I'm after weather station recommendations. Wind speed and direction, rain, temperature and humidity are essential and UV/light would be good. I need output via MQTT (I'm not averse to some 433MHz/SDR type solution).
Does anybody have any recommendations from personal experience?

@NAB Ecowitt gear can publish to mqtt

@mattrobertson Thank you. What's your experience with Ecowitt? Easy to install? Reliable?

@NAB only had mine a couple of months but it's been great - don't use mqtt but have it publishing to Home Assistant using an ecowitt integration - easy to setup

@NAB I got a package labelled "GW2002” which has the WS69 sensor array and a GW2000 gateway - there are some newer models with piezoelectric rain sensors but I went with the old style :-)
If I was buying again I might consider separate sensors instead of one large array so each could be positioned in a more ideal location (still trying to decide where to mount mine properly)
