Ecowitt (USA) and Froggit (Europe) are brand names for Fine Offset who are producing a new range of weather stations and sensors

As often the case with devices manufactured by Fine Offset they are sold with a variety of brand names for essentially same device. Ecowitt (USA), Misol (China), and Froggit (Europe) are brand names for Fine Offset who are producing a new range of weather stations and sensors.
*Froggit DP1500 WiFi gateway [https://www.froggit.de/product_info.php?language=en&info=p410_dp1500-wi-fi-wetterserver-usb-dongle.html product_info_dp1500-wi-fi-wetterserver-usb-dongle]


It is possible the DP1500 was previously sold as DS1500, but this has not been verified.
This particular device is just a transmitting relay (or dongle powered by USB) that can interrogate the new range of sensors and output to various external servers/destinations. Cumulus MX can intercept and process the wifi transmissions. These devices do not include a screen to show readings, nor do they provide any logger functionality to store readings, consequently MX must be left running all the time to  pick up every transmission. They support up to 8 sensors measuring temperature (MX calls these the user temperatures), plus up to 4 air quality sensors.  All of these MX can log in its extra sensor log file and output web tags so the readings can be incorporated on a web site.


These stations do not include any logger or display, they are sometimes described as a dongle powered by USB.

*Misol GW1K gateway  [http://www.misolie.net/misol-smarthub-wifi-gateway-with-temperature-humidity-pressure-gw1000-p-608.html SmartHub WiFi Gateway]
They act simply as a relay between the new range of sensors and various external servers/destinations. Cumulus MX can intercept and process the wifi transmissions,  provided MX is left running all the time, and therefore can pick up every transmission.
*Froggit DP1500 WiFi gateway  [https://www.froggit.de/product_info.php?language=en&info=p410_dp1500-wi-fi-wetterserver-usb-dongle.html product_info_dp1500-wi-fi-wetterserver-usb-dongle]


They support 8 sensors measuring temperature (MX calls these the user temperatures), plus 4 air quality sensors which MX can log in extra sensor log file. MX can also read lightning sensor, and output time and distance via web tags.
It is possible that model names may vary.
