I did this with some rando soil sensors on clearance from my local Jaycar (very popular store in Australia, similar to Tandy, Dick Smith, or Radio Shack when they were still around).

Anyway, it wasn’t in the library of known devices in RTL433, but I was really impressed that I was able to get it up and running with community tools and doco to parse and reformat the transmissions.

I used to paraglide and I was very vaguely looking into options for getting wind and other weather data from sites - back in the 00's it was still pretty complex, and I got as far as prototyping a very simple set up which was simply a LCD weather station in a box, with a symbian smart phone pointing at it. If you sent it a text message, it would snap a picture and send it back via MMS or email. I barely got it working, but never tried it in anger - most of the sites I flew didn't have 3g at the time.

Amazing to see what options are possible now, I really should get a weather station going again, I wonder if I could get the signal from the beach near my house, as that would be more interesting than my garden.
