ECOWITT WS68 Wireless Solar Powered Anemometer with Light & UV Sensor - Accessory Only, Can Not Be Used Alone

I have owned an Ecowitt WH40 Wireless Rain Gauge for a few years now and it has been extremely accurate, transmits a great strong signal and has been completely problem free, and I have been very impressed with it. I like the idea of separate sensors instead of an all in one type unit, because you get better accuracy, since you can place each one in the best spot for each type of sensor.I decided to try the above Ecowitt rain gauge, their WH32 wireless outdoor temp/humidity sensor and this Ecowitt WH68 wireless wind speed and direction sensor, together with their WN1980 console to view all of the data. It is all working perfectly and transmitting very accurate data and I couldn't be happier.The WH68 wind sensor is excellent. I own and have owned many weather stations including two different Davis stations, and I have to say that this wind sensor outperforms them all! I find it to be as accurate as the Davis, but it is more sensitive to peak wind gusts, plus the wind vane has a little better dampening on it and gives more stabile readings, and the transmitting signal is strong and dependable. And I just want to add that the Ecowitt temp/humidity sensor is more accurate than anything that I have owned for both the temperature and the humidity. I have verified that with calibration equipment.If these sensors hold up as well as their rain gauge has, and I fully expect that they will, then they are an incredible value and give you weather data that you can depend on. Also to note, I had some questions for them before I purchased everything, and their customer service/tech help is great. I highly recommend this wind gauge and all of the other sensors and console that I mentioned above. They are very accurate and ruggedly built to last in my opinion, and the pricing makes it possible to own a flexible, accurate, high quality weather station at a great price!

The radio connection to the gateway was instant and reliable. Shortly after I put it up it handled 75 km/hr winds with no problem and was more accurately than my previous anemometer. I like that it uses only one AA battery. It also has the look of a professional instrument.

The anemometer and light sensor is certainly a nice unit for a user to place the anemometer on a shed or on their roofs to obtain an open area to record as accurate winds as possible. This must require a compatible console or the GW1000 gateway in order to see the data. There is a manual error when it comes to the solar panel though for users in the S hemisphere as the manual states to face the N arrow point north which puts the solar panel facing the south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the panel must face North to work efficiently, this will require the user in the app to offset the wind direction by 180 to read correctly.Accuracy of wind and light is very good when comparing it to a professional graded unit.Otherwise a very easy to set up unit, took myself barely 5 minutes to set the whole unit up, A lithuim battery is strongly recommended to use in this as well.

This is actually a pretty good Anemometer for the price. Works great with my Ecowitt WS90 weather station. So far seems to be very accurate and was easy to setup and communicates over a long distance.

Unit delivery was speedy! Arrived in 2 shipments, but both arrived earlier than commitment. Exactly as ordered.
