It is a kit called Arduino that you can use to make all sorts of stuff. I would not recommend unless you or someone you know understands how to solder components together on circuit boards as that's the only way to make anything with the arduino controller. It only comes as an open source hardware and can be configured to do everything from making a wireless pond thermometer like I did all the way to controlling a robotic device. If you want to give it a try the entire project should cost about £20 give or take a couple quid.

I'm not that creative I'm affraid but I'll put this to our IT man Jon next time he visits he should be able to make something like this , hes taken our PC from windows 95 thru to office and hopefully in the future to a new version .

Hey, Peter, you got your weather banner working!

Of course..... Only needed a little help! Were having a real warm morning, marred by incoming smoke from California wildfires, there was ash on the cars yesterday. The weather readings are taken at the airport, probably the LOWEST spot in the valley, I'm a couple hundred ft above that and my temps are usually 3-4* cooler at the house.

The sticker I use is the data from my weather station, the generic sticker pulls the weather from our airport, it is always hotter there.
