Yes, I am receiving my outside weather sensor with a RTL_SDR USB stick
and the 'rtl_433' program, temperature and humidity.
It can receive other sensors in the area too if in range.

I build a Pi 'hat' that has, among other chips,  an air pressure sensor and it is displayed in  the xgpspc program I wrote"

Other RTL_SDR USB sticks measure air-traffic, ship-traffic and GPS.
all goes to 'xgpspc'

I have now 5 Raspberries, 4 are on 24/7, 3 of those are on a UPS, one very old one not in use as backup...

All together did cost less than an Apple ?
