Ecowitt WS68 Wind Sensor with WiFi Gateway

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 GW1100 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.

If you opt for the GW1200 gateway as part of the package, as well as the features above, it also has the ability to control Ecowitt IoT devices such as smart plugs and water timers.

The GW2000 gateway again has the above features, but also adds the ability to control the Ecowitt Internet of Things devices such as power sockets and water valves.

Finally the GW3000 gateway has all of the above features, but also adds a 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 The UK MetOffice WoW service, 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.
