Stinks

Can’t find locations. Now lost everything. Bad

Ridiculous

I think the instructions here are very unclear. I have spent a good majority of my day fiddling around with my weather network app. This company has to do something better than what it has been doing. I was looking forward to using the ambient weather camera. I read the reviews on Amazon and through caution to the winds and ordered it. I have now spent about eight hours, deleting, reconfiguring and doing and handstands, lighting candles to the Internet, gods everything else that I can think of. Unless I make a breakthrough in the next 30 minutes. I’m boxing up the camera and sending it back. Please do not make the same mistake I did.

Questionable

Loved it when I first got it. Worked great. Now the indoor monitor does not stay connected to the outdoor station. No. Matter. What. I. Do. To. Fix. It. It’s quite frustrating. I’ve spent countless hours trying with no success.

Setup

Initial setup sucks of the Weather Station WS-2902D. Get your geek cap on. App software should enable the configuration. If you routinely do said configurations, of course it is simple. The mobile app should get it done. Not.

Sensor Array fails

I’ve gone through 4 units in the past 2 1/2 years. The sensor array keeps failing and tech support now just says buy a new one

Indispensabile

Love my weather station…not sure I could live without it

Not intuitive

The app is not intuitive at all. Nice weather station poor app.

Notications

Notications stopped working.

My rainfall graph went away. Don’t know how to get it back

Connectivity

I have had an Ambient PWS for a number of years and have been able to check on my station from wherever I am. I have the WS-2902D my original console dropped WiFi connectivity and I saw that there was an upgrade program that should resolve the problem I got a new console that I paid for and the issue continues.

Wh31e sensor

I purchased this compatible sensor to use w/my 2902 but it won’t add w/out a MAC address that isn’t anywhere to be found.

Missing yearly totals

I'm assuming some kind of update removed the outdoor yearly totals for rain and high low temperatures, so now I have to go to the device itself and punch a bunch of buttons to find the information

Lame!!!!!

Installing my new weather station.

Why did they take the “wind chill” option off?

App stopped working after update/ no tech support

July 2026. Data that was available with the original purchase and was advertised as such is now behind a paywall. This simply isn’t right! As a gardener I rely on monthly rain totals and this information being available to me is why I purchased this particular system. So going back on the original agreement simply isn’t right and needs to be dealt with by reporting this behavior to the consumer protection agency. Greed is the enemy of the consumer.


The app stopped working after the update one week ago. I notified Ambient Weather about the problem, app will initiate the logo pops up then it goes to white screen and stays there. But no one has responded. I’ve read that others have had this issue as well. The station works and the app works on my iPad but it’s really more convenient to use the app on my iPhone. My iPhone has plenty of memory and a strong internet connection. The company should have responded by now. A week is just unacceptable given the price of the weather station. Also, the lighting detector is almost useless at all settings. I’ve tried multiple settings on the Reddit page but none works for me. The best setting I found is hit or miss. I got 67 strikes when a major storm hit then the next day two large strikes hit directly over my house but the detector didn’t catch them. That’s an expensive device that I really regret buying. There’s also a bit of deception from the company involving being able to use the desktop to track the information from the station. In the pictures on the site it shows all three devices, phone, tablet and computer as usable for tracking but you’ll need to pay extra to use it on your computer. In hindsight I think I would have gone with a different system.

Great weather system

This system is great to have. My favorite part is seeing the rate the rain is coming down. Accurate with the amount of rain in a given day.

Great but…

Love having the real time stats and being able to see neighboring stations as well. One thing I’d love to have is daily totals even just for 1 week at a time so we can see the previous day(s) without having to calculate the week’s running amount minus the current day’s amount.

Ridiculous

Just wanted a simple wireless device to collect some weather data such as wind direction, relative humidity, etc. This is not it. Can’t connect device outside to the console inside easily. And it’s all about paying a subscription. No thanks
