Description
The Ambient Weather WS-2000 is a comprehensive local and remote monitoring package. The high-definition, full color TFT LCD display is easy to read, day or night, and includes a light and dark colored background. The console receives wireless wind speed, direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, UV and Solar Radiation from the outdoor sensor array. It can also receive barometric pressure, humidity and temperature from the optional indoor sensor (sold separately). The brilliant, dynamic color tablet combines measured parameters with calculated data, such as 'Feels Like' Temperature (Wind Chill and Heat Index), Dew Point, 10 Minute Wind Speed and Direction, Sunrise, Sunset, Moon Phase, Forecast, and more. The multi-screen display also includes NIST internet time server synchronization, imperial and metric units of measure, high and low alarm conditions with audible alert, calibration of all major parameters, and real-time internet weather publishing. The Sensor Array The wireless sensor array connects to the console via RF (915 MHz) up to 330 feet line of sight in open air (100 feet under most conditions). The wireless signal will not pass through solid metal, earth, or ground. The sensor array's primary power source is a solar panel which charges the super capacitor, with optional battery backup (batteries not included). The sensor array mounts to any pole between 1.25 and 2" diameter with adaptive mounting bracket and U-Bolt design that can be tightened to your mounting pole (not included). Data Transmission The WiFi settings are entered directly into the display tablet using the interactive buttons, and encrypted WiFi transmission is supported. The WS-2000 also displays minimum and maximum conditions with time and date stamp, historical archived data, which can be exported to SD Card (optional, not included) for advanced data analysis in Excel. The SD Card is also used for firmware updates. Forge connections within the weather enthusiast community by seamlessly linking your Ambient Weather station to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN). Customize your personal weather dashboard, organize your tiles with the measurements you prioritize, and label your sensors. Open the app and you will see an interactive map of weather stations, cameras, and map layers that provide a hyper-local view of current conditions. Set up email or text alerts for high and low conditions for every parameter; send multiple alerts, and view all past alerts in a handy timeline. The WS-2000 is STEM authenticated, and helps provide a hands-on, practical approach to learning about meteorology and enables students to connect the dots between the science they study and the weather they experience in their own backyards.

OK, I've had it set up for only a couple days now but this is obviously a very high quality product at a great price for what is provided. It includes a full color indoor monitoring screen and multiple methods for internet access (without any additional fees) which make it both extremely functional and very high value. I am new to Personal Weather Stations, but I just can't see how any other station could be any better, even regardless of cost. The indoor display and the web interface are exceptional. I'm a software developer (and natural born critic) myself, but I couldn't find anything to complain about the software and was impressed with the functionality. I especially like the very detailed historical charts of every measure which it shown on the website version. It doesn't seem that the indoor display can show historical charts so you need to go to web browser version to access these, but given how great the display is otherwise, this is a minor quibble. A few points: - The model number is kind of screwy as this "2000" version is superior to versions greater than 2000 - You need to get a pole to mount this on and have something to mount the pole to. I paid up for the Ambient Weather pole, but it's just a pole with mounting brackets, you could get cheaper from local hardware store. I mounted to a fence post - so far weather underground will not let me add this to their system, but it seems to clearly a weather underground issue, not the fault of the PWS (I get through all steps but before the final one, weatherunderground.com hangs). Apparently weatherunderground.com was bought by Weather.com and then by IBM and service/functionality is crashing Update - I bought the Ambient Wireless PM25 Air Quality Sensor to add to my dashboard of information. It required that I update the firmware on the display panel but after that it automatically detected the new sensor and displayed and started storing the information.

I have only had this weather system for several days, but here are first impressions of my WS-2000. 1) A shocker! I received a 78- page hard copy manual. Love it. Easy to read. Accurate descriptions and very helpful. 2) I have a laboratory thermometer and have checked both indoor and outdoor temps at various times and conditions. Very accurate. Consistently "spot on" or within a degree or less. 3) I had to replace my Davis Vue system after almost 8 years, but did not want to pay the current high price ($600+-). I first tried an AcuRite 5-in1 weather station last month, but the outdoor temp was typically 6-9 degrees too high when the sun was out. Poor design. I also had a bad experience with customer service, so I looked elsewhere. Stay away. 4) The WS-2000 in-house display offers a great deal of information, much more than the AcuRite system. It was also relatively easy to set up: an 8 on a1-10 scale. 5) The WS-2000 cost twice the AcuRite 5 in 1, about $300, but I definitely got added value that made the price worthwhile. I hope things continue to go smoothly. If not, I will update. Update: I forgot to mention the reason I gave "ease of setup" an 8 instead of a 10. It was VERY difficult to insert the black rain collector section into the base unit. Customer service just said you have to push "very hard" to get the tabs into the slots on the base of the unit. I pushed very hard, but fear breaking something. So, I used my utility knife to shave a very thin slice off each of the three plastic tabs. A firm push then succeeded in inserting the rain collector into the base.

I've had this WS-2000 for over 14 months now and love it!! It's not without flaws, but nothing is. The rain gauge stopped working after about 1 year, BUT I think that was my fault!! Continue reading for more details. Assembly: super easy. Ambient includes instructions that are easy to follow, and the WS-2000 does not require much assembly anyway. You basically attach the wind vane, cups, and mount the unit outside. Installation: Easy. I bought the steel tripod directly from Ambient, and am so glad I did! I used the "NHZ 16" Ground Rebar Stakes (8 pcs) Heavy Duty J Hook Ground Anchors" (see photo) from Amazon to anchor the tripod to the ground and they worked VERY well! Just use a small sledgehammer to pound them into the ground. That tripod will not go anywhere! (see photos) It is rock solid!! My weather station is located about 30-40 feet from my house. I would recommend the "spike kit" for the rain gauge (only about $6 from Ambient), that prevents birds from nesting in it. Electronic and network Setup: Easy. I followed Ambient's instructions and did not have any trouble getting my weather station to communicate with my console. There are a few extra steps required if you want to send your data to Weather Underground or to Ambient's website, but it's not too difficult. The outdoor weather station unit uses RF frequencies (not wi-fi) to communicate with the console, and the console uses wi-fi to send your weather station data to Internet websites (if you set it up for that). Console Display: Very good. Easy to see all relevant information at a glance and the color display is nice. I have mine sitting on an end table. The data most important to me are outdoor temp and humidity, baro pressure, along with wind speed, and rainfall amounts and rates. The console is not touch-screen (unless it's been updated since I bought it) and it's no iPad in terms of ease of use, but it's not bad either. A little clunky, but it does work. Power: the indoor console uses AC power. I keep mine plugged in all the time. You can set it so that the display comes on automatically at a certain time each day and goes off at a certain time each evening. (you can also turn the display on and off manually) Of course, if your house power goes out, so does the console power. It would be nice if it had a backup battery. The outdoor weather station uses two AA batteries and also solar power. I use Energizer AA Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are highly recommended for this type of use, as they are not affected by high or low temperatures, and are guaranteed not to leak. The optional extra sensors (WH32B) also use two AA batteries. Reliability: overall, excellent. My rain gauge did stop working after about 1 year. However, I discovered that the Ambient user manual recommends occasional cleaning of the inside of the unit, which I did NOT do. (see photo) Mine had accumulated a lot of dirt and debris that probably caused it to stop working. I bought a replacement rain gauge from Ambient for about $30, and replacing it was pretty easy. You only have to remove a connector from the old rain gauge (see photo) and attach that connector to the new gauge. Ambient does provide instructions. I'll be sure to maintain this new rain gauge and it will hopefully last much longer. Rarely, the outdoor unit stopped communicating with my console for unknown reasons. But this typically lasted a very short time (minutes) and it restored connection all on its own. Sometimes, you may need to "reset" the outdoor transmitter, but you can do this from the console using the instructions in the WS-2000 manual, and it's not hard to do. Tech Support: I only had to call Ambient once, when initially setting up the unit. I don't remember what question I had, but I know they helped me and resolved my issue. Ease of Use: I'd give it 9/10 overall. Slight deductions for the console, which can be a little clunky to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad at all. Otherwise the system is largely "hands-off" once it's up and running, and all you have to do is monitor the data when you want to. Speaking of data, I think you can save weather data records to a small memory card that you install in the Console. I've done this - but never actually did anything with that stored data - yet. I believe you can export it to a spreadsheet, etc. Overall thoughts: I'm very happy with this unit, and would buy it again! Considering that the weather station is outside 24/7, 365 days per year, it's been ultra reliable. (again, I think the rain gauge stopping was my fault for not doing any maintenance on it - as recommended by Ambient) We get some pretty cold temps here in Western PA, and the system didn't miss a beat. In my opinion, this unit gives the average person everything they want in a weather station, without anything unnecessary. I know indoor and outdoor temps, humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall rates and amounts, wind speed and direction, and other things like UV strength, etc. I bought a couple of the Temperature, Humidity, and Pressure Sensors (WH32B) and have one in my dining room (see pic), and one in my uninsulated garage to monitor temp and humidity. The console gives the info for these sensors, alternating from one to the other. Really handy. You could put a temp sensor in an attic, basement, or whereever you want one. I think the price is not bad considering what you get. I love the ability to add extra temp/humidity (and I think other types of) sensors. This system works well. I can see my data from the console, or from the Ambient or Weather Underground apps on my phone, from anywhere I happen to be in the world. (including optional WH32B sensor info using the Ambient app) You could be on vacation, for example, and still monitor weather conditions around your home AND the internal temp of your home if you use the WH32B sensors. This is great information to know and sort of a neat hobby. I highly recommend this system from Ambient!

First off, if you just want a simple personal weather station and aren't bothered being limited to two online services, then the kit, as-is, will work well out of the box. Instructions are fine (this is really dead simple) and you should be up-and-running in 30 minutes or less. That said, if you want to upload to more services, or are looking for value, the equation is more complex. The array and indoor sensor broadcast at 915 MHz, so you could pick those up and process their feeds without the panel. That said, the panel simplifies uploading weatherunderground style data to a custom server, e.g., weewx (this is only available if you unlock it via the awnet app; this is not in the instructions). This seems to happen fairly frequently, probably as soon as a data packet is received (reportedly every 16 seconds or so for the array and 64 seconds for the indoor sensor). I.e., the panel acts as a 915 MHz receiver and relay and has a nice display as a bonus. At this point, the question becomes: is this good value? Well, the main part is the sensor array, which is a Fine Offset WH65B (FFC ID WA5WH65B). You also get an indoor temperature sensor (see below), and a display panel, which is a Fine Offset HP2550 running some lightly customized software. Many, many brands white-label these parts (e.g., Ecowitt), so you could find a better deal elsewhere or possibly find the components individually. Whether that is worth the time and effort depends on how much the package costs when you're thinking about buying it. For $200 this is a fairly convenient package that works well. A few notes: 1) The indoor sensor, which is a Fine Offset WH32B (FCC ID WA5WH32B) appears to only display temperature in Fahrenheit. Would recommend immediately cracking it open to see if there's a way to change that so you can use normal units, although I did and couldn't find a simple way. 2) The pressure gauge, of course, reads actual pressure. This can be adjusted for altitude somewhat simply or adjusted to sea level pressure using a more complex formula. The display panel will do neither adjustment out of the box to display what it calls "relative" pressure, and the most it can possibly do is apply an offset. This is close enough for an approximation of altitude pressure, but the panel should display this offset value as either offset pressure or altitude pressure. Their recommended method of setting the offset is garbage. Instead, calculate altitude pressure as closely as you can using your altitude and upload your data to a system (like weewx) that can actually computer sea level pressure. Then compare that value to a known-good reporting station that is guaranteed to be in the same pressure zone.

I purchased the Ambient Weather WS-2000 Smart Weather Station on Amazon and I couldn’t be happier with it. This thing is packed with features and delivers accurate, real-time data right to my phone. Setup was straightforward — everything connected quickly and the outdoor sensor array is very well built. It measures temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, rainfall, UV index, solar radiation, and more. The readings match up perfectly with my local weather reports, and the WiFi connectivity works flawlessly with the Ambient Weather app. I love being able to check conditions in my backyard from anywhere. The indoor console is clear and easy to read, and the data updates are fast. It’s also been holding up great through rain, wind, and heat with no issues. This station gives me way more detailed local information than generic weather apps. Perfect for gardeners, weather enthusiasts, or anyone who wants hyper-local data. Highly recommend the WS-2000 — great quality and fantastic value for a full-featured smart weather station!

We like to know how much it rained or how cold it got for the care of our landscape and other plants. I had a high end Davis Pro II for many years, but now retired and no room for the big one. This one is small, easy to put up, cost a lot less and had a better display. We like the colorful display as it tells the temperature and has the high and low also indicated. The rain display tells how much it rained today, the storm (if it rains every day for awhile), every week, month and for the year. It's colorful and the display can be shut off if it's too bright at night. I already had an account with Weather Underground and was easily able to add this weather station to my count. It gave me a station ID (KTXGEORG813) and a password. Then I downloaded the software from the App store (Apple in my case, but there is an Android one). The software connected to the station easily. I then put the Wunderground information into the app (as above) and placed the display where it stays connected to the station outside and the internet inside. There are a lot of variables, but if you play with it and get everything firmly and connected stably, the station sends information to the display for you to see whenever and upload automatically to Wunderground. The cool thing is there is also a personal weather station app at the app stores (PWS) and I can put it on my phone and see weather conditions at my station and any other station in the world! Free! I did have to find a J-pole to find that one spot where I could put the station to get the rainfall and a reasonable wind and temperature. Its been up for about a month now, but was fairly easy to get working, not so easy to climb to the roof top, mount my pole and stay safe.

Update, late September 2025: the Ambient Weather WS-2000 has proven to be extremely reliable and accurate. I have a calibrated manual gauge I use to report rainfall totals for Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS). The WS-2000 is typically within 0.01" of the manual gauge, which is surprising based on my experience with other manufacturers. The price point is somehwt higher, but so far has proven to be worth the difference. We live remote from the news stations we watch, so it's nice to have something reliable "locally". Temperature readings are +/- 2 degrees from the local airport, so well within range. I did add a lightning detector given our location. I've set a series of alerts via the web app, for example to tell me when lightning is closer than five miles, or when a wind gust has exceeded 20mph, for example. Very pleased with the performance to date... (Initial review, late January 2025) Ambient Weather is now the third vendor I've used for our personal weather stations. We had an Acurite for over 14 years that our daughter bought us, which finally just wore out in the Texas weather. Reviews for the current Acurite model gave me pause, so I went with a different vendor with higher functionality (supposedly.) I fought with an InsaneLogic for almost a year and finally threw in the towel last month. That digital unit in a year never ONCE matched rainfall totals of those in a calibrated manual gauge, typically off by a large amount. (Note, that new unit was mounted in the same location as the previous Acurite, which might have been off by 0.02" typically.) Granted, the price point on this unit is a pretty good bump. But I'm stunned by the level of precision during the first month's use. I did calibrate the unit's absolute barometric pressure, and my readings are +/- 0.01 inHg of those of the regional airport. Key point: when we initially got the original Acurite, we lived in a metropolitan area, so rainfall totals were a primary focus then. We live in a more remote location now, 90+ miles from any local television station, hence the interest in more location-specific data. There's a dizzying array of add-on sensors available for various functionalities. I may get a lightning sensor, as our location is somewhat remote and it would be nice to know if lightning is within a 25 mile range. I'm not implying this is a one-size-fits-all weather station given the price point. But to this point, I'm extremely pleased with the price to performance ratio. And I will definitely update the review and relay additional information should that change.
