Wittboy Weather Station GW2001, Includes GW2000 Wi-Fi IoT Hub and WS90 7-in-1 Outdoor Solar Powered Weather Sensor, Supports WU/WeatherCloud/Wow/Ecowitt Servers, 915 MHz

Fits on a 3/4” PVC pipe securely and makes it easy to mount anywhere. Used two hose clamps to attach it to a roof vent. Just align North as indicated (and I did attach the included bird-repelling wires,) and it’s good to go. Had a series of rain events over the weeks since installed and the results closely corroborate with the local weather station reports. Wind indicator is clever and seems to be accurate. The trendline reports on the app are great - terrific performance from a compact and economical instrument. Solar power is a plus, and the app indicates charge level.

I recently purchased the Ecowitt WN32(WH32) Wireless Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor, along with the WH31 Indoor Sensors and the Ecowitt GW2000 Wi-Fi Hub. These devices were recommended on some Home Automation Forums, and they don't disappoint. First and foremost, reliability is a key factor when it comes to temperature and humidity sensors, and the Ecowitt sensors have proven to reliable. Once paired with the hub, they update frequently, much more often than battery-operated devices running on zwave or zigbee networks. In the past, these other sensors would simply stop reporting, or update only every 10-15 minutes. These update approximately every 60 seconds so I always have access to the most up-to-date information. The app also provides a handy graph or chart displaying the historical temperature data, allowing me to monitor trends and changes over time. I am using this to help hone in my HVAC system, and know the temperatures of different rooms around the house. Setup was easy - just select the channel, go into the App for the Hub, and it will detect the device. From there, you can setup the name, order in the app, and view the data. While the Ecowitt sensors can function perfectly well as standalone products for monitoring temperature and humidity throughout the house, I opted to integrate them into HomeAssistant so I can now leverage the data in automations and display it on customizable dashboards, adding an extra layer of functionality. It's worth noting that the Ecowitt GW2000 Wi-Fi Hub does have some limitations regarding the number of devices it can accommodate. For the WH31 Indoor Sensors, the hub supports up to 8 devices, which is more than sufficient for my needs. However, for the WH32 Outdoor Sensor, I believe only one device can be connected per hub. It's essential to review the hub documentation before making a purchase to ensure it meets your specific needs and device requirements. You could also purchase another hub to pair more devices - Each of them have a channel select in the battery compartment which is how it registers to the hub. In the future, I may also bring in their soil sensors for better lawn care as well. Current Devices: - GW200 Hub, Wired (Can also use Wireless) - 1x WH32 Outdoor Sensor - 5x WH31 Indoor Sensor

This is a great entry level weather station for getting extremely local weather information, and I love how it can be used on the local network, and even be blocked from external connections and still work, that's a rarity in today's tech world. I will say that I'm not so sure the rain gauge is accurate, BUT, if you have a normal rain gauge (I do not currently), you can take readings, compare, and alter the rain gauge on the local webpage for the hub to help it be more precise. It easily integrates into Home Assistant, and plenty of scripts can be written for it, like in the second picture in this review. Every sensor highlighted is straight from either the weather station or the included hub, but the ones not highlighted are calculated custom template sensors I added. The 'Feels like' temperature takes the wind speed and current temperature into account for wind chill (not 100% accurate, but I bet it could be if I included the sunlight/”radiation” into the equation), or it will take the temperature and the humidity when applicable and calculate the heat index. Still have yet to try the latter out, as it is a bit cold here at the moment, but looking forward to testing it out this spring. The 'Fire risk' takes the rain average over the last 10 days (default data storage for home assistant – haven't changed it), the current humidity, and the temperature into account to calculate the current fire risk. I am still learning, but this is all with sensor data that this weather station can output! Looking forward to doing more with it, and if you have smart lights, you can make a sliding scale for how bright they may be based on the sunlight the weather station is receiving, etc. Nearly endless possibilities. The hub itself supports much more than just this weather station, and we currently have three Ecowitt thermometers connected to it with no issues. Also looking forward to expanding our Ecowitt device collection and doing more home automation with them, too! Side note - if you are wanting to power your weather station via normal power, or use the heater, the cable for that is not available on Amazon (At least it wasn't for us at the time of purchasing), and it was quite pricey.

After using my weather station for a few weeks, I am quite happy. It was very simple to set up and the instructions were easy to follow and accurate, installation was easy.

Well made, easy setup, good instructions and local home automation integration (Home Assistant) also straight forward. Sensor head fitted easily to some spare heavy wall 25mm PVC pipe but most complicated part was creating a suitable pipe mount for my chosen location 😀. Also very pleased the kit includes Bird Spikes for the WS90, they're not on the official Package List 👍 (Ecowitt App & Web App revealed how many personal weather stations are actually out there!!)

Great weather station with many weather info, additional sensors can be added. I have no issues with connection dropouts from sensors /wifi - all works fine. During sunny days, roof sensor is powered solely by solar panel, it uses AA batteries only after capacitor discharges during few days of darkness/clouds. (solar doesn't charge internal AA batteries but supercapacitor) To get accurate readings, some settings need to be done after 1st powerup (like altitude/pressure). Only small drawback i found so far is that lcd brightness in auto mode is controlled by exterior light hitting the outdoor sensor, there's no ambient light sensor on indoor lcd unit

This is my second Ecowitt station, the first (HP2560_C display with a WS90 sensor) is still running great at another location. Given how well it is performing, I decided to buy the Wittboy for my other location as I didn't really need a display, given that the GW2000 hub has a very detailed web UI with plenty of options to fiddle with. Setup was very easy - simply turn on the WS90 sensor, then connect the GW2000 to your router (I did mine via Ethernet) and you'll start getting data within seconds. All you need to do then to view your data online is sign up for an account at ecowitt.net and link your weather station to your account. There is also an Ecowitt app for iOS/Android to view your data as well. You can also upload data to Weather Underground, WOW, Weathercloud as well as custom sites such as PWS Weather. The web UI for the GW2000 is easy to use and navigate, and gives you options for customising your local network, weather services, device settings, unit settings, sensor calibration, and rain totals (including offsets and editing rainfall amounts). You can also view which sensors are attached (and their signal strength) and also which sensors are compatible with the GW2000. Live data is viewable in the web UI as well. The GW2000 hub can be updated over the air (OTA) through the web UI, however the WS90 needs to be connected to your PC via a micro USB cable (not supplied) and a specific program used to upload the latest firmware to the device. Not ideal, but understandable as the WS90 (unlike the hub) can only transmit data rather than receive it. Firmware updates for the WS90 are usually released every 3-6 months, so make sure you have relatively easy access to the sensor to perform these updates. Sensor data is very accurate, from what I have observed. You may need to calibrate the haptic rain sensor to receive the most accurate results from it, but after this is done it's pretty much set and forget. I've included my rainfall offsets, they may or may not work for you. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this station. Minimal maintenance, no moving parts and accurate and consistent data with the option to add plenty of additional Ecowitt sensors should you feel the need.

Very easy to configure and install and so far the unit is working just fine . It would be nice if it came with a mounting solution rather than you having to buy one separately
