I use this one: https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html
If you already have ZigBee setup it's easy to use these, if not maybe look for something else.
Same one I use, also made an enclosure to 3D print and protect it from rain. It's been going on without issues since 2020 https://www.printables.com/model/169425-xiaomi-aquara-thermometer-outdoor-case
Yup these are great, sonoff also makes zigbee sensors. Best to buy them off AliExpress, a lot cheaper on there
I have two of these outside, jankily sealed up with electrical tape, and they've survived the British weather for a year so far.
I also use one of these outside with a 3D printed case. Still going strong after about 18 months!
I have one of these outside stuck to my soffit, not in a case, and it's been solid for me.
