I'd like to get an outdoor Temperature Sensor that can be used with HA and Google Home. Anyone have any recommendations?

Same here, I've been using an aqara ZigBee sensor for more than two years and it works great.

I designed 3d printed rain proof enclosure and it's been reporting outdoor temperature and humidity for more than two years with no problem.

The worst part for me is the changing the battery. The sensor is on a hard to reach place and my design is not the best, so I fear when the battery gets low.

I was planning to build something like this for the rain.
