Ecowitt GW2000 is now available at Amazon US
« on: September 30, 2022, 11:45:16 AM »
The wired ethernet gateway (alternative to GW1100) is now available as a separate product at Amazon US.  It's currently priced at $49.99 and has a 15%-off coupon at this time.

Ecowitt has said they will sell the Wittcam HP10 camera on Amazon later.

LOL, they might make a vaccine for that, if so, I will be first in line. But, in reality, if you have a GW1000/1100 doesn't really offer you much, yeah, I have one

For some reason, the GW2000 reminds me of these PowerBook adapters:

But as if Apple re-did them for today's market.

The good news, it does lay flat. Unlike the GW1000/1100

For some, that and the use of an ethernet cable (or WiFi), may be enough.

Also , increased processing power. But , if what you have works, eh....

- flat or wall-mounted - it comes with a mount
- has LAN and WLAN (alternatively or in parallel)
- has a decent look (matter of taste though)
- has a more powerful processor (when- and wherever this may come into play)
- might be more "partner-compliant" due to the look (this sometimes or even more often plays a role ... :roll: - I know a few cases already where the look of the GW2000 made the device more acceptable over a GW1100)

It also makes toasted bread.

I am kidding :) , but what Gyvate described is of course correct

But, if you have the GW1000/GW1100 and everything is working , I see little reason to upgrade. Now, if you have nothing yet, I would recommend the GW2000 .

My GW2000 kept turning off for no reason at all. Got a GW1100 instead, and it hasn't missed a beat!

I also noticed, my GW1100 has better Wi-Fi reception than the GW2000, which was located on the same place.

One advantage of the GW2000 is ethernet capabilities. Worth it just for that.

Darn, did not click that 15% checkbox.

Does anybody know whether it supports PoE?

PoE for its power supply - No
It needs to be connected to a 5V power supply via the power cable it comes with.
