses [used?] a wireless band separate from basic WiFi, and I saw no way to tap into the information stream. I would be tempted to take another look at integrating data from the Ecobee into MagicMirror if feasible.
