They transmit on 433 MHz so who knows? rtl_433/Accurite-600TXC/185: { "time":"2026-08-0105:01:44", "model":"Acurite-609TXC", "id":185, "battery_ok":1, "temperature_F":75.38, "humidity":45, "status":2," mic":"CHECKSUM"} There is another one but it doesn't have humidity so I don't pass it to the mqtt broker. I wonder if it's near a lawn sprinkler. weather.gov has Humidity 28% and 81°F. https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433 It handles a load of protocols but I specified 11 so I only see the Accurite data. I should run it wide open and see what else is lurking around.
