I don't see why you say that.  If you can put in a POE access point, and
have it be reliable, that seems like a huge win, and could be worth it.

Yes, these sensors are inexpensive and reasonably reliable.  They take 2
AA batteries and transmit temp/humid on 433 MHz, which rtl_433 with an
rtl-sdl can receive.  Picking the manufacturer site rather than a
shopping link:

There is also one that does temp/humid and lightning, but it needs 4
batteries, costs more, is bigger, and the rtl_433 support for it is I
would say only 90%.
