They are the same. Ambient is the US branded version of the product and has some agreements in place with Ecowitt as to what can be sold in the US.
Ambient products upload to various places like WU and Ambient’s own network, just like Ecowitt does to WU and their own weather network.
Ambient consoles can only read and display Ambient sensors (locked in).
Ecowitt consoles can read and display either (but if you are in the USA, you have to buy some things from overseas)
Hardware is the same and made by FineOffset.
When purchasing make sure to get the proper frequency for your country.
Being in the US I have mostly Ambient displays and sensors but I also purchase Ecowitt gateways (which read both) so I have access to anything I want.
Ambient and Ecowitt have both been quick to respond to any issues I have had.
