The Ecowitt HP2562 weather station consists of a WS68 standard anemometer with solar radiation and UV sensors, WN32 temperature & humidity sensor, a WH40H self emptying rain gauge and the HP2560 7" TFT full colour screen making an advanced weather station with full internet access.
The anemometer sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, UV level and Solar intensity.
Two additional sensors are supplied, a rain sensor & separate temperature / humidity sensor. The rain sensor is self emptying for easy of use and includes a spiral filter and anti perching spikes.
The 7" high resolution TFT colour screen has a friendly & well-designed interface with two selectable backgrounds (dark or light). The console displays wind speed and direction, dew point, rainfall, indoor outdoor temperature and humidity, barometric pressure, moon phase, solar radiation, UV and more. There is also a full colour weather forecast and you can also purchase a microSD memory card to store historical data locally. A 1GB card will store on average 10 years of data.
This 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 Ecowitt weather website in a browser.
You are not just limited to weather data on the Ecowitt weather site or App, you can share your data further afield with free access to the WoW-BE service (via custom upload), Weather Underground, WeatherCloud or your own web server.
Unlike some other brands, the Ecowitt HP2562 can be expanded with a variety of sensors, click here to view the latest Ecowitt sensor matrix.
All of these are available to view in the App, or online via Ecowitt.net and in the 3rd party services that support this sensor type.
