Ambient Weather WS-2902 WiFi Smart Weather Station

nice product. working perfectly

Intial impressions are positive. Its easy to install, connect to wifi & online account. Readings seem accurate. However in-home display is not properly readable from all the angles.

Period of advance forcast being not clear.

A such type of low cost low power wireless weather station with 865 Mhz (865-867) (not 868 Mhz/ 915 Mhz) for India is required on amazon.in

I purchased this device few months before for my farm in remote location. Initially i faced problem in console’s connectivity with WIFI, faulty console was replaced by the company. Really i appreciate them for sending this part from USA. Now it is working well, only issue is if WIFI is not available data is not buffered even one day and that day’s data lost. Other than that not faced any problem. Since their customer care is not available in India if we mail to them, they respond mostly same day.

Very costly compared to USA price. Can't help it when importing. Device working fine. Connected to weather underground network also.

The Weather Station is extraordinary at very low price.

Works as advertised, pricey for the Indian market .. Nearly double the price

Very well packaged and relatively easy to set up, the app that you can use in conjunction with it is ideal, the device has a very good range as it is situated at the top of the farm well away from the house and works well. Would very much recommend

Muy fácil de entender

I have had a weather station (Davis Vantage Pro) for years which is an awesome weather station but is a bit dated (it also recently stopped transmitting). So in need of a new weather station I purchased the WS-2902 after looking at reviews and prices. Hardware setup is easy as it can mount to any pole between 1-2 inches in diameter. The installation is just two u-bolts and took me about 5 minutes. Plugging in the base station it instantly connected and started to read data from the weather station. It really could not have been easier. Software setup had two problems but neither of them were directly the fault of the base station. First, the setup of the base station requires a WIFI network with AP isolation turned OFF. AP isolation just means that no device/computer using wifi on the network can see any other device/computer on the network. So AP isolation turned on will not allow your cell phone to see or talk to your base station once it is connected. My router from Xfinity is terrible and for some reason doesn't allow you to turn AP Isolation off. Luckily... I have an extender upstairs I connect to that does... problem solved. Next software problem was uploading data. It is supposed to upload to 3 different websites (Ambient Weather, WeatherCloud, and Weather Underground). I set them all up (easy) but the data going to Weather Underground was a mess. Even worse... the data would not upload to Ambient Weather or WeatherCloud for about 20 minutes. This left huge gaps in the data charts. The problem was Weather Underground. It seems that according to the Ambient Weather FB group, Weather Underground has had huge technical problems for the past week. People can't connect and problems of bad data persist. I went back to the phone app and removed the Weather Underground from the list of sites to upload to. Suddenly... everything worked PERFECTLY. The data going up to Ambient Weather updated every minute. The data going to WeatherCloud updated at the right intervals (I think it is every 10 minutes) and the charts looked great. So if you purchase this weather station I suggest setting it up so that the data uploads just to Ambient Weather's website first and hold off setting up the other two for a day or so. This way you have some level of confidence that the whole system is working properly. When WU gets itself back up and running right I will probably reconnect and upload to it. So far the data has been very accurate. I've compared it with the local airport and surrounding stations and it appears there are little changes in calibration needed. Oh... and I can also query my Alexa about the outside/inside conditions. It works very well also. My only complaint is that it appears the Ambient Weather website doesn't allow you to share your weather information. You need to log in to see it as there is no way to make it public. WeatherCloud, however, is open and doesn't have that restriction but Ambient Weather 'looks' much nicer. Oh well, it still gets 5 stars.

We bought it for the son in law, he loves it! Easy to set up, easy to operate & read, and a good price. Much better than our own!

Working flawlessly now for several months.
