This exclusive bundle is for customers looking to monitor wind speed and direction logging data to the Ecowitt.net weather site or a MicroSD data card making an ideal wind recording device.

The set consists of the WS68 anemometer, with a solar radiation and UV sensor along with a choice of gateway for connection to the internet via your home WiFi The anemometer sensor measures wind speed, wind direction, UV level and light intensity. 

The GW1200 model includes 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.As well as these features, it also has the ability to control Ecowitt IoT devices such as smart plugs and water timers.

Finally the GW3000 gateway has all of the above features, but also adds a Wired LAN port, microSD card slot for local data recording and an external antenna for improved communications.

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 Weather Underground, WeatherCloud and your own web server.

Unlike some other stations, this starter set can be expanded with a variety of additional 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.
