Open source, self hosted weather stations? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Does anyone know of a FOSS weather station? I have a Linux based home computer lab and I want to be able to track atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind specifically. It would be nice to be able to detect rain as well if possible.

So I need both a server to have on linux, PLUS the weather station. Does anyone have any recommendations? I strongly prefer large amounts of open documentation as well.

Thank you!

I would look at ESP32 boards and make something like this

I personally run an ESP32 with ESPHOME integrated into Home Assistant. So I can also say this is a good way

I’ve recently gotten into ESPHome and am in love. I was in a bit of a rush so got Claude Code to do the YAML for me, but it looks easy to hand write. I’ve make an ePaper dashboard, a control hub with an Guition LCD module I had lying around, and a garage door opener controller, all just in the last couple of weeks
