The Ecowitt GW1100 WiFi gateway is an ideal starter device for those that want to build a modular weather station with full internet access.
Unlike the GW1000 which is configured through the WSView App, this model is configured through a web browser so a smart device is not required for setup. The gateway connects to all the Ecowitt transmitter sensors (sold separately), you can set Time Zone and Date, manage other sensors, view sensor signal and power status. Set up your own weather station ecosystem.
The GW1100 WiFi gateway is USB powered and also has builtin temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensors for indoor readings. The gateway has these sensors on a wired probe so that they can be kept away from sources of heat which would skew readings.
This data, along with any other sensor data is uploaded to the Ecowitt service via WiFi and can be viewed on the App, or on the Ecowitt weather website.
You are not just limited to weather data on the Ecowitt.net weather site or App, you can share your data further afield with free access to the UK MetOffice WoW service, Weather Underground, WeatherCloud and your own web server.
Unlike some other stations, the Ecowitt GW1100 can be expanded with a variety of additional sensors which currently include:
- 1 x WH32 outdoor temperature and humidity sensor
- 1 x WH40 self-emptying rain gauge sensor
- 1 x WS68 wireless anemometer with light and UV sensor
- 1 x WH57 lightning sensor
- 1 x WH45 PM2.5/PM10/CO2/temperature and humidity all-in-1 sensor
- Up to 8 x WH31 multi-channel temperature and humidity sensors or 8 WN30 temperature sensors
- Up to 8 x WH51 soil moisture sensors
- Up to 4 x WH41 / WH43 PM2.5 air quality sensors
- Up to 4 x WH55 water leak sensors
- Up to 8 x WN34 soil or water temperature sensors
- Up to 8 x WN35 leaf wetness sensors
- Future sensors are also under development
All of these are available to view in the App, or online via Ecowitt.net and in the 3rd party services that support the sensor type.
