Will using MQTT make any real difference? Isn't it just another way to get the same data in the same intervals? That's another thing Ecowitt hasn't solved in the best way, imho: you can only obtain data from the device at a fixed interval. Why don't they distinguish between continuous data and discrete events? Why can't I receive lightning strikes as distinct events? Even if querying the API in a sub second interval was possible, you won't be able to guarantee to get a single strike event. Their console with the display receives and shows discrete events, their lightning strike sensor emits detected strikes as they happen. On the API side you only get blurred-over-query-interval data.
