Meteostations at remote Conservation Areas in the Amazon Jungle

Re: Weather Station
Dear Windy Team and Community, thanks for offering such a great app!
We got conservation areas in the peruvian amazon jungle, where we got now enough solar energy and starlink internet and would love to install a Meteorological Station and share this data with the community and the rest of the world!
Is such data beeing just shown on Windy or is any AI/humans behind using the data for improving future forecasts?
In our case, one of our conservation areas is in a meteorologically very fast changing and not calculable zone, and the different forecasts of nearby stations has until today never been precise enough. This means for us difficulties and dangers when moving for hours towards there or back. so we are very keen into invest time and some money to improve the situation for us, local communities and the public in general.
Been trying to google for days about weatherstations and the combination with Windy, unluckily there is not much straighforward information about it and we hope that Windy Team or communitiy can create such information?
We found this one article from another member asking for a list of supported weather stations but the answers are not sufficient. I understand that windy can't recommend a specific brand or model, but guess its would be allright to create a list of all devices that are supported and can be easely conencted with Windly, ideally with a Pro/con addition!?
Is there any device that can be actually connected to a WiFi and then would be online available as a station at Windy? This option owuld be our favorite..
We Read, that we would have to use other software to conenct our future station with windy api? Could someone explain simpely how this works? woudl we have to programm and create a server or somethign to share the data, or is it possible, as said, to just connect with a WiFi Network once the api was once "connected"?
What happen to stations that are not 24h online. Do they disspaear from the Windy App or they just downt show data for those hours? (Currently our Starlink runs over 24VDC-230VAC Inverters and are shut down over the night to save the batteries capacities and longlivity.
I know, lots questions. Glad for any answers, inputs, links (sorry if there is indeed another thread allready covering this) and also happy to get refered to other companies or oganizations taht could help us get our future weather stations online!
Thanks a lots!

@TapirWasi Everything you should need to start with uploading data from stations to windy should be here.
I'm not really sure that the data will this way get to someone who will use them to update weather models.When I click on "Register stations" on the page above, I see there is type of station "Netatmo". I believe it is station manufacturer.
