I am a little curious where the outdoor temperature/humidity so I can 
thank the provider. They transmit on 433 MHz so who knows?

rtl_433/Accurite-600TXC/185: {
"time":"2026-08-0105:01:44",
"model":"Acurite-609TXC",
"id":185,
"battery_ok":1,
"temperature_F":75.38,
"humidity":45,
"status":2,"
mic":"CHECKSUM"}

There is another one but it doesn't have humidity so I don't pass it to 
the mqtt broker. I wonder if it's near a lawn sprinkler. weather.gov has 
Humidity 28% and 81°F.

It handles a load of protocols but I specified 11 so I only see the 
Accurite data. I should run it wide open and see what else is lurking 
around.
