3. Product Overview
The WN1920 console is equipped with an integrated 3-in-1 thermo-hygrometer barometric antenna. This allows it to directly display indoor temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, along with their changing trends. When paired with compatible external sensors (such as WS69/WS90, sold separately), the console can also display outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, and rain data.
The console serves as a Wi-Fi gateway, enabling it to connect to other Ecowitt sensors and upload collected weather data to various internet weather services.

4. Setup
4.1 Powering the Console
The WN1920 console can be powered in two ways:
- USB Power: Connect the provided USB cable to the console and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). This allows for continuous backlight operation.
- Battery Power: Insert 2 AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. This provides portable power, but the backlight will only activate temporarily.
4.2 Wi-Fi Configuration
To enable internet connectivity and data upload, configure the Wi-Fi connection using one of the following methods:
- Using the Ecowitt App:
- Download the 'Ecowitt' or 'WS View Plus' application from your mobile device's app store.
- Open the app, add a new device, and select the WN1920 model.
- Follow the on-screen instructions within the app to complete the Wi-Fi setup process.
- Using a Web Browser:
- Ensure your mobile device or computer is connected to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the WN1920 console (usually named 'WN1920X-WIFIXXXX').
- Open a web browser and enter '192.168.4.1' in the address bar.
- On the configuration page, select your home Wi-Fi network (SSID) and enter its password.
- Save the settings to connect the console to your network.
4.3 Connecting External Sensors
The WN1920 console supports various external Ecowitt sensors, such as the WS69 multi-sensor (wind, rain, temperature, humidity) or the WS90 multi-sensor (wind, rain, temperature, humidity, light, UV). These sensors are sold separately.
- Ensure external sensors are powered on and within range of the WN1920 console.
- The console will automatically detect and display data from compatible sensors. Refer to the specific sensor's manual for installation and pairing instructions.

This can be done via the Wunderground or Ecowitt protocols. Ensure your Wi-Fi is configured correctly for this feature.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the console and sensors with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: If using battery power, replace AA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Sensor Placement: Ensure external sensors are placed in locations that provide accurate readings and are protected from direct impact or extreme conditions. Regularly check for obstructions.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Ecowitt website or mobile application periodically for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and new features.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on console | No power or low batteries. | Connect USB power or replace AA batteries. |
| External sensor data not displayed | Sensor not powered, out of range, or not paired. | Ensure sensor is powered, move closer to console, or re-pair according to sensor manual. |
| Wi-Fi connection failed | Incorrect Wi-Fi password, network issues, or console too far from router. | Verify Wi-Fi password, restart router, or move console closer to router. Re-attempt Wi-Fi configuration. |
| Inaccurate readings | Sensor placement, calibration needed, or interference. | Ensure proper sensor placement away from direct sunlight/heat sources. Calibrate sensors via the app if necessary. |
