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.

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.

Cumulus MX can intercept (via your existing network router) the wifi transmissions from the device and process those. Because there is no logger, MX must be left running all the time to pick up every transmission.  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.
