That's the one I have. It connects to your raspberry pi with a USB cable connected to the back of the display. No other hardware on the computer side. You'll need mounting hardware to install the sensor, or course.
The one thing that I don't like about this unit is the thermometer is packaged in with the wind and rain gauge. If you pick a good place to measure wind and rain, it's in the sun and that leads to abnormally high and low temperature readings. In your case, you probably don't care. For me, I had to add a second temperature sensor.
