I really like ecowitt and they make the sensors for other companies that just mark them up higher.

But you don't need an "all in one" and they are prone to break.

If you just want to know pressure, temp and humidity, this base sensor does it all for $20

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0978XLG8T/

and the great thing is unlike the bluetooth sensors, that one uses wifi and auto-uploads to either their service or some other services or ANY server you want, even your own server, and all of those at once if you want.

Then you can add all the other sensors like external temp/humidity and air quality and wind speed and rain.

As an old man I am weather-station-curious (why do old guys care so much about the weather? I have no idea...but we do!)
I've had simple LaCrosse and Oregon Scientific models that work ok for 3-5 years, then die, and been happy enough with them. I was really tempted by the Tempest AIO unit when it went on sale a year or so ago, but the dissatisfaction with the rain sensing turned me off.
Curious how this compares?
Also curious if @Avalon or other users could recommend a set of more budget friendly sensors that would give me similar data without a whole lot of tinkering, tweaking and troubleshooting? I don't mind some elbow grease to get a better solution and/or save a few bucks, but I'm not looking for a continuing project. I also can afford something more ready-to-run if it will be reliable, have a nicer user interface, etc, but I'd like to avoid getting something I'm going to have to throw away in a few years if possible.

Basically, I'd like a solution that can give me easy-to-read data from day to day. No need for long term tracking/analysis, or anything like that.

Appreciate any replies.
I don't see the coupon, so I'm not sure if the deal is dead, or if it's not universal.

Sincerely appreciate any recommendations others can provide.
