WS-2902 WiFi Smart Weather Station

I have received this on the 9th and it was a tad difficult to set up at first but once it was set up, it worked like a champ. Even rained over the weekend and was accurate. It reports with Weather Underground, Ambient Weather's own site as well as Weathercloud. It now has Alexa (Amazon's Personal Assistant). It worked up to the 6th day where the sensor stopped working entierly So I tried to reset it via reset button disconnected for a day and did everything online that was posted. And no good, so I had to RMA my first unit. I thought I would have to send in my device and wait for that to come back I would not have been able to do that until Sept 1st. But Ambient sent me a new one right away and a RMA lable so I do not have to spend anything to send it back and I never seen any company do this for RMAs except in advanced RMAs. I got this on the 24th started with the receiver and no good, So I had to put the new sensor together and it worked with my original receiver so I do not have to go through the process of reprogramming it. saving me a few minutes. Thank you to Ed from Ambient weather for helping me and proving there are still great companies in the US that care about you whenever you need help. Customer service is excellent returns service is stellar. I have yet to put the sensor in its permanent spot. If you ever have a question do not hesitate to call them they are excellent in helping you with whatever you need. I also bought a 4 year insurance from SquareTrade so when the warranty goes out, I will have a way to replace it. Pros: Easy to put together. Easy to read. Nice display LCD (monochrome over color filmed display which is pleasing to look at) Larger Segmented LCD numbering. Internet Reporting to Wunderground, Ambient, and Weather Cloud and Weatherbug* Solar Panel. 1. Light sensor (3 types of measuring W/M², KLux and Kfc) Primary measure in the us is W/M² 2. U/V sensor 0-10 with words LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, VERY HIGH, and EXTREME! 3. Wind Speed, Direction, Gust, min/max 4. Barometric Sensor with trends (+/-) averages for 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours and it measures in hpa, in/hg and mm/hg as well as ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE. 5. It has indoor temp (with humidity) and Outdoor (with humidity) w/Chill factor Dew point and Heat Index. 6.Rain gauge with metric/imperial measurement with Day, Week, and month TOTALS. It also measures rate for hour as well as for the event. (Like a sudden storm I think) 7th. I assume is the 7th item for the 7-in-1 a forecast it shows a depiction of a Sun with clouds and grass along with rain/ice/snow. Cons: None really The manual is straightforward but could have an explanation for what Kfc is Klux is Candles and what W/M² is. And the buttons on the receiver is sensitive. Otherwise nothing else.

I had been looking for a home weather station for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Mainly because I had the perfect poll for it that had been sitting under out carport for years and my wife threated to get rid of it with the next bulk trash pickup. Use it or lose it, so I put it to use. If you are looking for a great weather station at great price this is the perfect unit. This station has all the basics you would want and more. Rain gage that measures not only the amount of rain but hourly rain fall as well as 24 hour rain fall, weekly, monthly and rain event totals. The unit has a wind vain and anemometer for wind direction and speed, of course. It also has temperature with heat index and wind chill. We have a pool so I love that the unit measures UV index and Solar Radiation. Assembly: Not too difficult. Everything goes together pretty easy if you have a basic knowledge of putting things together. If you don't then call your kids or grandkids to come do it for you. Directions are rather long and wordy and at times seem out of order. It also has a few steps for optional equipment that does not some with this particular unit. Dug through the box looking for those things before realizing they were optional. The wind vain and anemometer cups slip on and you just need a small screw driver to tighten them down. Rain gauge twist into place and the wire filter pushes right in. The unit runs on solar power but uses two AA batteries as a backup. Took me a minute to figure out how to get the cover to slide off, I never want to push too hard and break something. The biggest issue you will have is how and where to mount the unit. I have a large yard and a garden framed with rail road ties out around 100 feet away from the house. I also had an old pipe with tripod feet that use to be on our roof with our internet dish that I was able to mount the unit too. I was able to bold the stand to the railroad ties so it is not going anywhere. The u-joints that came with the unit securely mounted the unit to the pole I had and was fairly simple. The thing to remember is mouth it facing north, which I was easily able to do using the compass on my iPhone and the arrow on top of the unit. And do not forget to check the level of the unit. It has a level dot on top. I thought I was done, but then noticed that and spend another 30 minutes trying to adjust the base and the u-joint and pole screws to try and get it perfect… then just got mad and bent the pole and BAM… unit level. It took the unit a few minutes to find the indoor unit. I had to then move it around to find the best spot for reception. I have tried moving it all over the house and the base has a tough time reading the station if you move it too far away or there are too many walls between the station and the base. I have it setting on one of my wife’s tables by a back window within eyesight of the weather station. It gets five bars there and is working great, however my wife thinks it clashes with the aesthetic of the table… can’t win them all. Pros: Within a few hours of setting the unit up we had a big rain event. Unit worked great. We got over 3 inches of rain over night. With wind and rain unit held firmly in place. Display is easy to read. Also easy to setup and create accounts on Ambientweather.net and other weather apps that let me check out the weather conditions at my home wherever I am. Cons: Not many major ones. Set unit DST (Daylight savings time) thinking it would automatically spring forward and fall back with time change, but instead it would randomly spring forward an hour. Once I turned DST off the clock has kept the correct time. I could see if you have a small yard, or are in an area where the house are close together, or have a lot of trees, you may have a hard time finding a clear, unobstructed, spot to mount the unit. Also, if you do not have an existing pole to mount the unit to you could spend as much on the poll and hardware as you spend on the station itself. As for the unit itself the wind gauge does not look to read over 99.9 mph. I live on the Texas coast, took a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey in 2017, so that is a possibility where I live. While the unit might not display wind speed that high it may still read that and post it on the Ambientweather.net site. Lastly, If you are not computer or tech savvy then have your kids, grandkids, or someone under the age of 25 come over and help you with that part of the set up. I had an issue connecting it to our WiFi trying to follow the directions, and my son took it and without even looking at the directions had it connected in about 30 seconds. Overall great weather station for a great price.
