Works just as advertised. Fantastic Tech Support – Legally blind man able to install and set this up. Missed the calibration section in the users guide so sent an email to tech support. Sent that on a Sunday afternoon and to my shock got a reply within two hours. A thorough replay which fixed my problem (User error). This is a well developed product, well made and comprehensive. I would highly recommend this one.
Purchased in at eBay for $239.
Great Weather Station – Absolutely love this weather station! Massive upgrade over my old Oregon Scientific, especially with wifi integration and being able to see my sensors readings remotely from my iPhone! Excellent product at current price point! Already have bought soil moisture sensors and extra temp sensors for all rooms in the house including the fridge! Even have the lightning detector sensor on order. Support from EcoWitt is also quick and fantastic if you have any queries. Love it!
Purchased in for $239.99.
A great home weather station – Our weather station was 6 years old and no longer reporting outside temperature so it was time for a change. We’d had an Acurite that was pretty good and gave us what we wanted; inside and outside temperature, rain gauge, wind speed, though lacked any app availability. You had to be in the room to check the screen. Now we needed a new one it was time to see how far they’d come.
Lots of research and reading reviews and while I did consider Acurite again, I kept coming back to the high number of positive reviews on Ecowitt, a brand I’d never heard of. It came highly recommended on tech forums.
It’s very affordable - surprisingly so for what you get. It comes with a 7” screen that can display with a black or white background. It is very clear to read and seems more professional that the more colourful displays of other weather stations.
It gives inside and outside temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed, sunrise and sunset times, fees like temperature, dew point, as well as historical data.
We’re using the app myPWS to access the weather station while away from it. Wonder if it’s raining at home? Check the app.
As well (and for any weather station that can upload its data) you can connect to and automatically upload your data via weather underground (www.wunderground.com). I love this site because not only can you see your data, and definitely get a feel if your weather station is accurate compared to others in your vicinity, you can see other weather stations all over the world.
The weather station was relatively easy to set up, other than a bit of fiddling connecting it to our router but we got it sorted. I can’t think of anything it’s missing. It seems to give us all the info that we are interested in.
We purchased via Amazon - so easy - ordered Thursday, delivered Saturday morning.
We’re really very happy with the Ecowitt HP2551. It’s only been a couple of months but it’s great so far.

We are a bit over 3 years in now and still loving the HP2551. We've just changed routers and found the setup a bit tedious to enter the network name and password, but otherwise it worked. We emailed customer support once recently with a question and their response was really speedy. Still highly recommend this unit.
