I use Xiaomi Bluetooth and Aqara zigbee sensors from cloudfree.shop
Bluetooth are cheaper but need an ESPHome proxy in range. Zigbee is a little easier because of the automatic meshing, which can be done with a few Ikea smart plugs.
I had one in my freezer and the temperature seemed close enough, but the battery didn't last as long.
