Justifying purchasing a weather station - Lemmy.world

Hello! I’m eyeballing an Ecowitt weather station and would like your suggestions as to what to do with it. Are there automations you do with it? Just displaying a weather dashboard? Mostly using it for the inside temp/humidity sensors? Please help me justify buying it to myself!

Hey there, I have an Ecowitt system. I use it to tell me when to close the curtains based on sunlight, use it to tell me when to open or close the windows, and I also have some of their soil moisture sensors in my garden to tell me when to water. I plan on expanding that last one to an automatic irrigation system!
I also have ecowitt sensors. I ended up using a software defined radio and rtl-sdr to decode all the station and sensors. It’s been working great.
