ECOWITT HP2564 7‑in‑1 weather station
Product description
The ECOWITT HP2564 is a compact home weather station that combines a 7‑in‑1 outdoor sensor with a 7‑inch TFT display console, offering continuous local readings and Wi‑Fi connectivity for remote monitoring. It suits garden and domestic use where you want clear visual data on temperature, humidity, wind, rainfall and light without fuss.
Key points
This system pairs the WS90 outdoor sensor with the HP2560 console to deliver temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed, light, UV and rainfall readings on a 7‑inch colour screen with touch buttons. The WS90 uses a haptic rainfall detector rather than a tipping bucket, which the manufacturer says reduces vibration and continues to report in adverse conditions. The console supports Wi‑Fi setup so you can view live data on the display or via WS View Plus and the Ecowitt app. Note that light drizzles or gusts can cause brief fluctuations in very sensitive sensors, so bear that in mind if you need laboratory precision.

Why it’s worth it
The HP2564 brings a clear, touch‑operated display to garden monitoring, and the WS90’s haptic rain sensing is an interesting alternative to traditional gauges. The unit’s transmission range and solar assist make it practical for typical domestic installations, and included bird spikes help keep the sensor clear. Do expect occasional small measurement swings in marginal weather, which the vendor highlights as normal behaviour of highly sensitive sensors.
How to use it
Install the outdoor sensor on a 1‑inch diameter pole using the supplied mount and ensure it is stable for best results. Follow the quick start for one of the three Wi‑Fi configuration methods to link console and app, then place the console where the display is easy to read. It makes sense if you want at‑a‑glance local weather, and it’s a solid pick if you plan to expand with additional Ecowitt sensors such as soil moisture or air quality modules.
