Ecowitt Wittboy Outdoor Sensor WS90 for Weather Stations, Professional Weather Station Unit for Home Garden Farm, 7-in-1 Outdoor Weather Sensor Solar Powered, Accessory, Cannot Be Used Alone

Really nice kit and very good results. Very easy to setup and upload data to Weather Underground, Met Office WOW, and Weather Cloud. Out of the box this kit covers Temp-In+Out/Pressure/Wind/Rain/Solar/UV and includes a display console which acts as a gateway to upload to internet websites - Pre configured for WU, WOW, and Weather Cloud and Ecowitt's own cloud storage service. Before buying the Ecowitt kit I looked at all the other major players. Some of the products available are clearly aimed at professional level installations with costs starting at £900 just for Temp/Pressure/Wind/Rain measurements with an add-on UV sensor costing more than the Ecowitt kit in total. Without going to yet another even higher cost level, if one wanted non mechanical wind measurements for long term maintenance free observations, the competitors costs are well over £1500 for the same set of features that the Ecowitt equipment offers while including a Sonic Anemometer. Clearly this is not true professional equipment, but the build quality and thought that has gone into this kit is very high. For home observations I cannot rate it highly enough. I started mounting the rain gauge and main sensor array at a low level to check everything worked as expected. I did find a bug that meant that you couldn't offset the North orientation of the main array. With a couple of emails to Customer Support in HK it was sorted by updating to the latest Firmware. I would suggest that a Firmware update is probably a good idea even if you don't intend to mount in a non standard orientation, just in case. Also supplied in the box is a cable with a waterproof plug and bare ends that is for connecting the heater element built into the array for cold weather measurements of wind when ice may affect the sonar. This is ideally attached to a 12V supply which is available from Ecowitt and a UK supplier of Weather Spares, but can be attached to a 5V USB supply (cheap) if only needing protection down to about -10C. I have now mounted the main array much higher for more consistent wind readings and added anti-bird spikes to the rain gauge ! The main array has a solar cell with a super capacitor that provides most if not all of the needed power. This is backed up by 2x AA cells which are supposed to be Lithium type for greatest life span and cold weather performance, but I am currently using Eneloop NiMH and they are working well. In order to avoid having to lower the main array (and climb a ladder) to change the battery backup cells I have bought a spare battery compartment cover and a remote battery pack case and dummy cells, made by Ecowitt for another of their models (available from Ecowitt or the Weather Spares company). Adaptation was a simple matter of a couple of holes in the cover and passing the wires through new holes in the ends of the dummy cells and soldering the 2 wires back together having been passed through said holes. Picture hopefully explains all. Small amounts of super glue were used to seal the holes in the cover. I have also added an Ecowitt lightning sensor which looks really nifty in its case mounted to the rain gauge stand. Not really needed, but maybe fun to see what it shows ? If you want to save quite a bit of money, or maybe just prefer a mobile phone to a console for viewing your observations, then the GW1100 is a marvellous (tiny) piece of kit that can be purchased with the sensor array and will constantly upload data to the same weather websites. Comes with an extension USB cable for use with an existing USB phone charger / 5V supply. Overall - Great kit at a great price. Added screenshots of the Ecowitt cloud website that show the neat graphs available for selectable time periods.

Two caveats at the end of this review, but I am extremely impressed having given up with a Weatherflow system which started to die after three years. Extremely easy to set up and the large screen console is superb. It recognises all the sensors immediately and the range is excellent: I can view the display, which is the Wi-Fi connected hub, at the front of the house whilst all the sensors are distributed to the back. The display is really comprehensive and covers internal sensors for which there is enormous capacity. I have an air quality monitor working with it and will add several internal temperature/hygrometer sensors and a lightning sensor. The display enables comprehensive settings and shows a variety of graphs - far more than WU can manage. It integrates with WU seamlessly as well. Remarkably for a Chinese device, the website and manual are comprehensive and in impeccable English and really helpful. I cannot comment on durability and reliability, but the 5 inch standard tipping bucket rain gauge is a great improvement over haptic rain gauges and the ultrasonic anemometer much more reliable than mechanical. There is a problem connecting data feed to WOW (Met Office site) at present, but I suspect a firmware upgrade will sort that. I was furious when I found that the stainless steel supporting arm had been drilled inaccurately; I spent an hour modifying it, but the device redeemed itself in operation. I have attached a couple of shots of the display

This device received very good reviews from a weather web site for features and value for money- and I cannot disagree. But (and isn't there always a but!) there are some things to consider. (1) You have to scan a QR code on the lid of the box in order to download the user manual and a few other things. As it's in pdf format and the information is quite detailed, it is only really usable on a tablet or printed-off. (2) Before you can realistically set it up, you need to find a suitable place and have a fitting kit ready to go. This will normally take the form of an aerial pole and wall bracket or something similar - together with some DIY skill. Fortunately I had a suitable pole that I stuck into the garden umbrella stand, so I have been able to set the device going temporarily. (3) The setting-up instructions are adequate, verging on challenging. (4) 7-in-1 is a bit of a stretch, but there is plenty of information to keep you amused. I bought this with an Amazon 'deal' and a 5% voucher code and consequently it really was good value and I'm pleased with it. There's an app so the display can be read remotely and that's also quite good. All-in-all it's a satisfactory piece of equipment.

Straightforward to assemble, install and connect. Good range from external sensor to internal display. There is a good user guide, in clear English. I think I could have avoided some of the manual configuration steps by connecting sooner to my WiFi network - that route wasn't made obvious.

Excellent value for money. Setup straightforward and simple. Web server and connectivity works well.

In korte tijd 3 stations van een ander merk gehad dit is de beste aanschaf tot nu toe. Vergelijking met de Davis komt de accurate meting zeer goed overheen met elkaar. makkelijk in te stellen en het scherm is briljant. Als de duurzaamheid nu nog ook goed zit, ben ik helemaal tevreden! Uitbreiding in sensoren en ondersteuning is super.

Buena estación, barata y buenas caracteristicas

Fungerar bra. Vattenmätning lite så där. Problem med att smälta snön när det är kallt ute.

Mycket nöjd. Har den uppkopplad i Home Assistant där man får hela 26 entiter att följa. Köpte denna modell utan skärm eftersom målet var Home Assistant. Det medföljer ett enklare fäste för rör, men själva röret och ev väggfästen får du skaffa själv.
