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!

I've had this installed most of a year at a mostly unattended location. Installed reasonably easily on a post I provided. Appears to be accurate, in that values are not inconsistent with neighboring stations. Solar and UV are nice features. Linked to the base station with some difficulty, because the Chinglish manual is not clear, but I was able to figure it out. Remote access works well. Have had no problems with RF link dropout between the remote sensor and the base maybe 100-150 ft. away and through one wood (shed) wall.

got it in 2021 and replaced the battery's once it still works fine. I have it on a 3/4 electrical conduit. I have upgraded the base unit once. The software works well. I like that I can access it from anywhere. I live in the Denver area so it does see a bit of snow. I've always liked that the system is very modular. I could buy just what I want to track. I got this plus the rain gauge to start, then a few thermometers. later I picked up a few soil moisture level detectors. I have always run them on lithium batteries. so I don't worry about battery leaks and temperature issues. also, the battery lasts for ages.

After functioning from 3-27-24 thru 5-22-24, device stopped. Neither new battery, reset nor reboot fixed it. Other attached sensors continue to report. As it is not returnable after 30 days it is a waste of money and I advise anyone to avoid this entire product line. Just another crappy Amazon supplier.

This anemometer works fine. The U-bolt appears to be designed for a larger diameter pole, but it wasn't hard to tighten it at the top of the 1-3/8 in x 10 ft. 6 in. 17-Gauge Galvanized Top Rail that I had prepared for a Weatherflow Tempest. The Tempest's haptic rain sensor didn't work in my windy location so I decided to try Ecowitt. I wanted their 6-in-1 ultrasonic Anemometer, but I live in the US, and it was put of stock for months thru Ambient Weather (they just came back in stock this week). I was impatient so I ordered this anemometer instead. It includes a UV sensor, but no thermohygrometer. I ordered the WH32 and it's radiation shield directly from Ecowitt because I couldn't find the radiation shield on Amazon. Ironically, the radiation shield is designed for a tiny pole. I had to find longer SS screws to mount it on the post that is almost too small for the Anemometer! The anemometer works fine, buy I am disappointed in the radiation shield for the thermometer; it reads about 1.5F higher than other stains near by. Also both the anemometer and the rain sensor are designed to be mounted at the top of the pole. I know that the rain gauge needs to be looked so it can be inspected and cleaned often; whereas the Anemometer need to be mounted very high above any ground effects. However, i had planned to mount the rain sensor low on the same pole. I bought PVC pole for the rain sensor and put it closer to my house (the anemometer is on top of the hill behind my house). I initially mounted the thermometer below the rain gauge but there is so little wind that it always read high. Therefore, I moved it to on the hill on the pole for the anemometer what i think the breeze keeps the radiation shield from over heating.

I have been thru soooo many weather stations over the years. I'm switching to Ecowitt and have been very happy so far.This is mounted 30 feet in the air on a windmill tower about 80 feet from the router thing in the house. It has never lost communication and it always feeding data. It had stood up to some strong winds but nothing crazy this far. It has a little solar panel so I hope my AA lithium batteries hold up a long time.I like the light intensity meter as I should be able to correlate measured light intensity to solar panel energy production.Time will tell if it holds up but I hope it does.

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.

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.

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