Ambient Weather (WITH Rain Cup) - WS-5000 Ultrasonic Smart Weather Station

Hesitated a long time before buying the WS-5000 but it has proven to be a fantastic choice. I love its precision and the amount of information provided out of the box. Without any extra sensors, all the weather information I need is there. The goods 1. Super precise with lots of information collected and reported on screen. 2. When linked to Ambient Weather Network, you can see your own unit weather data on your phone (with their app) or on a web browser. 3. Partly Solar powered. You still need AA batteries but most of the power comes from the solar panel on top of the unit. 4. Can be linked to a global network of similar units, two networks in fact, where the WS-5000 shares data and allows you to read data from others. It makes it more informative than just using your unit. 5. The unit is expandable, allowing you to add Thermo-Hygrometer, temperature reader (for upstairs vs. downstair or tracking wine cellar), soil moisture, wireless Waterproof Floating Pool Thermometer, and more. The hard 1. Although easy to put together, it requires a bit of time to align the wind detection unit with True North. 2. Connecting to the Internet and selecting how you want the display to report information a bit of time. Nothing dramatic but plan for at least 2 hours. If you're interested in weather, this is a fantastic unit. I highly recommend it.

Had another big brand American unit that had few features, cost a pretty penny and chewed through anemometers. Then when it finally died I searched the net for the best replacement weather station. I settled on the Ambient Weather Station and have found it to be an awesome product. Can access the data anywhere with internet and the data it reports seems accurate with the local weather service. The colour display is awesome and it was pretty easy to erect the outdoor unit on a steel pole and set up indoor receiver unit. I’ve had the unit for about three years and I highly recommend the product.

Este es un producto muy exacto, de muy buena calidad, vale la pena la inversión

Received package in great shape but wanted the lightning detector and probe thermometer to monitor lake temperature. Installed the sensors, plugged in the tablet and everything worked immediately. Very user friendly, and easy to set up. I did have an issue with the lightning detector, but it was more about the placement on my part. Everything works great and I can monitor the system anywhere once I linked Weather Underground and ambient weather.net. I would recommend this station to anyone.

This unit has been excellent for me. Set up was easy, intuitive. I purchased the Lightning sensor and it works perfectly. I did a little checking and I didn't need to calibrate as it still seemed to be giving me accurate results compared to other trusted sensors near me. The rain gauge lines up perfectly with my analog 24' tube model. I wasn't able to get the Weather Underground system to engage but I give my friends the AWN app and that works. I didn't spend much time trying to get WU going. Indeed, the articles and directions are correct; placement is important for precise readings. I have alot of trees, a tree line and house to deal with. I put it in the most open area but wind readings from the south are reduced by the obstructions. Oh well. The rain gauge stopped after about six months and cleaning it to trouble shooting standards worked in a few minutes. After about a year of use it worked but paused regularly. Another quick look at Troubleshooting and resetting both the sensor and the display (and new batteries) had it going again in a few minutes. To my delight, resetting did not require network/Wifi set up again. That was a win. I love it and use it multiple times daily. My 6 year old grandson got the name "Weatherman" and he engages with it. I'm asking Santa for a heater and a camera. I'm a happy owner.
