Users can remotely access real-time and historical weather data through a dedicated app or web interface, enabling a fully customizable and connected weather station ecosystem ideal for growers, professionals, and smart home enthusiasts. ## Description Wireless Range to external sensors: 300FT/100M (in open areas). Temperature range: -10°C – 60°C (14°F - 140°F); resolution: 0.1°C, or 0.1°F; accuracy: ± 1°C Humidity range: 1% ~ 99%; resolution: 1%; accuracy: ± 5% Barometric pressure range: 300 – 1,100 hPa (8.85 – 32.5 inHg); accuracy: ± 5 hPa; 0.1 hPa (0.01 inHg) Frequency: 868Mhz Cable Length: 1M/3FT Size: 3.5x6.2x1.2cm Power: DC 5V (USB connection); Package List: 1x GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway + 1x Cable Clip 1x Quick Start Guide Review: A must-have device for any grower! - I have tried sooooo many moisture meters from really cheap crap with double metal rods that show light intensity, moisture, and soil pH which is always inaccurate, single metal rod by XLUX company and those are reliable and very accurate but you have to poke the soil in multiple places which damages roots, also used the Blumat $90 meter which is way overpriced and it only shows the moisture without any graph 📈 or remote Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities, and bunch of other ones that were always showing wrong readings until someone told me to try these Ecowitt WH51 and WH51L sensors. The WH51 model is great and shows moisture levels from the top 7 inches of soil which is great for all types of pots up to 7 to 10 gallons. The beauty about this Wi-Fi Gateway is that you have access to the data from anywhere in the world and it comes with graphs that show previous readings that you can compare and dial in your watering habits for better performance. You can add up to 8 devices per each GW1100 Wi-Fi Gateway and it comes with an app as well as their website and you can set up alerts to come in through the app as well as get an email when soil goes below your indicated level which is very very useful. Now when it comes to raised beds and 20 gallon containers I have to purchase the WH51L model which comes with a probe attached to 1 meter long cable which allows you to use them in deep pots/beds/containers and they can also be connected to the same Wi-Fi Gateway. Both models are very accurate. The Wi-Fi gateway also has a temperature and humidity and pressure sensor which gives you readings of the room where the sensor is located. I plugged mine in inside my grow room next to my grow tents to monitor the temperature and humidity inside that room to make sure my grow tents are in an optimal environment. I can't say enough good things about Ecowitt. Customer service is very helpful and very responsive. The only thing I did not like is that they are based in China and you can't really call them and the only method of communication is via email but like I said they are very helpful and responsive. If you haven't tried this company yet then don't waste your money on anything else and do yourself a favor get this Wi-Fi gateway along with the moisture meters and anything else you might need because you won't be disappointed. I will surprised that they are so inexpensive and work so great. I mean when comparing to the Blumat meter that cost $90 it's like comparing apples to oranges because for $90 it should be able to do more, at least have remote capability but it doesn't even have that option. In my opinion it's extremely overpriced and these Ecowitt devices without a doubt are blowing away Blumat meters. I hope this helps. Review: Stays connected to internet - Excellent.

Very accurate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems reliable *by A***R on 26 March 2025* This is better that the original unit. Though I never had an issue with the original. Distances to sensors and my base wifi hub works well 150 feet to the sensors and 40 feet from unit to wifi hub. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ecowitt GW1100 Wi-Fi Weather Station Sensor Gateway with Temperature, Humidity and Atmospheric Pressure 3-in-1 Probe Sensor(1X GW1100 WiFi Gateway) - ECOWITT WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor Soil Humidity Tester - Accessory Only, Can Not Be Used Alone - ECOWITT WH51L Soil Moisture Sensor with 1m/3.28ft PVC Wire Probe, LCD Display, Needs to Pair with Wi-Fi Gateway, 915 MHz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/544066016-ecowitt-wi-fi-weather-station-gateway-smart-sensor-wifi-gateway](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/544066016-ecowitt-wi-fi-weather-station-gateway-smart-sensor-wifi-gateway) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
