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!
The one catch is that you'll want to lock it down on Ecowitt's site, otherwise other people can see your sensors.
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.
