Table 1: Package content
If any component is missing from the package, or
broken, please contact our Customer Service
department to resolve the issue.
Note: The gateway must be plugged into a USB
(2.0 or later) port for its power supply. The USB
extension cable (USB type A - Male straight to

5
female straight; included) should be used so that
the gateway is sitting further from AC adapters
which is a heat source as well as EMI
interference source. The using of this USB
extension cable will make the gateway performs
better in terms of radio signal reception, and
measures indoor temperature, humidity more
accurate.

Note: All the optional sensors can all be found
on our website: www.ecowitt.com. Make
sure to select the model of the units with
the same RF frequency as your gateway
(the frequency is different for various
countries because of regulations).
Note: Only sensor data supported by each
specific service will be uploaded. For
example, the Wunderground only accepts
outdoor sensor data, therefore it will not
display the following sensor data on their
website:
•Indoor temperature and humidity (from the
GW1000 built-in 3-in-1 sensor)
•Multi-channel temperature and humidity
(from the WH31 sensor) or Multi-channel
temp (from WN30 sensor)

11
•Soil moisture (from the WH51 sensor)
•PM2.5 data (from the WH41/43 sensor).
•Lightning data (from the WH57 sensor)
•Water leakage condition (from the WH55
Sensor)
•Water/Soil temp (from WN34 sensor)
•PM2.5/PM10/CO2/temperature and humidity
data (from the WH45 Sensor)
•Leaf wetness sensor(from WN35 sensor)
To view and record all the sensors data remotely,
we recommend you to use the Ecowitt server.

Table 2: Gateway parts identification
Before configuring the gateway with the mobile
application, please read the description of the
LED indicators (Item 2 and 3) and button (item 1)
function for better understanding.
4.1.1 LED Indicators
RF (Blue): Indicates the status of RF
communication with the station.
Flash (each): Indicates one packet of RF data
from a sensor was received.
Off (steady): Indicates no RF data received.
Wi-Fi (Red): Indicates the status of the Wi-Fi
connection.
On (steady): Indicates connected to Wi-Fi
network; network communication normal and
data uploaded to configured weather service(s)
successfully.
Off (steady): Wi-Fi connection failed.

15
Flash (slowly), indicates connected to Wi-Fi
network; network communication normal, but
upload to one or more configured weather
services failed. First confirm Internet access
through your router is functioning, and then
check whether the upload server account and
password are correct (use WS View
application).
Flash (rapidly), indicates that Wi-Fi
configuration mode is active. Use the WS
View mobile application to complete the
configuration.
4.1.2 Button functions
The black button is used for the following two
modes:
Wi-Fi Configure Mode: Press and hold the
button for about 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi status
LED is flashing rapidly, indicating the gateway
is ready for Wi-Fi configuration.

16
Reset Mode: Hold the black button for about 10
seconds till the red light and blue light flash
simultaneously for three times will reset the
gateway to factory settings. The history data, Wi-
Fi settings, calibration etc. will be all lost and
need to be setup again via WS View app.
Note: When powered up, and when there is no
valid Wi-Fi configuration (including the
very first time), the Wi-Fi status LED
will be rapidly flashing. It means that
the gateway is in the Wi-Fi
configuration mode. Use the mobile
application to complete the
configuration process.
Note: If you purchased optional sensor(s), you
may power up the new sensor(s) at any
time and use mobile application’s live
data view to confirm whether the sensor
has been added successfully. If this does
not appear the case, also check the
Sensor ID page to see if the sensor’s ID
has been registered.

5.1 Gateway Wi-Fi Configuration
The gateway can function as an independent Wi-
Fi access point during Wi-Fi configuration. This
will be used to allow your mobile application to
connect to it directly during configuration
(temporarily), passing configuration information
about your normal Wi-Fi network to the Gateway
so that it can later connect to your preferred Wi-
Fi network.
Please follow the following procedure:
1. Download the mobile application (WS View)
from the iOS App Store or Google Play store,
as appropriate for your device.
2. Connect your gateway with the included USB
extension cable and then plug your gateway
into an available USB port that supplies power
and ensure it is in Wi-Fi configuration mode
(red LED flashing fast). If it is not, follow the
procedure to put it in that mode (hold down
button for about 5 seconds).

19
3. Start the application and make sure the
location permission function is granted (on)
when you are running the app for the first time.
In case you disabled the location access
function for this application, please go to your
mobile device settings page and configure it
as “on”. The application needs your location
to configure weather services.
4. Press “Configure New Device”. This may be
automatic on the very first use of the
application.
5. Tap on the appropriate device type and select
“Next”. Follow the prompts.
