Funny that, I've played all week-end with a RTL stick[0], and a £30 'weather station' thing from amazon[1]. Using rtl_433[2] it took no time at all to be able to receive what the sensor pods are sending over, it's really pretty cool!
I've also ordered some 433mhz wall/light switches, I hope to be able to receive/transmit and log all of that stuff, from what I can see, with a bit of tweaking you can integrate quite a few vendor's kit, and even integrate it with amazon Alexa for voice control.
Also started to 'explore' the spectrum using gqrx/gnuradio, I can see how it could become addictive :-)
