I've purchased the family plans for both LastPass and Bitwarden. I'm torn between the two. I've been alternating back and forth between using them and I much prefer LastPass. Family sharing in Lastpass is vastly superior and easier to use. Bitwarden does family sharing in a clunky and disjointed fashion. Family sharing of some sites is especially important to us. My wife is not technical at all and has learned to effectively use Lastpass over the last 12 years. I've not even shown her how Bitwarden works yet, and I know what her response will be.

I am unfamiliar with an ESP32 as a MySensors sensor; though it certainly looks do-able.
Only because you won't be using the WiFi of the ESP32, I'd recommend an Arduino. The ESP32 requires 600mA.
Your radio will use up to 120mA (range of about 2km).
Of course, these power consideration aren't important if you have power at this remote location.
There are a couple of well documented hoops in getting the ESP32 board into the Arduino IDE.
On your RPi, I recommend using the MQTT interface with the MySensors Gateway. This will require an MQTT broker. You could use a public one (not recommended) or set up one on the computer that will be receiving the data into the database.
I use Home Assistant to receive data. MySensors integrates well into it. I admit that I don't know how to extract data from its database, but it provides an easy way to graph the data.
So it goes like this
Get the Arduino IDE
Load the ESP32 board
Select the ESP32 board
Using the library manager, download the MySensors library
Start with the example EnergyMeterPulseSensor because your wind speed sensor probably uses pulses.
On the RPi you'll download the gateway files. The instructions here are pretty good
There are three steps,
configuration (which takes some thought)
compiling (make) (you can run the gateway at this point)
installing (make install) This makes the program run on boot
Instructions for getting the MQTT broker installed and running are found by searching for "install MQTT broker" You'll need to know the the machine name and/or the IP address of the broker for both MySensors and Home Assistant
The learning curve for Home Assistant is tough. Don't be intimidated, you can do it.

@NeverDie DipTrace stores all components with the project file, so you can open it on any computer and extract components from Schematic or PCB as a library. Also it automatically saves all project components into design cache, which is immediately accessible as a library with all its functionality.

No, it did not work as expected. It could not provide enough power for my application. I ended up buying a more powerful setup (10W solar panel + included controller/BMS) with 4 Li-Ion cells and a 3V3 step down converter.
