Ambient WeatherWS-1965 WiFi Weather Station w/Remote Monitoring and Ambient Weather Network Access

In this age of poorly translated and skimpy manuals, I was really impressed with the comprehensive and detailed manual included with this product. It included a quick start, and then a more detailed installation and operation manual.Installation and setup were a breeze. It did take a while to received an emailed reply to register the product.

This is a great weather station! I have it connected to my irrigation (b-hyve), so it won't water the plants if it has rained a certain amount. The wifi is a great feature too, and I love the hyper local forecast for my area, and the ability to see my neighbors weather! The screen is bright, and the screen can be looked at from any angle (not sure what the other reviewers saw. Maybe they fixed the issue?)

I've had this for about 2 weeks and love it and so far no problems.I like their layout and look on their website and IOS App showing my device and telemetry as well as being able to see others around me with weather stations that are reporting and their telemetry. The ability to also link to Weather Underground is nice.Setup was super easy and only took mins. I mounted it on a 1 1/4 PVC pipeThe only downside so far was the size of the display but I have since gotten over that and am happy as-is. They offer an addon larger display but it is a little steep.

Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted my OWN weather station at my home. It only took me 68 years to get the job done... I had looked at both very expensive and "cheap" weather station offerings, before settling on this setup from Ambient Weather. Setup was relatively easy, with the exception of calibrating the barometric pressure (a call to their tech support helped resolved my confusion with the written instructions, however). I later added a lightning detector, which added to the system seamlessly. If there was any "cons" to report with my setup, it would be that I am disappointed that my station only updates with Weather Underground once per minute, while most other local stations listed there are updating within seconds. This seems to be more of an issue with the Ambient platform that my station reports to, rather than the station itself. Ambient offers it's own app and online services to retrieve my live data, but it is not as impressive a presentation as what Weather Underground offers (plus, Ambient wants you to "subscribe" for upgraded features - somewhat of a turn-off in my book. Still, WU offers all I really need). Overall, if you're looking for a reasonably-priced weather station that is accurate, this would be your pick.

Works well

This is exactly what is presented in the description and works like a charm. The app that you download works great and we enjoy every day looking at our weather station and seeing what the weather will hold. The mounting brackets are strong and work great. We had no difficulty connecting it to our Wi-Fi and we attach it to a gazebo in our backyard so the wind direction might not be as accurate due to its proximity to our house, but we were mostly looking for wind speed temperature and rain.

Although the weather station works, to be able to use all the bells and whistles produces another cost. Setting up the Wi-Fi was difficult for me. Finally accomplished and tried to add my station to the Ambient Network. Last step was to add a credit card. It stated no charge would be made. However I was immediately hit with a $29.55 charge which my CC company flagged as fraud. I challenged and my CC did not pay.Have had the station up and running for 3 days. Display is easy to read and the temps seem to be accurate. Rainfall totals do not seem to be working.If I had to do it over again I would not buy it.

It is a great little weather station. However, my primary reason for getting it was to put it online with Ambient Weather Network (the one it is intended to use use with) but more particularly with Weather Underground. Unfortunately, after I first connected, the unit is failing to update on the network. It has gone for about two weeks now, failing to update. However, it says it is online and it is connected via Wi-Fi to my network and ISP. I have submitted a support request and have had a couple of requests for more information (photo of the base station display?), but no useful feedback about how to get my unit communicating with the weather networks. So, at this point, I can only give 3 stars. If they get back to me with useful advice, I will gladly upgrade my rating.
