User reviews

Nothing works.

The most useless app ever. If you’re here desperate to fix your ambient weather device, you will be sorely disappointed.

Nothing

This app does nothing.
Trying to connect new station WS-2902C to WiFi, it requires to select settings icon. But that icon is only available after you connect station to WiFi.
Useless app and device.

Trash

Worked fine for a year. Now the app will absolutely not work to get my weather station online. Pure trash

Worked great, when I bought it

I really liked this weather station at first. I was able to check the weather at my home while away on work or anywhere else while I was away from home. The problem is it won’t attach to my Wi-Fi now and everything I’ve tried won’t make it work. Looks like the company is forcing us to buy the newer product instead of maintaining the old product. Thanks a lot (heavy sarcasm).

Brand new 2902-D but garbage software

Ambient Weather says to use this app with the 2902-d. It’s garbage. Nothing works. I’ve tried multiple days, ways and devices and it will not connect. Resetting doesn’t help. Please give us an app that works! I love my weather station but it sure would be nice to use it as advertised!,,,,,,

FAQ

What does the AmbientTool app do?

The AmbientTool app was used to connect specific versions of the Ambient Weather WS-2902 Weather Station Console to your Wi-Fi router and the internet during the initial setup process. It enabled the console to report weather data to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN).

Why is the AmbientTool app being discontinued?

The AmbientTool app is being discontinued on January 31st, 2023. This means that after this date, users with affected WS-2902 consoles will no longer be able to reconnect their consoles to the Ambient Weather Network if they lose their Wi-Fi connection.

Which weather station consoles are affected by the discontinuation?

The discontinuation affects Ambient Weather WS-2902 Weather Station Console versions sold from December 2016 to May 2018. Consoles with model numbers WS-2902A, WS-2902B, and WS-2902C purchased after May 2018, and the newer WS-2902D, are not affected and use different setup methods.

What happens if my affected console disconnects after January 31st, 2023?

If your affected WS-2902 console disconnects from Wi-Fi after January 31st, 2023, and you need to reconnect it, you will no longer be able to do so using the AmbientTool app. While the console will still display readings, it will stop reporting personal weather station data to AWN.

How can I maintain my weather station's connection to AWN?

To maintain a connection to AWN, users with affected consoles are advised to upgrade to the Ambient Weather WS-2902D Console before January 31st, 2023. Ambient Weather is offering a discount and rebate program for those affected by this app discontinuation.
