I'm looking around for DC or USB powered thermometers but I can't seem to find any. Granted, the battery powered ones last many years, but I'm looking to keep my options open. Zigbee devices are preferable. Anyone know?

Like actual thermometer or temperature sensor?

I have so sooo many temperature sensors in my network. Thermostats ($15) plant moisture sensors ($3-$6 from overseas but battery) my window AC unit apparently has several sensors home assistant picked up, a cheap air quality monitor, temp/relay units, and a smart humidifier.

Seems a waste to build dedicated hardware when cheap options just bundle temp sensors willy-nilly.
