• Tasmota

  209 21,330 9.9 C

  Alternative firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, Serial or KNX. Full documentation at

You could strap a magnetometer to a "dumb" weather vane, but I don't think Tasmota supports any magnetometers unless you want to do a PR. I know there have been a few attempts to add the HMC/QMC5883 sensors in the past, like this.

• rtl_433

  172 5,754 9.3 C

  Program to decode radio transmissions from devices on the ISM bands (and other frequencies)

Outside of that, any of the consumer weather stations (or cheaper rebadged options) that transmit via RF433 could be picked up with a cheap SDR dongle and converted to MQTT topics using rtl_433 for use within Tasmota.
