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 love my weather station. The original problem I had was weather data for my area was inaccurate relative to where I lived. Today we hit 107.2F at my house, the weather station over 5 miles away registered 101F. I knew it was hot but I’m given comfort knowing that what I’m feeling is more in line with the weather station is reporting.
