Wondering accuracy of this arduino solution.
The accuracy depends on the sensor. Once you get your device try the driver and if it works it should tell you what sensor is inside.
For example, the temperature accuracy of DHT22 is ±0.5°C while the humidity accuracy is interestingly quoted to be ±2% but can be as high as ±5%. BME280 also has ±0.5°C temperature accuracy (±1C at 65°C).

Wonderful find. That is exactly what I was thinking about. The only issue with it is that even this device has been called TemperHum v3. My head is going to explode

By the way, I did not find any BME280 breakout boards that can be used without soldering.
