I agree. The cheapie (under $400) that run on batteries with no wires 
should be no problem under any circumstances. They should also be OK if 
they run on batteries and use only WiFi.

The likely source of noise would be a switching power supply to run the 
electronics to connect either the base station or the sensor to WiFi or 
the internet.

About six months ago I paid under $30 for a simple WX station at Costco. 
No issues with my all band legal limit HF station. Closest antennas are 
at least 150 ft from both base and sensor.
