Esp8266 and bme280? #24

Related but not specifically- Has anyone created their own ecobee sensors using an Esp8266 and bme280 that somehow integrates with ecobee? I did a quick (really quick) google and didn’t see anything.

Try not so quick google search for Homebridge plugins for ESP8266 and you might be more lucky. Also, I’m not sure how exactly do you want to integrate ESP8266 and BME260 with Ecobee.

Thanks. I am already using homebridge-mcuoit (esp8266) and homebridge-bme280 (RPIz) and those work well for stand-alone temp/humidity sensors. What I was asking and searching for was if anyone has figured a way to integrate something like that with the Ecobee thermostats - so instead of shelling out $80 for two additional Ecobee sensors I would prefer to create some using <$10 worth of parts (ESP01+BME280). Essentially I would like to leverage the FollowMe and other temperature averaging capabilities that the Ecobee thermostats use in conjunction with their sensors. I figured that could be a good addition to this plugin perhaps...
