cool, but these : https://www.homedepot.com/pep/La-Crosse-Technology-Atomic-Di... are super cheap, last forever and don't require an internet connection. Sure you don't get multi day weather but that's what the weather widget on my phohne is for.

I’m not sure how useful that is honestly. I have a temperature reading on my HVAC thermostat. And without looking I pretty much always know what it’s set to. It tells me nothing about what to expect for the day out of the home.

Temperature != Weather

the lacrosse ones have an outdoor pressure sensor which it uses to predict the weather, works pretty well for me.

That's quite limiting though. The OP could very well expand functionality to hook up calendars, email notifications, etc. This is just a dumb display.
