Ecowitt GW2000 Wi-Fi Hub for Wittboy Weather Station, with Built-in on Board Barometer and Thermometer/Hygrometer Sensor, Support Ecowitt Weather Sensors

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 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.
