Always knowing the temperature and humidity is a very French passion, it seems. A passion that has reached many home automation users. the Orvibo ST30 temperature and humidity sensor allows users of Jeedom or Home Assistant to know in real time, the temperature and humidity of a room.
With a digital screen, the information can be viewed without having to connect to the Home Assistant interface. It communicates via the Zigbee protocol, which we really appreciate and, thanks to it, you will be able to create multiple automations, to manage your heating, air conditioning and VMC ...

Orvibo ST30: installation and use on home automation box
We tried to introduce this thermometer to theAmazon Echo Plus 2nd generation which has a ZigBee bridge. Without success, Alexa fails to detect it. For Jeedom, this device is compatible with the Zigate plugin and the official Zigbee plugin from the Jeedom team via Zigate and Conbee II dongles. It is also compatible with the box Eedomus +, provided of course that you have added the ZigBee protocol.
As far as we are concerned, we have opted for the environment that interests us the most: Home Assistant. Pairing is carried out thanks to the ZigBee ConBee II key, and the add-on deCONZ.
On Home Assistant via deCONZ
- Log in to fromCONZ.
- Then go to " sensors " and start a search.
- Long press the small button above the thermometer and in a few seconds, the device is operational.
Strangely enough, we don't see the entity in the CONZ add-on, but when we go into Configuration> Integration> deCONZ> Devices, the entity is present. We had observed the same phenomenon for the light detector Xiaomi Mi Light Detection Sensor.
Rename the device to find it better.
Three entities are available as you can see:
- humidity
- Temperature
- Battery level
You are ready to create your automations, charts, etc ...
