Leave a Review Ambient Weather Network
Ambient weather
My husband and I operate a small Christmas tree farm. The spring rains are vital to get our new trees the start they need. We are constantly checking the rainfall and and amounts to ensure a good growing season. We also are very rural and rely on weather information such as snowfall, etc. to navigate our daily lives. Ambient weather can also be accessed remotely so we can check the weather while on vacation. Ambient weather information is great!Show lesspopsickle man
Nice Device But Difficult to Set Up
I researched several home weather stations and found this one a good value for the money. It records numerous parameters and has a nicely laid out dashboard for the computer and a easy to read base station (albeit a bit too touch sensitive).
My biggest complaints are that it is very difficult to set up to wifi and it is nearly impossible to set up as a station connected to the internet weather services such as Weather Underground.
Though customer service is polite and helpful, I have spent a lot of time on the phone with them trying to connect my unit to wifi whenever it gets moved or falls offline for some reason. They have never been able to help me connect the unit to the internet weather networks.
The system needs to be able to work with 5G as well as 2.4G wifi networks (which it does not). It needs to be more plug and play.Show lessAv8torguy
Works well decent app
The ambient weather app has always worked well for me since August 31, 2021. It is easy enough to navigate once you know your way around. The menus could be made a little bit more easier to navigate especially in weather data mode. Adding devices was easy and setting alerts always work for me. I truly do enjoy my ambient weather station.Show lessbowinick
Great home weather station - clunky app
I love all the data we collect from our home weather station. In addition to the real time temperature, wind, rain, and other basics, we added wireless thermometers around the house and a water thermometer in our river! It’s all displayed in the app. BUT the app doesn’t do justice to all the great data. It’s so clunky. Ambient needs to hire a true designer who knows how to turn data into a cool visual presentation.Show lessSJT 53

Stop working
Great app for my weather station but stopped working on my phone… no idea whyGonzopph
Pleasant, but unstable
This app is quite nice to use and navigate. It presents plenty of data in tile form and as graphs, and allows you to look at data published by other stations.
While overall I like it, it has a rather annoying bug, where every day or two it spontaneously loses the plot and drops into a “something went wrong” screen. Restarting the app and logging back in clears the error, but it is not at all obvious that this is how to restore service.Show lessbos31337
Spontaneously switches from 4-tile display to 2-tile display
The app seems pretty good. It’s been solid for me so far, but I really prefer 4-tiles across. Sometimes upon launch it gives me 2 giant tiles instead. I don’t need them so giant. A toggle switch for one or the other would be great, and even better, letting us drag and drop the tiles in any way we choose would be good too! Thanks!Show lessender21
Very Good App - But Has One Major Flaw
This is an excellent weather station app even if you don’t own a weather station. One of the best things for me is that once you lock into your selected station, the app gives you the data for that station regardless of what is going on with other stations in the area. Other apps will begin eliminating access to a station because its data doesn’t conform to what their software algorithm says is reasonable.
I have one gripe though…
The rainfall accumulation is automatically reset for event, day, week, and month but not for the year. After month is “total” which is the accumulated rain since the weather station came on line. What kind of continuing metric is that? It would be nice if the app had the option to reset the total manually so that if someone wanted a “from the beginning of time” reading they could have it but the rest of us could see what has happened this year.Show lessCoultrt
Still just a white screen
Update: responsive staff and resolved the issue.
A version or two ago, the app does nothing. Just opens to a white screen. Have to visit the website through Safari to see any real-time data.Christian_Troy
