There are free Android apps to keep the screen on 24/7. I'm using one of them, but don't recall which off the top of my head.
I like that the VP2's wind sensors do not have any large horizontal surface for snow to pile up on! These pictures from last winter motivated me to buy the VP2:
WF's haptic rain sensor is currently a work in progress. They are developing a continuous learning process to calibrate each individual unit, and there is a lot of promise in their idea of a rain gauge with no moving parts. Just keep in mind that it can't measure snow/melt. The one unique thing that it can do is detect and alert on the start of rain when it detects the first drops, which is useful in home automation and for sending smartphone alerts. Right now, I wouldn't use the WF station by itself without a good tipping bucket of some sort for measuring rainfall manually.
WF's strong point is making your station data available via multiple vectors, from their cloud service all the way down to local UDP broadcasts of live 3-second (wind) observations on your local network segment. As the person who developed/shared the weewx station driver for weatherflow-UDP, I'll say that it is child's play to grab the data and do whatever you want with it. The person who came up with this idea at WF deserves a Nobel Prize, and every other vendor should make it so easy!
In terms of accuracy, the WF station is tracking nicely against my VP2 and Acu-Rite 5-in-1 under most conditions. Siting the WF Air in a spot without sun may be a challenge for some, but I'm having great results mounted to the north wall of my detached/unheated garage. The WF's wind readings will sometimes get wonky in the rain, as the collected moisture change the ultrasonic sounds. (I would imagine that every other ultrasonic with a covered "slot" for wind has the same problem.)
I like the WF hardware a lot, but at the end of the day my VP2 has earned its spot as the "official" PWS (out of the three in my yard) for reporting to various services.....
