I'm in the process of building a custom terrarium that will eventually house a leopard gecko. I'm looking for some small, inexpensive devices to monitor temperature and humidity in the tank via Home Assistant so I can set up some alerts. Any recommendations?

If you have a Bluetooth proxy setup you can get Switchbot devices pretty cheap. They have an outdoor temp/humidity sensor for ~$15. I bought a pack of 3 for $36.

Bluetooth proxy can easily be setup with esphome and a ~$10 esp32

Agreed, switchbot has been working for a while great in my hermit crab terrarium
