Seven outdoor measurements, one clean neighborhood dashboard
The Ecowitt GW2001 station package combines a GW2000B Ethernet/Wi-Fi gateway with the WS90 outdoor sensor array. The outdoor unit uses an ultrasonic anemometer and piezoelectric rain sensor, so it has no traditional wind cups or tipping bucket.
This site receives the gateway’s customized upload, saves observations to a private SQLite archive, and turns them into live cards, charts, records, and station-health information. The handoff from the temporary source happens automatically after the first valid upload.
What is measured in Twin Oaks
WH57 wireless lightning detector
The WH57 is a separate outdoor sensor that pairs wirelessly with the GW2000 gateway. For this North American station, the matching version is 915 MHz. It can detect lightning activity within about 25 miles, report the distance and time of the latest strike, count strikes for the day, and report its battery level.
The lightning readings can be stored on Twin Oaks Weather, uploaded to Ecowitt.net, and exposed to Home Assistant for phone alerts, speaker announcements, pool-safety automations, or lighting indicators. The sensor estimates distance but does not provide strike direction.
