Looking for temp/humidity sensors that can be wall-powered (feddit.de)

After running HA for 2 years and tinkering with the stuff I already had, it was time to extend the little machine via Zigbee. I got an Aqara Temp/Humidity/Pressure sensor, which in itself works fine. It just chewed through 30% of battery in 4 days. Now that might be an issue with placement and signal strength (basement through 2 floors), but it doesn't bode well unless it "levels out" at some point.

Which brings me to my actual question: does anyone know any such sensors that are wall-powered in any way? Something that can be plugged in and "forgotten" about?

and the battery sensors plummet almost immediately to 70%

Interesting, thanks. I've hit the 70% yesterday, let's see when/if it moves from there any time soon.
