ekg0477 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Looking for a decent home weather station - something that uploads data to WU. I looked on Amazon and found Ambient WS-2000. Any recommendations? ** Edit I've been a member and lurker for quite some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both can be hooked up to WU, have to be the software for it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemCountyNJ Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Agree with the Davis, I still have the original Davis pro wireless, working well for years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always an easterly wind hah That is off for me too for now. I need to mount it to my house. It was too cold when I tried last month (during the really cold snap). Figured I can live without the wind measurements for a few months. Once I was on WU i noticed my neighbor 2 homes away has one and his winds are mint, so I use his for that. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdp23 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just got my station mounted to the roof. My wife thinks I'm a dork since I'm excited haha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaffer526 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 My wife got me an Ambient WS-2902A for my birthday this Sunday...I only know because she asked them to ship it discretely and it came just in the box 😁 Needless to say, I'm very excited, although she is making me wait until the weekend to mount it. Woohoo!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mshaffer526 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Got the Ambient up and running...I have it mounted up on top of my daughter's large swingset structure...might move it to the rooftop in the future but figured that was a good first spot since it is very open and elevated. I love messing around with this thing already! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshaffer526 Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I apologize for the questions...does it normally take a length of time for the barometer in a weather station to calibrate? My pressure is reading at 29.92, while the rest of the stations in the area are in the 29.60's. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was too high but was able to manually lower it to match the stations around me. I forget how to do it off the top of my head though.
