Leave a Review Ambient Weather Network
New user experience
I purchased and installed the WS-2902D-WH31E wx station in July 2024 and am extremely pleased thus far. Installation was straightforward and I dutifully read and followed the instructions. The wx station console is well organized and the station itself is functioning well. It is connected into the Ambient Weather Network and the station and additional WH31E units are all reporting data. The graphing and charts are helpful.
However, there is a certain “clunkyness” to the AWN Dashboard. I would advise making it look more like my 2902D console with a concise display.
My big complaint is how often, when I open the AWN app, that I receive the dreaded “There’s no real time data yet. Give us a sec…” message on the dashboard. I’ve given it over 30 minutes and still no data. IMHO, this is not acceptable behavior. My internet operates on highly reliable a 200 MBPS fiber service (up & down) so the problem is not coming from my stations transmissions. What gives.Show lessThinksDeeply
Planned Obsolescence, Force You to Buy New Dashboards
I purchased the ambient weather station and console when I purchased my home. Everything worked great until the Internet disconnected. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to reconnect. Hours and hours I spent. Even got my internet company out to replace and reset the routers. Turns out, if you dig deep enough in the help documentation (and I'm pretty sure this was added a few months after I started troubleshooting), the console I bought has some kind of bug as of the beginning of this year and if it disconnects from the internet it's no longer supported. But oh hey, Ambient Weather will give me a discount off a new console! That's unfair. What's to say they won't depreciate the next one in less than a year, too, and force me to keep tossing out the console every year to buy a new one? What a waste and a disappointment. I guess it's time to take down the weather station and find some other sucker willing to take a gamble on this hobby and this company.Show lessdina_g
Very good weather app, 1 complaint
I primarily use the app to look at my home station weather and it is very good and stable.
My complaint is that when I launch it, the time of the data displayed is often displayed to be hours or days before even though I had previously launched the app minutes before. My preference would be to set the time and data to the current time. It seemed to be this way for a while but at least several months ago it reverted back.Show lessSpace wizz
