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

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.

Coming from a 3yr old acurite that quit broadcasting, it seems to work good. Display is smaller then I'm used to but clear. Setup to WiFi and weather underground was the same as previous model. Have to really follow instructions. Time will tell how it holds up.

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.

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.

I'm completely happy with this weather station. I've always wanted something like this, and now that we live out in the middle of nowhere, I wanted something that can tell me the conditions where I am, not the nearest town 10 miles away. Directions on connecting and setting up were detailed and easy to follow. It did take some time and effort to correctly mount it, but once done there haven't been any issues. The readings have been consistent with official forecasts in the area, so I believe the results I am getting. We finally had a chance to test out the rain gauge with TS Francine, and it was very cool getting real time readings of rain totals and what the rain rate is RIGHT NOW. Some customer mentioned that the display was not up to par, and I don't agree at all, it shows everything I care about. And the app for my phone gives me even more detail.I was not solicited nor paid for this review.

Setting up the wi-fi to connect has been an absolute nightmare. We've tried several times and cannot get it to connect. We've even deleted the device from our app and tried reinstalling and nothing is working.

This is a great home weather station. It is pretty easy to set up and the display tells us all we want to check for our weather.

I should have returned this when I had a chance. The inside temperature is about six degrees off. The rain gauge only tells you how many inches it's raining per hour. It doesn't give you a total for the last day day or two.
