@ai6yr I picked up the Ecowitt station, and just recently got my Davis one working well (although I need to dig out some ancient software to get it spooling to the internet again). I expect the Davis would be more precise, but for my purposes the Ecowitt is good enough. Rain gauge seems overly sensitive to me. But other than the battery, near no maintenance plus you can add a bunch of other sensor options (which I have). Seems to be good value for the $$.

In response to this post@andybrwn @ai6yr I've got an Ambient station, which is virtually identical to the Ecowitt ones. (I think they use literally all the same components.) The instructions say to clean it once a quarter, but every time I've checked it over the past 2.5 years, it's never needed much. I think I found a dead leaf partially blocking the rain gauge once.
@SKleefeld @andybrwn It looks like the only difference is the software.
