 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.

-This particular device is just a transmitting relay (also known as dongle), powered by USB, containing temperature, pressure and humidity sensors, and able to interrogate a range of external sensors; and output to various external servers/destinations. 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), plus up to 4 air quality sensors.

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).
