What temperature sensors do you use? (lemm.ee)

I wanted some temperature sensor that can place outside my house, it is simple and not very expensive, which directly integrates with HA would be ideal but not 100% necessary.

I have seen these in Aliexpress, I don't know if someone has them or if you think they can serve me https://acortar.link/5vbeT2

Thanks for the aid, I am starting with all this and I see good resources in this community

EDIT: Thank you very much for all the answers, it is incredible how fast you have helped me. You have also given me many interesting options to investigate more before making a decision

I use Aqara zigbee sensors—they cost under $20 and measure temperature, humidity, and air pressure. I’ve been using one outside (in a covered location) for over a year with no issues.

The aqara are doing ai pressure as well? What model? I have a dozen or so but can’t seem to get pressure.

This one. (Note that “air pressure” is listed as a special feature.)

Well damn it’s the same type I use. What’s the trick to get it HA?

Using ZHA, it has an entity id of sensor.[device name]_pressure. I don’t know how it works with Zigbee2MQTT.
