Review: Pretty cool would have given it 5 stars but see the cons - Pretty cool would have given it 5 stars but see the cons. Giving 5 if console doesn't freeze up again (dropped after 2nd freeze). Back to 5 good support sent me a console to correct issue Pro: Setup worked pretty well but need to read a lot to get a clean setup. Connected easily to my wifi router. Very easy remote sensor setups. Has software abilities that are very cool. Connection to the Weather underground and ambient network, easy and very cool. Love the fact they provide a direct IP to my computer using Easyweather. Easyweather makes setup and loading console data a breeze. Mostly very impressed with this product and would recommended it highly so far. Technical support via email is excellent, really worked and issue!!!!!

It's value comes from the number of sensors, quality build, and accuracy that has thus far, been on par with my more expensive Davis Vantage Pro 2 Wireless Station. We got this station for my sister, who lives about 2 miles from where my Davis station is located. Other than manually having to adjust the barometric pressure, as we live at an altitude of over 6,500 feet, and this can sometimes cause a false reading on a lot of different weather stations, everything else was spot on out of the box. Setup was 1,000 times easier than setting up my Davis station, and everything just worked like it should from unboxing, to installation, to firing up the station and getting it online to report to weather underground. The trick though is an application that you download on your PC called Easy Weather. If you do this, you can pass up the tedious task of having to setup your station through the small monitor that shows you what your station is doing, the LED part of the station that you put up on your wall or set on your desk. If you setup this station through that small monitor, you'll be clicking the little buttons on it for hours, inputting everything from coordinates, to time, to elevation, ect... Using the PC application instead, you can do the same thing through your computer, and believe me, it's much easier to input numbers and letters with a keyboard than with those little buttons on the monitor! It wirelessly programs that monitor through your computer and setup only takes 5-10 minutes. Once that's done, it's ready to go! We got my sisters station up in about an hour, from installing it to programming it and having it report to weather underground. The other really big tip for those who live in areas that get cold, use lithium AA batteries in the outdoor sensor array. Alkaline batteries don't like really cold temperatures, and will go dead within a year from the cold itself. Lithium batteries are not affected in this way, and will last for many years. This way, you won't be needing to go out there and replace the three AA batteries in the sensor arrays belly, and depending on where you mount your station, that can be a pain to do every year. All in all, we are very pleased with the performance and accuracy of this weather station and I would highly recommend it for someone who don't want to spend a lot of money on one, but still wants the accuracy and quality of a more expensive model with all of the sensors you need! Plus, watching your station on the internet is a lot of fun, and seeing how different weather variables fluctuates throughout the day/night is very interesting. Before you know it, you'll be investing in a weather camera to go with your weather station, as the little "Missing webcam" image on your personal weather page on weather underground, is annoying as hell!! lol Have fun and enjoy sharing your weather with all of your family and friends!! ## Features - Includes Observer display module, (1) indoor temperature/humidity/baramoeter sensor, and (1) sensor array - Share live local weather data on the Weather Underground network - Multiple website and application integrations - Wireless sensors and WiFi connectivity - Indoor sensor require 2 x AAA batteries & outdoor sensor requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PSV10UK | | Additional Features | Uv | | Are batteries included? | No | | Battery Life | 2 Hours | | Brand Name | Ambient Weather | | Color | white | | Connectivity Technology | Wifi | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (460) | | Display Type | LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00816982014573 | | Included Components | {'Stand': 1, 'Cable': 1, 'Mounting Hardware': 1, 'Battery': 2} | | Manufacturer | Ambient Weather | | Model | WS-1001-WiFi | | Number of Batteries | 3 AA batteries required. | | Part Number | WS-1001-WiFi | | Power Source | Solar,battery Powered | | Sensor Technology | UV | | Shape | Rectangular | | Style Name | Modern | | Temperature Accuracy | 1 degree Celsius | | Temperature Reading Accuracy | plus_minus_1_degree_celsius | | UPC | 816982014573 | | Upper Temperature Range | 60 Degrees Celsius | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Are Batteries Included:** No - **Brand:** Ambient Weather - **Color:** white - **Connectivity Technology:** Wifi - **Included Components:** {'Stand': 1, 'Cable': 1, 'Mounting Hardware': 1, 'Battery': 2} - **Number of Batteries:** 3 AA batteries required. - **Power Source:** Solar,battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Uv - **Style:** Modern - **Temperature Accuracy:** 1 degree Celsius ## Images ![WS-1002-WiFi - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hKe4UYVcL.jpg) ![WS-1002-WiFi - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xNNEXAvaL.jpg) ![WS-1002-WiFi - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SKS4clumL.jpg) ![WS-1002-WiFi - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kSsyxQ3BL.jpg) ![WS-1002-WiFi - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BAFhEC4nL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a vacation house 250 miles away. I have fair to good internet. Would anyone recommend this for remote monitoring?** A: It should work fine. I live in Portugal on a remote farm using a 3G mobil phone connect to the internet (~5Mbps/.3Mbps service, 1.7 miles to the tower), ISANTARM9 on http://www.wunderground.com . So far everything has been working just fine and I am very happy with the unit, especialy the setup, basically just plug in the display unit. The outside unit and the inside unit communicate with the display panel, and the display panel commuicates (WiFi) with the router. You may like reading the 49 page manual that comes with the unit or read the PDF on the web at http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/Manuals/ws1000wifi.pdf Paul **Q: What is the difference between this and the WS-1200-IP? Does this have a forecast mode?** A: There is not a big difference. The 1200-IP uses a special transmitter to get data to the internet. The 1001 uses the console. Neither have a forecast mode that I know of. **Q: Does this come with any kind of mounting hardware? From the images it appears to be on pole but i can't seem find a pic that shows the bottom.** A: There's about ~4" stub out of the bottom (~1" diam.). Two u-bolt clamps are supplied for attaching that stub to a mast up to 1-3/8" O.D.. Mine is attached to a 10' pole (~1-1/4" O.D.) that's in turn strapped to a fence post on a hillside. They sell a bunch of mounting solutions, and you can either buy those or simply get creative with whatever you've got on hand for getting this thing in the air. **Q: Does the Ws-1001 have a way of storing and graphing historical data and present conditions on my windows PC?** A: You can download much historical data into a program such as Excel and work with it there, but otherwise you would use the Weather Underground site to display the data on your desktop or other device. That works out quite well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty cool would have given it 5 stars but see the cons *by B***Y on May 21, 2017* Pretty cool would have given it 5 stars but see the cons.
