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 the round version of the same Tuya temperature sensor in my refrigerator and with Home Assistant. For $4 I wouldn't hesitate trying one in a protected area outside. As long as it's not directly exposed to rain or sun it'll probably work fine.

Do you have a link? I've been using the square Aqara ones for years but they are way more expensive than that
