Ambient Weather WS-2902 WiFi Smart Weather Station

Q: Is the outdoor sensor "hi quality"? I have had 2 Acurite outdoor sensors electronics fail in a 1 Yr. I am a full time Rv'r / camp in any weather

I bought an Ambient 0900 weather station 6 years ago and took it down today. The base unit (inside the house) had failed, probably due to a power surge. Amazingly, other than turning from white to beige, the sensor array was just as functional as the day I put it up. Even more remarkably, its two AA Energizer batteries (never use Duracell, which leaks!) only needed one change in that 6 years. I note that this sensor array uses similar construction, including stainless shafts and ball bearings. It might even be possible to replace the anemometer and wind vane if they should ever break. As shipped, the user installs those onto the stainless shafts with set screws. So in short, yes! I didn't expect much from my last unit, but it certainly went the distance - far more so than my prior Davis anemometer!

Q: What differentiates this from higher priced options like the ws-1002-wifi? Software connectivity doesn't matter to me. Are the sensors lower quality?

No, they are of equal quality. The console on the WS-1002-WiFi is much nicer with multiple screens and TFT display. This is LCD with color film. The WS-2902 is a very capable unit.

Q: Can it only be line of sight ?

Wireless devices transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal, generally in the 400 – 900 MHz range. The manufacturer will rate the maximum transmission distance as line of sight. However, the signal will transmit through walls and other obstructions. The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below. Medium RF Signal Strength Reduction Glass (untreated) 5-15% Plastics 10-15% Wood 10-40% Brick 10-40% Concrete 40-80% Metal 90-100% RF will not transmit through metal barriers. If you have aluminum siding or a metal roof, it is unlikely the RF signal will transmit through this barrier. RF will not transmit through earth. For example, if the receiver is placed in the basement, and the earth or ground is obstructing the line of sight transmission, it will not receive the signal. Interference can be an issue. In general, wireless internet, phones, security systems and other low power devices have little interference effect. Ham Radio and other high power applications may lose data when transmitting. Helpful Hint: Wireless phones transmit at similar frequencies and power levels as wireless weather devices. If you have a wireless phone (not a cell phone), place the receiver where you would place the weather station receiver and attempt to use the phone where you would place the transmitter. If you can not use the wireless phone, it is unlikely the weather station will work either.

Q: Can i use 2 separate display consoles with the ambient weather ws-2902? i'd like to see readings in 2 different areas of the house.

I have two display consoles and it works great. One upstairs and one on ground floor. I can see both on-line and on phone via app. I set alerts in case HVAC issues, which is great benefit as well. I ordered WS-2902A-CONSOLE-KIT which is what you need.

Working well

I purchased this device few months before for my farm in remote location. Initially i faced problem in console’s connectivity with WIFI, faulty console was replaced by the company. Really i appreciate them for sending this part from USA. Now it is working well, only issue is if WIFI is not available data is not buffered even one day and that day’s data lost. Other than that not faced any problem. Since their customer care is not available in India if we mail to them, they respond mostly same day.
