Temperature/humidity sensor

Everyone seems so keen on wireless temperature and humidity sensors but I want to use a basic wired system for this purpose since everything is happening inside the Solar Shed.

The Victron temp. sens. are running fine but can I connect a more basic humidity sensor to the Cerbo GX in the same way?

Thanks

Not with off the shelf components and native firmware.

Ruuvi works flawlessly on my system, it is not on a mission critical value so no concern using Bluetooth.

Thanks, I just don't like using wireless when it is totally unnecessary, I'm very much a "hardware person" but I guess the market is forcing us to do what they decide is best for them.

Please @pwfarnell , can you give me a part number or a link?

How reliable is the bluetooth comm? Do you have them in direct sight, or must pass some walls?

In fact, I want to monitor the panels temperature, putting them on the back of the PVs and the signal must pass the concrete ceiling above which the PV are sitting, Cerbo being in the room below the ceiling.

Thank you!

@Logic28 I’ve used the Shelly plus 1PM not sure if that’s any better via WiF?
