Weather Monitor To Internet Gateway

Wireless weather monitor like "La Crosse Technology The Weather Channel® Wireless Weather Station".  It has a base station that receives radio broadcasts from nearby monitor(s).

Make their display hardware obsolete:

Create hardware to also receive those broadcasts and to send that info to a website via Ethernet or WiFi.  Create web page for owner's info with reporting, graphs, alarms, ads.  Create apps for: TVs, tablets, phones.  Allow customizable skins.

The above device is only $25 with one sensor.  What would a homeowner pay for another device to liberate their data and display?

Hacks to interface to proprietary sensors have been done.  How much $ to make my own generic sensor?
