Our friends from “Oz” have supported us from the beginning: Australia is one of the top five places our readers visit from. Most stations we recommend in the States aren’t sold there or use the wrong radio, so for 2026 we rebuilt this list around what Amazon.com.au actually sells.
Every pick is an Ecowitt, the maker behind many US-brand stations, in its Oceania version with a 433 MHz radio. Readers in New Zealand: Amazon.com.au delivers these to you too.

- 1Best Overall
Ecowitt HP2551 (AU 433 MHz)
Ecowitt’s best-selling station pairs a bright 7-inch colour console with the WS69 7-in-1 array (wind, rain, temperature, humidity, light and UV) and an indoor sensor. The console graphs your data, uploads it over Wi-Fi to Weather Underground and ecowitt.net, and accepts Ecowitt’s add-on sensors, from soil moisture to air quality. - 2Best Value
Ecowitt WS2910 (AU 433 MHz)
Save a little with the WS2910. It uses the same 7-in-1 array as the HP2551 with a simpler colour console, and it can’t add extra sensors. It still uploads over Wi-Fi to Weather Underground and ecowitt.net. - 3Ultrasonic Pick
Ecowitt HP2553 (AU 433 MHz)
The HP2553 swaps the HP2551’s wind cups for an ultrasonic sensor with no moving parts, adds a separate rain gauge, and keeps the 7-inch colour console. It’s the same hardware Ambient sells in the US as the WS-5000. - 4All-in-One Sensor
Ecowitt Wittboy Pro HP2564 (AU 433 MHz)
Ecowitt’s WS90 all-in-one sensor measures wind with an ultrasonic sensor (no cups to seize up), rain with a haptic sensor, plus temperature, humidity, light and UV. The Pro pairs it with Ecowitt’s 7-inch colour console, so you get a screen and Wi-Fi uploads to Weather Underground and ecowitt.net. - 5Smart Home Hub
Ecowitt GW2002 Wi-Fi Hub Kit (AU 433 MHz)
Ecowitt’s GW2000 hub with the WS69 7-in-1 array and no console. Read it in the Ecowitt app or on Weather Underground, or bring it into Home Assistant; the hub’s wired Ethernet port makes it a dependable smart home choice.

Buying tips for Australia
- Choose the 433 MHz version. The 915 MHz versions are made for North America, and add-on sensors need to match your station.
- JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman sell some of these stations as PanTech: the PanTech PT-HP2553 is the Ecowitt HP2553.
- Tempest isn’t sold in Australia; it ships to the US, Canada and the UK only.
What about Davis?
For top-tier performance, the Davis Vantage Vue and Vantage Pro2 are still the best we’ve used (our Vue review). Davis isn’t sold on Amazon.com.au, so buy the Australian versions (6242AU and 6252AU) from an authorised Australian Davis dealer.
Wrapping Up
Australia has more good options than ever. For most readers the HP2551 is the one to buy, and if your budget stretches, the HP2553’s ultrasonic wind sensor is our step-up. Have questions? Feel free to ask them in the comments below.
With all the advancing componentry and clever software engineering, why is it that two functions seem to be all but absent in Ecowitt weather stations:
Do you think this is a technical difficulty, cost issue, not enough demand, or something else?
I’m on the market for something like ecowitt HP2560, but those two limits have stopped me from pulling the trigger. Still looking…
PS. Thanks for the great work you put in with reviews. I look forward to seeing new, even more capable products in 2025!
