RuuviTag or Can we use other cheaper wireless sensors from Amazon

Running a Pi 3B with github software. Love it! I want to add 5 wireless sensors to monitor systems on our boat. They are expensive and cheaper wireless sensors are available on Amazon or Ebay. Has any one had success with some of these? Ant.@svimpavidus.

Out there are a few different varieties of sht30 sensors. As fare as i know they all on address x44 and x45. So you need two different addresses then you can use two.

i found them pretty cheap on ali.
