Ecowitt GW2000 to WFC01 signal booster
« on: March 28, 2024, 01:02:17 AM »
I have a system with HP2564 and WS90 for weather, soil moisture. To add a WFC01 (water control valve) i have had to add a GW2000 hub to interface to the water valves. The hub is located in a steel structure shed and does not have the required signal strength to reach all water valves out in the field. What options do i have for extending the signal (antenna / repeater) or is the only alternative to mount the GW2000 outside in plastic IP67 housing?

I think you need to modify the hub for its antenna: use an outdoor mount antenna, replacing the small and short antennal inside the housing, might be helpful.
