I use zigbee mqtt
Which of course integrates with mosquito broker.
But I tied in my ecowitt weather station data via mqtt into the broker so I have it in HA. I did this with weewx . There’s an mqtt add-on
I also integrated my blue-iris NVR in to mqtt for motion detection, notifications for cameras.
Life360 integration to help automate things based on who’s home
I use esphome and have a bunch of sensors/devices. I track whole house power utilization, I have temp sensors on my HVAC to I can watch all its performance stats.
Here’s my ugly drawing that tracks inside/outside/basement temps, geothermal water loop temps, in/out furnace air temps, water heater state along with both it and the furnace realtime watts usage.
What weather station do you have? I looked at the ecowitt website, and I only see wifi transmission. I love the idea of getting good local weather data into my home assistant.
Also, how accurate have you found the haptic rain sensor to be? Rainfall amounts and frequency would be my favorite data to collect and analyze.
This has been sitting in my inbox and I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to draw the diagram. It made this a great comment to come back to now that I have my HA up and running.
