web enabled pool water temp hardware

Hey all!
I am looking for a water temp gauge that will upload data to a website. I have my own server space or I could also use a cloud based setup if necessary.

I want to monitor my pool water temps on a personal weather page either via FTP or if cloud based, I suppose I could use frames to display the cloud website within my personal website. I am unsure and uninformed about the latest tech available to do so.
Any info would be much appreciated!

Seems to me a simple solution would be to use one of the Ecowitt sensors, plus a GW1100 console/gateway and use the free Ecowitt web site. But data from the Ecowitt gateways can be uploaded to custom servers, if you want, no additional charge.

GW1100: https://shop.ecowitt.com/products/gw1100?variant=41418887856290&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22055434254&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_dbABhC5ARIsAAh2Z-TSQttUbDOpffI9z04R2R3tZhFSZnIKqHUaod5XEbHWA4v79-yuYU4aAlhMEALw_wcB

Inexpensive sensor: https://shop.ecowitt.com/products/wn30?_pos=1&_psq=probe&_ss=e&_v=1.0

You can spend more money on fancier devices, but there is the basic functionality.  Whatever you choose, make SURE you can control/download/capture your data for free. Don't get suckered by the vendors that want to make you pay an ongoing fee to access your data. :roll:

Thank you for the helpful info. Yes, I do want to control my own data if possible. That's why I went to the trouble to build my own website and have my own server space. I have a Davis VP2, but it is located 1/2 mile from my pool, so it's of no real use in this situation. I basically want a stand-alone water temp sensor that will send data either to my server directly, or if somewhere else - a place where my web page can access it and graph it.

I set up an Ecowitt temp gauge and gateway. It's working perfectly for my particular application. Thanks folks for the help and suggestions!  [tup]
