Ten weather measurements, one 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 915 MHz Ecowitt WH57 is installed outdoors in Twin Oaks and is reporting wirelessly through the GW2000 gateway. It monitors lightning activity within roughly 25 miles, estimates the distance and time of the latest strike, counts daily strikes, and reports its battery level.
Live readings now appear on the Lightning dashboard and the main weather page, while strike time, estimated distance, and daily totals are saved in the station history. The sensor estimates distance but does not provide strike direction.

A dedicated snow-depth sensor is planned for this winter to automatically measure snow on a fixed measuring surface right here in the neighborhood. Once installed and tested, it will bring the station’s measurement list to eleven, with live updates showing how much snow is on the ground.
The planned Snow dashboard will show current snow depth, estimates of new snow and storm totals, and a history of accumulation, settling, and melting. Snow readings will also appear on the main weather page during winter conditions. The sensor is not installed yet; live readings will begin once the setup is ready.
