I'm by no means an expert, and I'm not sure what API keys you are referring to. I know that Tuya smart devices usually have two versions, a wifi and a Zigbee one. The wifi ones require you to add them using a terrible smartphone app, and the integration with Home assistant sucks. The Zigbee ones work like any other zigbee device, locally controlled. I have several Tuya Zigbee devices which works great, they are integrated in home assistant using zigbee2mqtt.

I have some cheap ass Tuya Zigbee sensors from AliExpress. In my experience they are reliable, quite small, i sill haven't changed the battery, and they are super cheap. Make sure you get the Zigbee ones, not the wifi version.

Vi har 6 måneder vinter, 4 måneder med regn og 8 grader, og om vi er heldige en uke eller to med sol og det som for store deler av verden kalles "vanlige" temperaturer. Ja jeg er også klam, ja jeg får ikke sove om kvelden og våkner opp gjennomsvett, ja jeg blir solbrent, men JEG LIKER DET! Jeg nekter meg selv å føle på noe annet enn glede over nok en dag med 28 grader og sol. Slutt å klag på det lille vi har av sommer og NYT SVETTEN!

Thanks! The buss data is pulled using the entur integration which gives access to real time info about all public transport it norway. There might be similar services for other countries.

 

Cheap e-ink screen from aliexpress, running esphome pulling data from home assistant every 30 seconds. It got time and date, temperatures, time untill the next buss leaves from the nearest bus stops, range on my car, power usage and price, and the three next items from me and my wifes shared google calendar. I got it framed professionally by a local framing workshop. They were a bit confused and hadn't done anything similar before, but they did a great job. My wife isn't always a big fan of my home automation adventures, but she loves this screen!
