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
App Crashes When in Final Connect Sequence
I followed all instructions to the letter multiple times, and each time when doing the final configuration with the loading circle, the app states connection complete and then crashes. Console still has the flashing wifi logo and never connects to my home internet. I have tried splitting my home router’s networks, connecting to home and device networks in different order, and even switching apps in the middle of the loading sequence, all no joy. Please update the app for the newest iOS to fix this crashing bug. I would like to restore my weather console’s internet connection. Thank you.Show lessBenSerano
App doesn’t work for me. No customer support.
Like many users report in the reviews, I’m
unable to connect my WS2902 to my WiFi network. This app can not find the device after it says “installation successful.” I’ve sent 4 emails to customer support, and I’ve received no response. The weather station itself works well. I like to think I’m proficient with troubleshooting software, but this does app not work for me.Show lessAg in Tulsa
It just doesn’t work
After repeated attempts to connect the console to the Internet, the app fails to make a connection. I’ve tried on two different devices, an iPad with iOS 12 and an iPhone with iOS 16. I’m not surprised at the trouble I’m having given the poor reviews for this app. I hope that someone reads these reviews was and can do something about this.Show lessSFS1953
Firmware Upgrade
For the life of me I cannot get the app to connect to the weather station to do the upgrade. I’m on the same network and the app sees the weather station but all I get is the whirling loop of death! I’ve deleted the station and re-added it, power cycled it, deleted the app and reinstalled it… nothing has worked. The app needs to be updated it obviously has some bugs in it.Show lessBubbleflu
Difficult
After trying about 1000 times, I finally connected to Wi-Fi. I disabled my 5 GHz network. Using an iPhone. I went to settings, tapped wifi, tapped the i on my 2.4 GHz, scrolled down, and turned off private wifi address. Then, I followed the set-up instructions on this app. Finally, success!Spinster 9
Read the instructions!
I was concerned after reading the reviews, but decided to ignore the instructions and not turn off the 5Ghz bands on my triband mesh network. Sure enough, repeated failures. Then I did as the instructions clearly stated and voila! connected on the first try (full disclosure- I forgot to turn off the other mesh modes but had the unit very close to the main node so maybe that negated my laziness on this point). After 1 day, I enjoy the app. The iPad app is even better- the full display on the first screen and no need to scroll through as on the iPhone appShow lessFaithfulprayerwarrior
