Review: Ok - Perfetto funziona a meraviglia
Review: Quality Built Anemometer - The radio connection to the gateway was instant and reliable. Shortly after I put it up it handled 75 km/hr winds with no problem and was more accurately than my previous anemometer. I like that it uses only one AA battery. It also has the look of a professional instrument.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Use on sailboat**
A: Don’t know, we retuned ours as it was full of problems and non-existent tech support. 

I would stay away from this company made in China. Ended up getting a great a unit from Davis Instruments, made in California.  (Purchased from Amazon) they have live telephone support and they could answer your question or recommend the best product for your boating needs.

**Q: Hello, does this system work without wifi connection? Does it store its data for upload later?**
A: Sorry, no.
It requires a GW1000 wifi gateway to work.
It will not store data.
Any other question, please contact us at support@ecowitt.com

**Q: Does the wind meter connect wirelessly to the gw1100 Gateway?**
A: Yes. We have the wind sensor set up outside about 50 yards away. No wall in the way only screen. Works well.

**Q: Does the app work with i-phones?**
A: Yes, through the Ecowitt app known as "WS View"

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok
*by R***K on 11 July 2026*

Perfetto funziona a meraviglia

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Built Anemometer
*by L***N on 23 January 2022*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A flexible anemometer minus one flaw
*by K***E on 2 July 2021*

The anemometer and light sensor is certainly a nice unit for a user to place the anemometer on a shed or on their roofs to obtain an open area to record as accurate winds as possible. This must require a compatible console or the GW1000 gateway in order to see the data. There is a manual error when it comes to the solar panel though for users in the S hemisphere as the manual states to face the N arrow point north which puts the solar panel facing the south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the panel must face North to work efficiently, this will require the user in the app to offset the wind direction by 180 to read correctly. Accuracy of wind and light is very good when comparing it to a professional graded unit. Otherwise a very easy to set up unit, took myself barely 5 minutes to set the whole unit up, A lithuim battery is strongly recommended to use in this as well.
