Ecowitt2mqtt: Send data from an Ecowitt device to MQTT

Thanks for creating this integration!

I’m having trouble trying to figure out what hardware is required. I got my Dad an Ambient Weather WS-2000 last year and I’d like to hook it up to HA for him this year.

Do I just need to configure its console to send things in the right direction? Should I buy a GW2000 to receive the signal and send it to your integration? Do I need some sort of other bridge?

I see on GitHub - bachya/ecowitt2mqtt: Send data from Fine Offset weather stations (Ecowitt, Ambient Weather, Froggit, etc.) to MQTT! that you say to use an app to set it up, but I’m not sure if that app is for some particular piece of hardware and I’m not going to be at my parents place for a few weeks so I’d like to know what I should buy ahead of time.

Thanks!
