Justifying purchasing a weather station - eviltoast

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 was just about to set up a weather station, but then I discovered PWS Monitor app. Opening the app I found there is six weather stations in a two mile radius of my house. Now I just monitor without having to go with the expense. And with that said, If you do get one leave it OPEN so your neighbors can see it through app like these.

      I can see in the app that there’s a weather station nearby. Does this mean I can get its data into HA?

        Select the nearby station then click “+Save Station”, after that the data from the station should show.
