    • Great weather station at a good price
Style: Base Console + Array
Review Image by Bard Bard
Review Image by Bard Bard
I had been looking for a home weather station for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Mainly because I had the perfect poll for it that had been sitting under out carport for years and my wife threated to get rid of it with the next bulk trash pickup. Use it or lose it, so I put it to use. If you are looking for a great weather station at great price this is the perfect unit. This station has all the basics you would want and more. Rain gage that measures not only the amount of rain but hourly rain fall as well as 24 hour rain fall, weekly, monthly and rain event totals. The unit has a wind vain and anemometer for wind direction and speed, of course. It also has temperature with heat index and wind chill. We have a pool so I love that the unit measures UV index and Solar Radiation. Assembly: Not too difficult. Everything goes together pretty easy if you have a basic knowledge of putting things together. If you don't then call your kids or grandkids to come do it for you. Directions are rather long and wordy and at times seem out of order. It also has a few steps for optional equipment that does not some with this particular unit. Dug through the box looking for those things before realizing they were optional. The wind vain and anemometer cups slip on and you just need a small screw driver to tighten them down. Rain gauge twist into place and the wire filter pushes right in. The unit runs on solar power but uses two AA batteries as a backup. Took me a minute to figure out how to get the cover to slide off, I never want to push too hard and break something. The biggest issue you will have is how and where to mount the unit. I have a large yard and a garden framed with rail road ties out around 100 feet away from the house. I also had an old pipe with tripod feet that use to be on our roof with our internet dish that I was able to mount the unit too. I was able to bold the stand to the railroad ties so it is not going anywhere. The u-joints that came with the unit securely mounted the unit to the pole I had and was fairly simple. The thing to remember is mouth it facing north, which I was easily able to do using the compass on my iPhone and the arrow on top of the unit. And do not forget to check the level of the unit. It has a level dot on top. I thought I was done, but then noticed that and spend another 30 minutes trying to adjust the base and the u-joint and pole screws to try and get it perfect… then just got mad and bent the pole and BAM… unit level. It took the unit a few minutes to find the indoor unit. I had to then move it around to find the best spot for reception. I have tried moving it all over the house and the base has a tough time reading the station if you move it too far away or there are too many walls between the station and the base. I have it setting on one of my wife’s tables by a back window within eyesight of the weather station. It gets five bars there and is working great, however my wife thinks it clashes with the aesthetic of the table… can’t win them all. Pros: Within a few hours of setting the unit up we had a big rain event. Unit worked great. We got over 3 inches of rain over night. With wind and rain unit held firmly in place. Display is easy to read. Also easy to setup and create accounts on Ambientweather.net and other weather apps that let me check out the weather conditions at my home wherever I am. Cons: Not many major ones. Set unit DST (Daylight savings time) thinking it would automatically spring forward and fall back with time change, but instead it would randomly spring forward an hour. Once I turned DST off the clock has kept the correct time. I could see if you have a small yard, or are in an area where the house are close together, or have a lot of trees, you may have a hard time finding a clear, unobstructed, spot to mount the unit. Also, if you do not have an existing pole to mount the unit to you could spend as much on the poll and hardware as you spend on the station itself. As for the unit itself the wind gauge does not look to read over 99.9 mph. I live on the Texas coast, took a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey in 2017, so that is a possibility where I live. While the unit might not display wind speed that high it may still read that and post it on the Ambientweather.net site. Lastly, If you are not computer or tech savvy then have your kids, grandkids, or someone under the age of 25 come over and help you with that part of the set up. I had an issue connecting it to our WiFi trying to follow the directions, and my son took it and without even looking at the directions had it connected in about 30 seconds. Overall great weather station for a great price. ... show more

    • Works as it should and nice display
Style: Base Console + Array
Had a 15 year old station and this replaced it. Really like the display with all the info on one screen. Seems pretty accurate and even though the outdoor station is 40ft away from the console is has never lost connection. Like that all the sensors are on one station, makes it easy to install outside. Haven't used the APP yet, will get to that after the first of the year. ... show more

    • Finally, a weather station that delivers on what AcuRite promises - and great product support
Style: Base Console + Array
One additional comment to add to my review below. After writing this I started noticing some issues with the sensor briefly but regularly dropping the connection to the base at night. I called AW and the person who handles return issues answered the phone. With nothing more than a brief description of the issue and assurance that I was using fresh batteries she simply said she would send another sensor out right away. It works flawlessly. Yet another aspect of AW I am more than impressed with - super easy to work with and easy product support and a company that stands by their warranty. Just replaced my AcuRite 5 in 1 station with the Ambient Weather WS2902 - and so glad I did. Suffice it to say if this is your first weather station purchase this is the right one to get. If this is not your first station (and especially if you're an AcuRite user) read on for more details. I've owned a personal weather station for about three years now. When I first purchased the AcuRite I was quite happy and impressed with the functionality, but it didn't take long for issues to become apparent and increasingly frustrating. Sort of an irony that AcuRite isn't much of either - accurate or right. I can break down user experience into three general areas: 1. Functional Design. The Ambient Weather station (AW) is the clear winner and way, way ahead of Acurite (AR). For starters, the internet connectivity is built-in and utilizes wireless. AR makes you buy a separate "bridge" to join the station to the internet and even then the bridging device has to physically plug into a router which limits placement. That is a horribly outdated and expensive design. The AR bridge also could only report on the feed from the sensor which meant only outdoor conditions could be networked, the AW design allows network reporting for all the indicators on the console which means indoor as well as outdoor. AW did it right, virtually everyone who cares to own a weather station will want internet/network connectivity for record keeping and visibility and this unit is built to work. Setup with the AW station was a breeze...I was assembled, mounted, and up and running on Wunderground within 20 minutes, and most of that was with the physical assembly. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand. The AW sensor shape and design is also superior. The AR sensor was designed with a very large internal cavity, which in my case quickly became a spacious home for all manner of insects and even small frogs which inevitably affected the readings and reliability. It was a regular routine to have to dismount it, take the sensor apart and clean out the bugs and webs and put it all back together. The only real cavity with the AW unit is the rain gauge. The solar panels are also facing upward (the direction of the sun...duh) on the AW unit, and the AR had panels that were angled more perpendicular and had to face southward, which under some circumstances limited the light exposure to the panels. One note I will add though as an improvement suggestion for the AW design: There are compass readings stamped into the sensor below the wind vane that have to be used when mounting the unit to ensure directional accuracy. The stamped readings only face upward, and since most stations are mounted higher than eye-level that makes for a poor user experience. I easily got around it by placing a piece of red tape on the underside corresponding to "south" so I could see if from below when mounting, but it would be much better if the compass readings were indicated and visible from below. 2. Accuracy. Once again, AW is the clear winner. The AR temperature constantly read too high when in direct sunlight - to the tune of 2-5 degrees. It had a fan that was supposed to circulate fresh air to allow accuracy but it just flat did not work well enough. Also, on the AR unit the interior temperature on the console would become inaccurate when you turned the backlight on in the sensor. The light itself caused the temp to read several degrees too high (nice quality control, huh?) All the readings on the AW were spot on right out of the box. Temp, rainfall, etc were good with no calibration necessary - though all readings can be calibrated if needed, that functional adjustment is built into the console. The AR unit only had calibration for the rain gauge and that involved a manual adjustment of a screw in the sensor itself. 3. Durability. This is the one area I cannot yet commend the AW on, only time will tell. It appears to be a better-built unit so I am optimistic and will update this review as necessary. I can say that durability was another chronic problem with the AR. The first sensor just flat out failed to read one day and had to be replaced at my expense. Then, the second sensor developed a problem about a year into its life where it would just eat up batteries about every 3 weeks when they were supposed to last a year or more. From the volume of complaints about this on the AR support forum it was clear that there was a manufacturing defect causing battery issues that were extremely widespread, yet they did nothing to make it right – instead they just told people over and over to use fresh batteries. The AR was also built with plastic that weakened with exposure to UV light and weather. Several of the screw holes stripped out because of the weak plastic. The plastic on the AW sensor appears thicker and harder and is a brighter color which I suspect will help with the UV exposure issues. ... show more
