Ambient Weather WS-2902 WiFi Smart Weather Station

We don't have an optimal place for this, so I put it in the best of the suboptimal places. I can measure wind speed from the direction that we get the most wind from and get good rain measurement. This is not our first weather station but I like it better than the others that we have had over the years. It has a very nice display and was very easy to set up. There are lots of good reviews with great detailed information - so I will keep this short and just say that it works well, seems to be accurate out of the box and as I mentioned, set up was quick and easy.

I had purchased this similar model @ 6/7 years ago and the display console went bad, tried to get a new display console but it was just as much as a whole new setup. The old one did not have the app feature. I did receive the new one today at a sale price so I was very pleased with that. This is a nice unit got it setup in a matter of a couple of hours, I’m not very technical so I did have an issue with getting logged in to the app but contacted the support team and had a response in a matter of few minutes and they helped me out! So very good support. As you can see I mounted the sensor unit with a 4x4 post with a clamped 1” pole , works very well ( this was done from my previous weather station). Everything at this time is working very well and couldn’t be happier. What shows on the console shows on the app plus much more for the free version, they do have a subscription if you’re wanting to expand and experience more, for myself and just wanting to know what is going on around my home weather I’m home or somewhere else, the app feature makes that available for free unless you want to expand! Time will tell how long this one will last but if anything changes in the next year or two I’ll update.

UPDATE JAN 22, 2023: STILL WORKING GREAT.....THE PIC WAS TAKEN BEFORE I RAISED IT TO THE MAX HEIGHT POSSIBLE...ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE STILL APPEARS TO BE CLOSE TO 100%, NEXT TIME I WILL USE LITHIUMS, VERY ACCURATE, AND EVERYTHING WORKS....I AGREE SOMEWHAT WITH THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VIEWING ANGLE OF THE DISPLAY, BUT I USE IT IN MY OFFICE AND POINT IT DIRECTLY AT MY CHAIR, SO IT ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD......FOR THE BEST RESULT PUT IT IN THE LITTLE CLIP-ON STAND AND LET IT SIT AT EXACTLY 90 DEGREES STRAIGHT UP (NORMAL TO THE MOUNTING SURFACE)....IT'S QUITE NICE FROM WHERE I SIT MOUNTED THIS WAY. WARNING: THE DISPLAY WILL NOT UPDATE THE IPHONE APP IF THE AC POWER SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF...AND SOMETIMES MY HOUSE CLEANER TURNS THE WALL SWITCH OFF THAT THIS IS CONNECTED TO...BUT AFTER SWITCHING IT BACK ON, 5 MINUTES LATER THE APP WILL UPDATE CORRECTLY. HAVE NOT YET SEEN ANY BIRD PROBLEMS. ORIGINAL COMMENTS, 11-12-2022: Since I am a weather geek, I looked at several units and bought this one. Easy to assemble, but be careful as it is a bit fragile so care should be taken. I installed a third-party pole mount bracket on my barn shed and brought a 2" wood dowel rod and raised it up above the roof line. So far, very nice performance. Seems to be really accurate and setting it up on the web was easy. The wind direction seems to move a lot, but honestly, when I am in my yard working I notice variable wind direction all the time. The wind speed is usually lower than reported by Weather Underground....the pressure measurements coincide with expected drops and increases. I have not calibrated the pressure yet, might need tech support for that. In three months' time I have noticed only one anomaly, and that was no rain was reported during one recent rain event, and I thought maybe a leaf clogged something......but two days later it was back to working perfectly. So, I'll leave it alone for now. I like the idea of looking at other people's weather systems, and mine correlates well with those. The outdoor unit communicates seamlessly with the indoor display at a distance of at least 75 yards, maybe a bit more (???). I should have installed Lithium batteries, as you should too.......but I could not find them at the time I needed them, so I used Alkaline. The iPhone GUI reports the battery level and it's still full after three months. 3 AA's required. All in all, great unit. My only concern is how long will it last. Time will tell. If I could add something to the GUI, I would ask for a report over time, stored data for perhaps up to a year that can be presented logically. For example, when I cover my pool I'd like to know how much rain we got in a 1-2-3 month time frame to know when/if it needs to be pumped to keep the water line below wall tiles. Minor point. Have not required Tech Support, so no rating is possible.

Got this weather station to integrate into my home automation system. The weather station itself was an absolute breeze to set up and seems to be rock solid. It has been through 3 power outages so far and has had no issues connecting back to the display after the outage. The display itself is very clear and easy to read. And it integrated into my home automation system relatively easy. Just had to set up a simple mqtt broker and boom! This weather station is great. I would recommend it to anyone who is even the slightest but of a weather nerd.

Muy fácil de entender

nice product. working perfectly

Great bit of kit. Easy to setup and just ticks away. Gives all the data I want. Connects only on 2.4Ghz.

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.
