The Ecowitt WittBoy Pro (HP2564AE) comprises two components the 7-in-1 sonic anemometer with haptic (Piezo) rain gauge and also the new design 7" display.
The large 7" TFT full colour display with inbuilt temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure sensors makes it an advanced weather console with full WiFi internet connectivity and local SD card storage.
Paired with the 7-in-1 outdoor sensor array (WS90) which no longer uses the traditional tipping bucket rain gauge, but a haptic sensor which measures rainfall. The revised rainfall sensor is slightly sloped to improve accuracy and prevent rain pooling and also includes rain start detection before any measurable rain has fallen.
The outdoor sensor also measures temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV level and light intensity. It requires mounting on the top of a 1 inch pole to ensure accurate readings. To keep the top of the rain, UV and light sensor clear of debris we also include anti bird spikes which can be installed should this become a tempting spot for birds to perch.
This indoor data, along with the outdoor sensor data is uploaded to the FREE Ecowitt service via WiFi and is used to calculate rainfall rate, wind chill, dew point and heat index. All of this can be viewed on an iOS, Google App, or the Ecowitt weather website in a browser.
You are not just limited to weather data on the Ecowitt weather site or App, you can optionally share your data further afield with access to:
- Weather Underground - free
- WeatherCloud - optional subscription
- your own web server
- HomeSeer smart home integration
- Home Assistant smart home integration
All additional sensors can be viewed in the Ecowitt App, or online via Ecowitt.net and within 3rd party services that support this additional sensor type.

Customers said this 7-in-1 sensor weather station is "easy to set up" with a clear display. The station features WiFi connectivity, connects to multiple platforms like Wunderground, and offers accurate readings, particularly for rain. While praised as "superior" to other systems, some noted instructions had poor translation, making setup "a little difficult" at times.

The weather sensor head, with no moving parts, is so simple to install and only requires alignment to the north to ensure the solar panel orientation and the wind direction readouts are correct. The readings for temperature and dew point seem to be similar to other devices, I don't have a comparison for wind or rain (which is why I purchased this device!), but it seemed to be in the right ball park when readings were observed against rain fall and wind strength / direction. As an indication of the weather on a remote site, this is great - I do not need 1% accuracy, and it is good enough for me to be confident that I will receive the strong wind, heavy rain or low temperature warnings that I need.
Great quality and intuitive weather station. I love alot of the attention to detail. Only had it set up for a week but was really easy to set up. Had an issue with WiFi set up but the customer service here is great. Always very quick to respond and very knowledgeable. Additional sensors are easy to add too. Would definately recommend Weather Spares and the Wittboy Pro
Easy set up and connection the the internet. Display clear and easy to read. Very pleased with it so far.
Easy to set up. Connectivity is good - my station is dar out into the field and connects well. Data clear to see
This was easy to set up, and is working really well. We had had an Oregan station before, which had started to fail due to old age, and this is an excellent replacement.
So far so good.. quick delivery relatively easy to set up, including connections to Ecowitt.net and Wunderground.
Very efficient service with regards to the ordering and delivery service, items arrived in two days.
Weather station easy to set up and mount on the pole I purchased. Display large and easy to read with plenty of information.
Only slight problem were the instructions. Translation a bit poor in places making it a little difficult to set up at times.
Generally very impressed.
Very quick delivery, good instructions, worked pretty well out of the box. Trouble free connection to our router. Gives readings for the smallest amount of rain, much more sensitive than our previous tipping bucket type sensor. Maximum daily wind gust speed seems accurate. We have had quite a few weather stations over the years, but the information this unit provides is far superior. Very pleased with the purchase, great piece of kit with no moving part.
Quick delivery from Weatherspares with good comms. The Wittboy was relatively easy to set up, ran it indoors for a day to make sure everything was working as it should, then moved it to it's position outside. Wittboy communicates with the panel (with a strong signal from about 15m away), the panel communicates with my router OK. Set up the app on my Android phone, registered for Wunderground, Weathercloud, WOW and Ecowitt, all now receiving my data. All in all, very happy
Contacted Weather Spares in advance for advice which was really helpful. Placed order and items arrived quickly. Easy to set up along with the apps for iphone and ipad, and the desktop interface. Had a problem with indoor temperature sensor which was reading c: 8 degrees too high however after speaking with Weather Spares, they put me right by advising that what I thought was a Wi-Fi antenna was actually the indoor temp and humidity sensor. Lifted the antenna and all work fine. Fantastic service and product. Have since contacted them for advice on additional sensors which was responded to promptly. If you want a weather station with good backup and support, this is the company to use
The pre and post sales service from Weatherspares is first class, the company was very helpful and sent the new Ecowitt weatherstation very quickly.
The Ecowitt station is superb, and is very accurate indeed. The colour console is fantastic as is the free Ecowitt website that stores and displays the data.
Compared to more expensive weather stations, I highly recommend someone looking at getting a state of the art weather station to purchase the Ecowitt haptic weather station and to purchase it from Weatherspares!
A highly recommended company indeed.,
The Kit was delivered within two days and set up within 30 minutes. I have to admit I was a bit sceptical of purchasing a non-moving system, but once I'd connected the display to my router and found the IP address, I used the GUI on the computer to set up the various websites I connect to (Weathercloud, Wonderground, WOW & awekas), and with a few minutes, each of the sites came live with the 60 second pings, the weather station set out. I'm now looking into the other available sensors (ground moisture, tap timer), to automate the watering of my garden.
Ecowitt 2564 Wittboy pro what a fantastic piece of kit, bought it to replace my original weather station which has lasted me for a couple of years but finally succumbed to the coastal weather on a very exposed West Coast of Scotland. Adrian fitted the ‘Seaside sensors’ before sending this out to me. Super easy to instal and set up, infact in less than an hour it was up and running and broadcasting to various portals. No idea of the longevity but with no moving parts hopefully will be equally as good if not better than my previous station. The advice and supply of the unit was excellent. Throughly recommend Weather Spares
Easily ordered online and arrived in Orkney Is in a couple of days. Up and running within an hour and accurately streaming weather information to several platforms.
Thanks Adrian - hope to do more business soon.
Adrian from the team was brilliant and helped me choose the right components. The Wittboy was connected to the wif in under 30 mins and active on Wunderground within an hour too. As many have said - its a little addictive to watch the data streaming in!. Thanks for an great customer experience.
Great service from Weather Spares. When weather station arrived I was a bit disapointed to fine no written instructions only a printed square on the box with dots in it that you are supposed to point your phone at., but I needn't have worried it was so simple to set up you just put the batteries in the sensors, plug in the display and it works. Full instructions can be downloaded on the Weather Spares website
I am very impressed with the accuracy of the system and the reaction time an example of this is that I noticed that the display showed it was raining I looked out the window and thought its not raining so went outside and it was fine drizzle. With my old Davies station it only recorded rain rate when it was pouring with rain.
It is was easy to set up on the internet just went to the set up screen on the display. I downloaded the app onto my phone and am able to share my data with my friends.
The system looks very well constructed and so far very reliable, is very good value. It was cheaper than a replacement circuit board for my 3 yr old Davies station which is now scrap.
What is the heating power cable connector for on the unit and is this necessary for the unit to operate because I have no access to a power source ouside?
The heater power cable is optional and designed for customers that operate the WS90 array below freezing where ice may form on the anemometer sonic array sensor plate. Most customer do not require this option unless you are based somewhere such as the Scottish Highlands or Moors where extreme snow and ice occurs.
Can the WH57 Lightning Sensor be connected to this system too please? If so, what’s required to do this?
Yes, the WH57 LIghtning Sensor can easily be added. All you require is the sensor which also includes a weather proof shelter and once powered up this will appear at the top right of the console and also record more detailed information at Ecowitt.net We have added an image from our TFT console so that you can see the data recorded locally
I am unclear , does this need the Wi-Fi Hub GW2000 to connect the base station to the main sensor unit . Also what is Heating Power Cable for that is shown in the diagram ?
Thank you
<p>The GW2000 features are built into the console so this is not required unless you wish to connect your weather data to the internet via a cabled link instead of wireless. </p>
<p>The heater can be added to outdoor unit to keep the anemometer free of ice. This automatically turns on/off at low temperatures. </p>
