ECOWITT Wittboy Pro Weather Station HP2564, with 7 Inch HP2560 TFT Display Console and WS90 Outdoor Weather Sensor, Supports WU/WeatherCloud/Wow/Ecowitt Servers,915 MHz

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.

This unit replaces a ten+ year old Oregon Scientific station that over the last five years had steadily decayed. This HP2564 is far better in every respect. The package came with the WS90 all-in-one sensor ultrasonic anemometer/vane, piezoelectric rain gauge, light and UV sensor and thermo-hygrometer; the HP2560_C color display; a ring of bird deterrence spikes; and two paper manuals. The all-in-one sensor is compact and easy to set up. I installed two AA lithium backup batteries. I have it mounted on a PVC pole. I did not opt for the A/C heater module. I can't swear by the rain gauge, but it seems close to nearby station rainfall readings. The display is bright (brightness is adjustable) and easy to read. My unit is about 50 feet and two walls away from the sensor with all-bars on the WIFI icon lit up. It also comes with an interior thermometer and hygrometer, and micro-SD port, 32GB max FAT. The micro-SD card continually outputs readings in CSV format which are easy to analyze in Excel or similar spreadsheets and the card will take a long time to fill up. There is no battery backup (although the micro-SD card could be considered an approximation of same), so get a small UPS for the AC input if that's an issue. It's a little wonky to initialize, although the paper manual is adequate and online resources a little better. However, once you get used to the cumbersome sequential menu drill-down and value setting system (i.e., no touch screen nor direct go-to-setting shortcuts), it becomes quite usable. A cool feature is that if the unit is in a bedroom, it can be scheduled to go dark and then re-enable at certain times (or can be manually darkened and re-enabled at any time). This might also be useful to prevent long-term screen burn-in, but the manual does not say that's a problem with this kind of display. Setup of WIFI and communication with the optional internet Ecowitt.net service is straightforward. I have not tried linking to Weather Underground. The Android app is easy to use, showing current readings. It also shows graphs of various measurements over different time intervals, including yearly. At this point, my only fear is that as opposed to systems with separate sensors, with long-term use if part of the all-in-one sensor fails, then the whole thing must be replaced unless repair is possible. Otherwise, this is an excellent consumer-grade weather station.

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.

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.

Bought this 4 weeks and so far really like it. It provides accurate readings, has a nice and easy to read interface on both the console and the app and it's easy to link to Weather Underground and other websites. Installation is simple, it's an all in one unit that just needs to be attached to a pole, I placed mine on top of my TV antenna and it fits perfectly. The fact it has no moving parts, weather vanes or tipping buckets hopefully means it will be more durable then your more traditional weather stations. There is a solar panel integrated in the design to power it and you can also put a battery in it as backup but from my experience it fully charges daily from solar alone even on cloudy days where I'm located in Perth, Australia so this should be enough to power it unless you live in a place with long extended cloudy periods and/or somewhere with low light levels in winter and very cold weather as I've noticed it discharges more of the stored energy at night when the weather is cooler.

Excellent product by ecowitt and super easy to configure to wifi also great follow up technical support, I have no reservation in recommending this product and the seller.
