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!

Sure! I have three, in different spots in different gardens. I do find them to be pretty darn accurate, especially if you calibrate them like the instructions say. I don't have anything to compare them to, but their data makes pretty graphs in home assistant and their backend.
