Ecowitt

Pretty sure you can use the Ecowitt GW1100 (yes, it’s WiFi…but bear with me…) and any of the Temp sensors like the WN31s…place them where you like…no Weather Station required. I run multiple temp sensors all over the acreage and they are singularly reliable. Powered by AC, which is a bonus. Local and remote display. I’ve tried others and too many go to sleep, reporting less frequently than I’d like, if on battery.

I have an Ecowitt GW2001 and love it. I paired it with a couple of their soil moisture sensors to tell me when to water my garden. I'd like to automate the actual watering too as another commenter mentioned. I also set up some notifications, like if the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature (and below a certain humidity) it tells me to open the windows. I'm also just a weather nerd and enjoy having the data right in my yard to observe patterns.

I got the Ecowitt GW3001 (GW3000 + WS90) and use it primarily to control sprinklers and drip irrigation for the garden. It was very easy to set up - just need to mount it on a pole and requires zero maintenance. Integration with HA was also very simple. I mainly use the current season and the rainfall in the past 24 hrs to decide whether to turn on the irrigation or not, and for how long. As an aside, I also use in-camera motion detectors to detect and turn on sprinklers when monkeys raid our garden (works very well), but there are many false-positives when the wind is high. Although I use …

my go to for plant stuff has been the ecowitt sensors, they just work and the range is pretty good. I have like 6 of them scattered around my apartment and they never drop off

EcoWitt makes devices perfect for this. It's a device with an LCD display of temperature, and a probe on a thin wire. The probe wire is thin enough to seal around with the fridge door. (Some electrical tape help feather out the small bump. Or what I did, drill a small hole into the deep freezer and insert the probe through that, seal it up with silicone rtv. (Deep freezer usually have coils on the inside, not in the walls, so you don't have to worry about puncturing a coil). They are like $15. I also use them to monitor the temperature of a lake and an underground well. I love the lcd …

… use SwitchBot Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer which are BLE, work well, and are pretty cheap. I hsve a few other thermometers too, Hue outdoor motion sensors work well (but are pricey). YoLink work well, the update less often but have very good range and really long battery life. Ecowitt ones work nicely (I use one of their gateways). La Crosse View ones work OK most of the time, the Home Assistant integration is cloud-only (though you can use rtl433 to receive them if you want).

I've recently bought a Sainlogic WS3500 and I have the same problem, no entities are found. However, using the "Ecowitt Proxy add-on" it works and all entities are found in seconds. I have the weather station and HA in the same network. I think the problem is HA is using SSL ... Need to check it twice. HA version: 2024.10.2 @Scarpetta3, thanks for the tip!

The problem Hi, I have an Ecowitt GW2000 and a WS69. As I wrote in the object, I configured the integration and reported the parameters (Server IP / Host Name, Path, and Port) within the configuration web interface (same if I do the same configuration on the iOS App) as required by the integration configuration guide. In my case those are the parameters suggested: - Server IP/Host Name: - Path: - Port: Home Assistant, however, does not create any new sensors, entity or devices. I would like to point out that from the web interface and from the Ecowitt iOS App I can correctly view all the data …
