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 never had dht-11s that worked at all. Maybe one in ten was anywhere close to calibrated correctly. I need to check out the bme280, though.

Yeah, there's a whole line of these sensors with BMPx80 and BMEx80 which include additional features, humidity, pressure, VoC... And I had my two or three DHT-11 work for some time. But mine also weren't very accurate. Plus the humidity measurement were always way off. And they'd get saturated and just show 100% a lot of the time. And i think two just stopped working over the years, I've replaced the last one, one or two years ago.
