I have an AcuRite and it works fine. It's not solar powered. The sensor unit runs off AA batteries that last me more than a year, though it never gets cold here, YMMV. I don't use SDR. The Acurite display I have has a USB cable that plugs right into the Raspi.
I was unhappy with the temp readings from the 5in1 unit so I ended up building my own solar powered sensor. If I had to do it all again I might build the whole thing myself.
