Introduction
The all-new WN1700 Rain Gauge Mini Kit is designed specifically for rainfall monitoring. The WN1700_C console works with the WN20 rain gauge and is compatible with all Ecowitt rain gauges.
It also functions as a full Wi-Fi gateway, capable of connecting to all Ecowitt sensors and IoT devices.
Over half of the display is dedicated to rainfall information, including real-time rain rate, rain events, and selectable historical data (day, week, month, year, total).
In addition, it displays indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, as well as data from multi-channel temperature & humidity sensors.
Features
WN20 Rain Gauge Sensor
- High-sensitivity tipping bucket design, measuring 0.3 mm per tip. Automatically transmits rainfall data every 48 seconds.
- Wireless, battery-powered (2×AAA) with IP44 weatherproof protection for reliable outdoor use.
- An anti-splash stainless steel mesh is installed over the funnel to prevent splash loss and protect against debris.
-
Flat-bottom for stable placement, with optional screw or bracket mounting(bracket sold separately).
- Seamlessly pairs with Ecowitt consoles and gateways for complete home or agricultural weather monitoring.
WN1700 Wi-Fi Display Console
- Built-in temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure sensors(Pressure data only uploads to the cloud, not shown on the 4.9'' LCD).
- LCD displays rainfall (rate, event, day, week, month, year and total), indoor/outdoor temperature & humidity, and up to 8 multi-channel temp & humidity sensors.
- Works as an IoT Wi-Fi gateway for real-time data upload to online weather platforms.
- Supports web-based configuration, sensor calibration, and auto timezone/NTP sync.
- Customizable units and adjustable backlight when powered via DC input.

Compatibility Instructions
for all ecowitt network consoles
Please refer to the table to choose the correct sensors and consoles before checkout.
Note:
1) "1/4/8/16" = max number of sensors supported per console (excluding accessories).
2) Upload only = sensor readings shown only in the Ecowitt app and cloud (www.ecowitt.net).
3) Firmware (e.g. V1.9.6 / V2.0.2) = gateway/console must run this version or newer.
