We live in a Sprinter van. Does anyone know of Victron compatible external thermometer and GPS antenna that can be added to our Victron system? I would prefer something that was Bluetooth.

Victron Compatible Thermometer and GPS
I just saw the updates to Cerbo GX and others which answers this question - https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/112834/connect-ruuvi-to-ccgx.html
I built my own thermometer myself. With LM335Z temperature sensor TO92. Working without problems.
Bluetooth thermometers are, for example, the ruuvitag from ruuvi.com.
As a gps antenna I use the VK-162 from amazon. Cheap, good and very inexpensive. However via USB.
Thanks for info!!
I also have a generic GPS from Amazon via USB. Mounted it on the roof inside a solar connector fairing. Works a treat as well.
Thank you
@kevgermany. I have purchased a Ruuvitag Pro and updated to Venus OS 2.84 and the Ruuvitag firmware. I can see the temp info on the VRM site but my goal is to see the information on my GX Touch; we live in our Sprinter and use the GX Touch throughout the day so having that temp/humidity/etc. information would be a plus. I'm hoping that

Buy your LM335z from reputable component supplier such as Mouser, CPC Farnell, RS Components etc. I received seven fakes from Amazon & eBay.
If your Cerbo reads ~0.7V from the sensor with caption 'reverse polarity', your LM335z is actually a cheap transistor marked by counterfeiters as a LM335z.
