Hi

 

We had a basic weather station where the indoor sensor and wife-friendly display was on the fridge and an outdoor sensor was on a deck post not too far away.  That died and I've tried a Yolink hub and two temperature/moisture sensors successfully but would like to move back to a fridge-mounted display that shows indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity.  Remote viewing from a smartphone app is important (indoor and outdoor temps are the key thing we want to be able to check).  Wind and rain sensors would be a bonus but not required.  Historical data capture or the ability to upload data are not important to us.

 

Can anyone recommend such a beast based on personal experience?

 

I can research and find something, but real-world experiences can of course vary.  For example, our last weather station chewed batteries at an unexpectedly high rate and the outdoor unit had really poor range.

Thank you, everyone.  The Ecowitt stuff looks like the way to go.
