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!

I use mine quite a lot. I have a weather dashboard, and the forecasts from my weather station are second to none, way more accurate than any other option. I also use them in a lot of automations. Many of which are here, the python script described there is using a lot of weather data to make decisions about whether to keep the heat lower in the morning or not. Saves me pretty good money on heating.
