Turn of Cellular data…
Could not get my weather station to connect at all, I tried for 30 minutes with countless attempts. Found a note about turning of your cellular data. I did that and my weather station connected on my first attempt with this app. Again TURN OFF YOUR CELLAR DATA and it will work on your first attempt.Show lessGray hair geek
Got it to work no problem, here is how
So this is what I had to do to get it to work.
1) Connect to YOUR wifi that is a 2.4 gHz band. My guest network is only this so that is what I use.
2) open the app
3) when it prompts you to, go to your wifi settings and connect to the Ambient weather’s WiFi.
4) BEFORE going back to the app, make sure whatever your normal WiFi routers are, go to each and toggle OFF “automatically connect” to each of these.
5) BEFORE going back to the app, make sure the WiFi symbol in the top right has gone from WiFi (from your old connection) to cellular (bars, this means no WiFi right now), to then WiFi connection once you’re connected to the weather system’s WiFi.
6) go to the app, fill out the info and connect.
Had no issues this way and worked on my first try
5) go back to the ambient weather app.Show lessMoose R Fuzy!
This App is HORRID
If only negative stars were available. I have a new 2902D system with the new console. I have tried two different routers that connect other 2.4GHz device with no issues at all including Lifex bulbs, security cameras, etc. I have plenty of capacity in my system for additional connected devices. I have turned off all other nodes on my mesh network. I have turned off the cellular data and done REPETITIVELY all the steps on the support pages.
I have been working for two weeks to try to get this console to connect. The app always reports that it is connected to Wi-Fi successfully but then the app crashes with no connectivity.
At this point I keep hoping that some weather leprechaun will just show up and magically make it work like so many other random posts online indicate for this system. This appears to be a notoriously recognized failure of an app at this point.
Bottom line: if you are reading reviews before making an informed purchase of a weather system, RUN!!! Or, at the very least wait until they develop on app that doesn’t crash or require throwing Pennies into a wishing well until something mysterious occurs causing random functionality!Show lessindy-archer
