Connect Ecowitt

Connect Ecowitt

Use Ecowitt for a station or gateway that uploads observations to Ecowitt Cloud. Setup requires an Application Key and API Key.

See Ecowitt weather stations for compatible stations, gateways, consoles, and sensors.

Before you begin

Confirm that Ecowitt Cloud shows the station and a recent upload.

Connect Ecowitt

  1. Open the Ecowitt setup screen in Weather Fusion:
    • For the first station, select Ecowitt on Connect to a Weather Station, then choose Continue.
    • If Weather Fusion is already set up, open Settings › Data Source, open the Provider menu, then choose Ecowitt.
  2. Choose Obtain Application Key. Ecowitt opens while the Weather Fusion setup screen remains available.
  3. Sign in to Ecowitt, open Profile, then create or copy the Application Key and API Key.
  4. Return to Weather Fusion and enter both keys.
  5. Choose Done.

Weather Fusion checks the credentials, adds the account’s available stations, and selects the first station. The station’s available sensors determine which cards, charts, and observation columns Weather Fusion shows. Ecowitt historical depth and sampling cadence can vary by station and by the ranges returned from Ecowitt Cloud.

If the connection fails

Verify that both keys belong to the same Ecowitt account and that the station is visible in that account. If the connection still fails, generate a new Application Key and API Key in Ecowitt, replace both values in Weather Fusion, then choose Done again.

Ecowitt cameras returned by the same account can appear in Station details with their latest snapshot. See View Ecowitt camera snapshots.
