I kept the default dip switch settings, inserted the battery, and my console picked it up immediately with no extra configuration needed. Installation was just as easy, as it comes with all the necessary screws and bolts, and I was able to mount it straight onto the existing pole holding my WS90 without any hassle. The build feels solid and and everything worked exactly as expected. Review: Tested. It works. - I must say, I’m surprised at just how well this lightning sensor works. I was lucky enough to have a major thunderstorm forecast in my area within 24 hours of setting it up, so I was able to see it working! See the photos of the display console and the graph from the app. I installed the lightning sensor with Energiser lithium batteries and the switches in default setting. Installation was easy. I already had an Ecowitt HP2564 weather station and display console (which discovered the new sensor immediately), so I attached the lightning sensor to the plastic mounting pole (see attached photo). During a thunderstorm the following day, I saw a lightning flash, followed some seconds later by thunder. About a minute later, the weather station recorded the strike at about 5 miles distant, which seemed right by my calculations. The most distant strike recorded was at 27 miles. I am very pleased with my purchase. It performs as well as I had hoped. ## Features - Lightning Detection Sensor: detects lightning bolts and storms within 25 miles (40 kilometers) the data can be viewed on our free WS View App after the WiFi configuration(requires a GW1100/GW1200/GW3000 gateway[sold separately]) [Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, Can Not Be Used Alone] - Live Data on APP: requires a GW1100/GW1200/GW3000 WIFI gateway(sold separately) to connect to WiFi, after the WIFI configuration,you can monitor number of strikes daily, and the time & distance of the last strike detected within a 25-mile radius of your location on the Live Data page of the WS View app (view live data, requires the gateway and your phone is using the same Wi-Fi network) - View Remote Data, Graph & History Records on Ecowitt Weather Server: supported to upload to our free Ecowitt Weather server(ecowitt.net) to view the lightning strikes graph and download the history records on the website; it's recommended to add a shortcut of the website on the home screen of your phone for quick access - Receive email alerts from the Ecowitt Weather Server; Remote monitoring with smart phone, laptop, or computer by visiting the websit - Battery power level display on the WS View App & battery alert function on the Ecowitt Weather Server - Please use rechargeable batteries; standard batteries and lithium batteries may cause the WH57 to trigger incorrectly due to their high voltage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09B3QVJ82 | | Are batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 28,162 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 44 in Weather Stations | | Brand | ECOWITT | | Colour | WH57A | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity technology | Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 222 Reviews | | Display Type | LED | | Frequency | 868 MHz | | Included Components | Sun Radiation Protection, Mounting Arm | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ECOWITT | | Manufacturer Part Number | WH57A | | Material | ASA | | Model Number | WH57 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AA batteries required. | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Power source | Battery Powered | | Sensor Technology | Wireless | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Special feature | Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | weather monitoring, storm tracking, outdoor event planning, safety enhancement in various settings such as construction sites, sports fields, or any other location where there is a need to monitor lightning activity | | Specific uses for product | weather monitoring, storm tracking, outdoor event planning, safety enhancement in various settings such as construction sites, sports fields, or any other location where there is a need to monitor lightning activity Specific uses for product weather monitoring, storm tracking, outdoor event planning, safety enhancement in various settings such as construction sites, sports fields, or any other location where there is a need to monitor lightning activity See more | | Style Name | WH57 Light Detector Sensor | | UPC | 850018315005 | | Upper Temperature Rating | 50 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ECOWITT - **Colour:** WH57A - **Connectivity technology:** Wi-Fi - **Included components:** Sun Radiation Protection, Mounting Arm - **Material:** ASA - **Number of batteries:** 2 AA batteries required. - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Special feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** WH57 Light Detector Sensor ## Images ![Ecowitt Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor, Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, WH57 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yA-lMYmfL.jpg) ![Ecowitt Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor, Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, WH57 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SxFaErPhL.jpg) ![Ecowitt Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor, Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, WH57 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616c0RCs9SL.jpg) ![Ecowitt Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor, Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, WH57 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61etrfbL4-L.jpg) ![Ecowitt Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor, Accessory Sensor for Ecowitt Weather Station Ecosystem, WH57 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TTTXNiwcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: without lightning, how do i know if it works?** A: the WH57 will send the data to the gateway or console in 16-30s, if without lightning, the data is 0 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Setup, Solid Build, Worked Straight Away *by C***. on 22 April 2026* I received the Ecowitt WH57 lightning detector sensor today and had it installed within minutes.

So far so good and if it matches the weather station then it’s worth buying. ## Frequently Bought Together - WH57 Wireless Lightning Detector Sensor with Email Strike Alert, Lightning Detector Portable - ECOWITT Wittboy Pro Weather Station HP2564, with 7 Inch HP2560 TFT Display Console and WS90 Outdoor Weather Sensor, Supports WU/WeatherCloud/Wow/Ecowitt Servers,915 MHz - ECOWITT WN31 Wireless Multi-Channels Thermometer and Hygrometer Sensor, Temperature & Humidity Gauge with LCD Display, Dip Switches to Switch ℃/℉(Not use as Outdoor temperautre and Humidity Sensor) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/347583411-ecowitt-wireless-lightning-detector-sensor-accessory-sensor-for-ecowitt-weather](https://www.desertcart.at/products/347583411-ecowitt-wireless-lightning-detector-sensor-accessory-sensor-for-ecowitt-weather) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
