Hi there! Very much looking forward to the device! I’m just starting to get into Home Assistant and I was wondering if the sensor would have any way to interact with HA devices? Possibly via Zigbee?

Hi there!
Great question!
We are planning an HA integration, it will most likely use the MQTT integration that HA already comes with (since we’re MQTT native anyway), so you shouldn’t need any extra hardware other than whatever machine you run HA on.
I’m not sure if that will make it into the v1 release - we are focused on getting hardware finalized so we can start shipping with the minimum feature set - but it will be in a firmware update coming sometime after shipping.
I’m also setting up an HA system at my new house, so this is something that will be a priority for me once we have our basic feature set working and we get our hardware back from the factory!
Also, to answer the inevitable, yes, we’re planning the HA integration to be cloudless.
My hope for that feature is to be able to support a connection to our cloud service with a simultaneous connection to whatever local MQTT system you like. There are a few things I need to work out in our firmware to make that happen (it only supports one connection at a time, currently), but that’s my goal for it.
