Have been following these guys for a while and they seem to have a loyal customer base. This is a drop of about $33 from the usual price according to CamelCamelCamel.

This can be linked to Weather Underground (and other sites I believe). If you don't want to go the full weather station, they have smaller modular units, including soil moisture sensors.

    I just tap into my neighbour’s Davis weather station data. Saved me $$$.

      I just tapped "weather" into Google

    What are these things used for? There are weather apps available for smartphones…

    • Tacooo on 27/08/2019 - 09:46

      And there are barcode apps for smartphones too but they don't compare to a dedicated barcode reader.

      That’s good for most people, but our nearest BOM station is about 20kms away, so temp and rain readings are very different.

      We are generally 2-3 degrees cooler on a hot summer day.

      I have a cheap Chinese-bought sensor that tells me inside and outside temps, and it has been useful to see when we can turn the air-con off. But I would like some more data like the soil moisture sensor to know whether I need to turn the irrigation system on or off….. but hey I’m a data nerd.

      These are not for everyone.

      Those things are nothing but pseudoscience. Everyone knows the only accurate method is the weather stone.

      • Public21 on 27/08/2019 - 10:07

        Sure, but just try opening it to change the battery!

          As the old saying goes, like trying to get alkaline batteries from a stone.

    Is it weather proof?

    You'd have to be a complete ecowit to pay that for a weather station

    • King Steuart on 27/08/2019 - 12:37

      The ecowits have assembled!

  • cristtos on 27/08/2019 - 10:02

    I was looking for one of these.
    I had disappointing experiences with other weather stations (3), the outdoor unit plastic started to fall apart after less than a year, electronics a bit unreliable.
    Last hail also demolished the weather vane…

    Anyone else used one of these? is the build good enough for our harsh sun?

    TIA

      Have a look at the reviews on Amazon. It generally comes up pretty good.

      There is also a lot of discussion about Ecowitt stations and sensors on Whirlpool - and again they get mostly pretty good responses.

    I’d buy one if it was home assistant compatible, unfortunately looking online it appears it isn’t, unless it’s a rebrand.

    • cristtos on 27/08/2019 - 10:12

      That would be cool…
      But couldn't you instruct the assistant to read you the data published online by the weather station?

      • [Deactivated] on 27/08/2019 - 10:36

        I do, but the nearest one to me is in St Kilda, which is a few kms away and on the beach, so the weather is slightly different

    • NigelTufnel on 27/08/2019 - 10:54

      I'm in the same boat. Currently run a few xiaomi temp/humid sensors, but would love a proper weather station integrated into HA for rain/wind data.

    • jztilly on 27/08/2019 - 11:29

      is it compatible with weewx? i've got a cheapo station as a gift that connects to weewx. then weewx uploads the data to both wunderground and publishes via mqtt to homeassistant.

      got a bunch of automation working depending on inside / outside / nest thermostat thresholds

      • FrontBottom on 27/08/2019 - 13:52

        Will have to check that out …. had been using CumulusMX (until my outdoor units recently siezed up ….)

      • Public21 on 09/09/2019 - 10:56

        I know this thread is old and the discount has now ended, but I believe most of Ecowitt is the same as Fine Offset, so it probably will run okay.

        They have modular units that give you a gateway and you can just add sensors- wind, rain, multi-channel temp/humidity, moisture etc., but without a standalone display.

        I’m interested in the automation side for ventilation systems, so do you have suggestions or is there a blog/website you suggest?

    What about this one?
    https://www.amazon.com.au/ECOWITT-Weather-Station-Powered-Ou…
    Seems to have the same outdoor unit but the indor is not a tablet.
    It is still able to send data as the other one…
    And considerably cheaper!

    • cristtos on 27/08/2019 - 11:59

      Pulled the trigger on this one (and an extra multi-sensor)

    • cristtos on 14/09/2019 - 16:53

      I have finally had time to configure it.
      There are a couple of things not mentioned in the manual (I think):
      - if you are running 2.4&5G WiFi with beam steering you will have the same name for both SSIDs and you will not know what you connect to. Thus you must disable beam steering and make sure you can identify the 2.4 GHz by name because the gateway can connect ONLY to the 2.4.
      - even as brand new you must press the RESET button on the gateway until the LED turns solid red and THEN relase it for the quick blinking of the pairing mode.
      - the APP is call WS View (WS for Weather Station?) and is pretty easy to setup[ and use.
      - I have purchased an additional sensor (temp + humidity), the station detected IMMEDIATELY the primary and additional transmitting station - no additional setup, impressed.
      - don't forget to change the time zone.

      Now a question - which weather site do you use to publish data?

  • Will Mcdonald on 27/08/2019 - 18:34

    Ended up buying a cheaper one of ebay.
