This particular device is just a transmitting relay (also known as dongle), powered by USB (the USB does not have any data sent over it), containing temperature, pressure and humidity sensors, and able to interrogate a range of external sensors; and output to various external servers/destinations.
As often the case with devices manufactured by Fine Offset they are sold with a variety of brand names for essentially same device. Ecowitt is a subsidiary of Fine Offset in China. Ecowitt (China and USA), Misol (China), and Froggit (Europe) are brand names for Fine Offset/Ecowitt's latest range of weather stations and sensors.▼

These devices do not include a screen to show readings, nor do they provide any logger functionality to store readings. They support up to 8 sensors measuring temperature (MX calls these the user temperatures, because they might be soil probes, devices for measuring water or air temperature, MX does not care), plus up to 4 air quality sensors (again MX does not care how they detect the air quality number they report).

Please see [https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 the wxforum.net forum] for full details about each of the models, and how they differ, as well as which sensors are compatible, and which external servers are standard.

CumulusMX can use these devices as main station or as extra sensor device. When used as main station, although there is no logger, if the user has the device send all data to Ecowitt.net server, CMX is able to retrieve those data as if it were a logger. So effectively CMX can be off-line without loss of data.
To summarize ecowitt station types:
Ecowitt Local API
- prefer this if your device has the local api (most gateways GW1x00, GW2000 and some WNxxxx consoles)
- in this mode CMX actively requsts data from the device
- best accuracy, shortest polling interval
HTTP Ecowitt
- use this with devices that do not have the local api (most consoles, HPxxxx)
- in this mode you must configure custom weather service upload to console
- in this mode CMX only listens if any station would upload data to it
- data update interval dependant on console custom service upload interval setting
Ecowitt Cloud
- use this only if your station does not have neither of local api or custom server upload (eg. 4g cellular station)
- usable also if your station is on a different location than your CMX install
- in this mode CMX downloads data from ecowitt.net without communicating to your station at all
There is a [https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 comprehensive list of Ecowitt devices] and their features on WXForum, but you must register to see the featuresheets that are saved as pictures.
