I would love to upgrade from my lacrosse system and was wondering how all of you guys feel about this. I am newbie and would love to upgrade my game.

I would like the units displayed on console to be metric. I have looked everywhere and I cannot find any information for changing units on AW 2902 display console. Any idea how to do it? Thank you in advance!

I've got an Oregon Scrintifig BAR898HG weather station, but I am missing the THGR228N remote thermo-hygro sensor. These seem to be no longer available. But there are similar remote sensors sold on AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006284350745.html).

Are they compatible?

Are there any other inexpensive sources?

I've bought my first weather station last week - GoGen Me 3900 Wifi (everything looks exactly the same as Ambient Weather 2902). It is currently sending data to Weather Underground, Ecowitt and WeatherCloud. But none of these sites have their "good looking" apps and widgets.

Is there an app that has a widget which will be getting data from my own weather station?

My welcome message said to post about my weather station. We have an Orion Weather Station for our primary data on the office roof. Anyone can view the data from our cloud server at this link:

CWS Office Weather Station

It's also on Weather Underground at KORHILLS92 -- Hawthorn Farms, Hillsboro. Oregon.

We have a very small, family-owned company that manufactures weather stations primarily for industrial, commercial, government use in the $4k-10k range. But no sales pitches!

Just happy to chat, offer a tip or two, and enjoy the weather enthusiast community!

Hey Everyone

I have a Ambient Weather WS-2902. I have had it on a pole in my yard about 6 feet up for the last year or so. On the front on my house I have an old satellite dish. I am wondering if you think that would be a better location to put it. It would put it a about a foot high, and over the edge of the roof. This would obviously make it higher, but I wondered if there were any other drawbacks I should be aware of such as heat coming off the roof etc. Any help would be great!

I sent the following to Ambient Weather a couple weeks ago, and they never replied. Maybe folks here can help clarify:

I'm ready to buy a WS-2000 but a little confused by what Sensors I need. According to https://ambientweather.com/ws-2000-smart-weather-station , the kit comes with a WH31E but also says "It can also receive barometric pressure, humidity and temperature from the optional indoor sensor (sold separately)**".  There's no option to add a WH32B on the kit-builder page. How can I get barometric pressure?

So folks, is barometric pressure something built into the console? Or perhaps the outdoor sensor array? If I get more than one WH31E or WH31P (planning 2 each) do they feed barometric pressure? Or do I need to explicitly order a WH32B? The wordings on their website are a bit vague, confusing, and contradictory.

Hi. I have Oregon Scientific BAR208HGX. it's external temperature sensor has a problem with batteries.

The sensor switched off yesterday. The red light switched off, so I thought the batteries were dead, so I replaced them.

After I replaced new batteries, the red light switches on only for a second, then switches off, like the batteries are dead.

Does anyone know why is this happening? Is the sensor broken? Can I make it fixed or replaced, if my barometer model is no longer produced?

Just to get basic weather information to help plan my flights.

Ecowitt seem to be using their Chinese connections again (dcloud.net.cn) they did this a while ago too for a few hours. Hopefully it'll be the same and back to normal soon.

I live in tropical regions and I tested the WS2000 array with a water hose the single spoon couldn't get back up to measure. Would it be ok in very heavy rain? In my opinion a lost in measurement would happened. And how they measure in drizzle condition as well? Thanks

Looking to set up a remote weather station in the desert Southwest.
Location is on a Yurt that has no utility power or internet. They have 1200W Solar and 900 Ah battery capacity. There are other utilities on this service. Mounting location is on a 4" rigid conduit that the Solar is mounted on. I will likely take this down to a 1-1/2 or 2" pipe. The location would be above the junipers so unaffected wind and hopefully little debris into the rain bucket.

Current thought is a Cellular modem (2 bars 4G LTE available), Beelink mini PC, 5 port managed PoE switch.

The end game is 2 Webcams and a weather station on site. Looking for wind speed (gust) and direction, Temp, and Rainfall amounts. This information would be uploaded to the website for a local bike shop.

Temptest or Ambient Weather are looking like the best solutions. Trying to keep it under $350. My concerns are:

1: RF to Wifi. Are there any budget level stations I'm missing That are powered by PoE or 12VDC + Ethernet without going to a full Campbell station? I don't need the information displayed inside and going through multiple modes of transmission seems like more room for error. I live 5 hours away from the jobsite. The Ambient station says WiFi adds power consumption, is that vs just the digital readout or is there a way to transmit data through ethernet?

2. Ultimately this data is going to be scrubbed and available to an external website. Do either of the models mentioned above provide a web interface that can be brought onto a website?

3. Rain sensors - Hipatic vs rain bucket. These won't necessarily be used for forecasting, so don't need immense accuracy. Between the two, is one more accurate than the other? Does one require more maintenance? Is the rain bucket heated? Does it automatically dump hourly?

I'm sure this has all been beaten to death over the years. If there are other link/threads/resources I'd love to see them.

Thanks

For those interested, this is my backyard "mesonet" site I built over the last few years and am slowly upgrading to galvanized piping (was too cheap back then and was using PVC). So here's the newest rebuild of the station.

Specs:

• CR6 datalogger
• RM Young 05103-45-5 Alpine wind monitor
• Campbell Scientific CS500 T/RH sensor
• RM Young 41342 fast response platinum-tip RTD
• Texas Electronic TE25 tipping rain gauge
• LICOR LI-200R pyranometer (solar radiation)
• Vaisala PTB101B barometric pressure sensor

​

Next upgrades include:

• New guy wire system
• FARS (fan aspirated radiation shield)
• Increase anemometer height to 3-4 meters (~10-12 ft)
• Reinstall the anemometer to the garage rooftop?
• Replace CS500 with a newer T/RH sensor (CS500 is VERY outdated and out of cal.)

Hello community,

Those that have La Crosse Weather Stations and got them connected to the Wi Fi, has your time changed for Daylight Savings??

Mine is stuck on the old time. Every time I manually adjust the time, it reverts back to the wrong time.

C88428 is my model number.

Thanks :)

After purchasing a ws5000 in december, I have been experiencing connectivity issues well within the recommended reception distance. After testing the device, resetting it etc etc, getting ghosted on two different support tickets, missing emails from them, they made me pay for my own shipping for them to test it themselves. They will not send me a new or refurbished device. It has been 3 months since I purchased this thing. I just got a new door lock mailed to me from one phone call because not all companies suck.

Background: Last year Jeff sent me Tempest for Youtube series we were doing on Consumer Weather Stations. My last communication with him was Dec 15, 2023. As I have been unable to resolve BT connectivity issues with our unit for an extended period of time, I sent another query today, and received this bounce about a minute later, "550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist."

I sent a query via their support form seeking clarification, and will update if appropriate.

Hi all, I am wanting to put up multiple weather stations, maybe 5, in remote locations (no WiFi limited cell service) and would like to log the data. There are some options from YSI and Onset but they are a bit bulky and quite expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could record the data from one of the “home” weather stations? Could I do this with a Vantage Vue and Davis Weather Link?

I'm using a couple of WH51 soil moisture sensors in my yard, and my GW1100 hub won't read them if they're more than ~100 feet away.

Would the GW2000 have better range? Not sure if there's any difference in the antennas on these two gateways.

I have an existing Vantage Pro 2 with WeatherLink Live which was communicating just fine. I wanted to upgrade to the WeatherLink console. I went through the configuration process for the new console and data is reporting in the new console. However, data is not being updated in the Weather Link database or through iOS app. Has anyone else replaced their WeatherLink Live with a WeatherLink council? I can’t find any information on how to do this. The goal really is to swap WeatherLink live out for WeatherLive Console and that’s all. I want to keep all my existing data and everything, any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

I am hoping to add a second console to display weather conditions from an Ambient WS-5000. I have a second WS-5000 console, it I am not able to get the information weather station data to the second console. I have added it to the Wi-Fi network but can’t find much documentation on how to add it.

I would be very appreciative of any links, ideas etc.

I know for a fact that static pressure will drop due to dynamic pressure.
So If I place it hanging in the window is it going to be more fluctuate than normal?
and front-facing wind wall scenario as well does the pressure reading higher than it should be because the wind is pressing on the barometer(wall)? The front-facing wall will have higher pressure than the other side.

I just pick up and set up an ambient weather 2000 and osprey sensor. Everything is great for connecting to Ambient Weather Network but no luck with weather underground any ideas?

Hi y'all - this may seem like a dumb question, but I would love to create an at home weather station without investing in another expensive piece of equipment if possible.

I have a handheld Kestrel (i think the Kestrel 4000?). Is there anyway to use this and/or combine it with other equipment to make an at home weather station I can use to report conditions?

Thanks for any input you have!

I am looking for an analog min/max thermometer to pair with my CoCoRaHS 4" rain gauge. Looking on Amazon, ebay, and Fischer Scientific most of the analog thermometers seem to be the same cheap Chinese models that have a lot of negative reviews.

Are there any reliable and reasonably accurate analog min/max thermometers still made? Or should I give up and get a digital one?

Cant get my Ambient 2902 to report. Its connected to internet but wont report to the web or my app. Has anyone found a fix

Hello all

I have a ambient weather ws 5000 and some thermopro t65b and wanted to know if i could sync the sensors from the t65b with the ws5000 tablet

Is there any way to easily view the date of the max and min temperatures for the year without having to download all the data and looking for it manually? I have the WS-2000.
