GW1100 vs GW1000 vs GW2000
« on: January 07, 2024, 10:03:57 AM »
ecowitt sure makes these things confusing  :-P but there hardware works great.

I have the older GW1000 that i use with Cumulus MX.

What is the difference between the three only one i see is a web ui.

GW2000 supports IoT devices, which GW1000 and GW1100 doesn't. (When I bought my system a couple of years ago I just thought GW1100 uses "newer" parts compared to GW1000.)

GW1200 has just recently been announced - it will support IoT as GW2000.
(Read in other thread here...  or in FB the release)

Also GW2000 has an RJ-45 port...

you can compare the inputs eg in this table

Any point in upgrading? I just like the fact it has a web ui now would make it easy to configure with MX.

Hi!

Any point in upgrading?
In my opinion, upgrading from GW1000 to GW1100 makes little sense. Especially as the GW1200 is already in the starting blocks as the future-orientated successor to the GW1100 (IoT devices).

Configuration via the WebUI is not done that often. And this can also be done very easily via the WSView app.
What is more interesting is the real-time display in the browser and the http API, which offers new possibilities.

A GW2000 is a very interesting device simply because of the LAN port. It also offers all the features of the GW1000 as well as the option of connecting IoT devices.

But it all depends on your wishes, ideas and goals.
We can't give you any direct advice (I have them all and will also buy the GW1200 - but I am certainly a special case - at least that's what my wife claims).

Agree with Oliver - what is your need...

As I'll be wanting some new smart IoT AC1100 power sockets - I know I need to buy a new gateway as my GW1100 can't handle IoT devices...

So GW1200 or GW2000 are my options...  and as they have same amount of inputs... My choice shall be the GW2000 simply because it has the Rj-45 socket so I can connect to it with a cable (I prefer cable over WIFI when can) and the second gateway shall be close to my home main switch.

apart from the additional ethernet (LAN) port, the GW2000 has a stronger processor and likely more memory to execute its tasks. I doubt that the new GW1200 will have the same processor (SoC): the ESP32 - it's also a matter of size and afaik the housing of the GW1200 will remain the same as it was for the GW1000 and GW1200. But we will see soon.
As per Ecowitt the GW1200 is ready o be sold, "shelves" filled - they are only waiting to complete and print the manual.
I will only go for a GW1200 for curiosity and to replace a GW1000 whose pressure chip is broken.
