I have an AccuRite weather station, it has an indoor and outdoor component. The indoor display is connected via USB to a Pi running WeeWX under Raspbian. It works well, I would recommend it.

I bought an Acurite Iris for $90 and a $25 SDR dongle for the RPI (no indoor hub necessary). You don’t even need WeeWx if you just want to pump messages to MQTT… this can be done with rtl-433.

Was up and running in 15 minutes with this guide:

Agreed. My AcuRite/RPi/Weewx combo has been running solid since Dec 2014, with zero issues.

If and when it does die, I'll switch to a Davis and whatever newest RPi is available.
