While the weather stations will not last as long as a Davis they are 
very economical and easy to replace.

For really open & dirty, there is PiWeather daughter board, with diverse 
supporting projects (not endeavoured myself).

What's your budget ?

You can't get more open than WeatherFlow, although (at this time) the rain 
measurements are not good.  Otherwise pretty slick.  Solar panel, no moving 
parts, and a great set of programming API 'and' an existing weewx driver 
that works great.   Excellent customer service.  Very active forums on 
their site too.  Lots of software integrations from the user community.

(disclaimer - I'm a beta tester for them)

WF just came out with their new Tempest system.  I would expect some folks 
with the previous SmartWeather gear might be looking to sell gently used 
stuff for a good price, if you look around.
