The Ambient Weather WS-5050 Ultrasonic Smart Weather Station is the most sophisticated home and light industrial weather station we have ever created. Our smart wind meter has no moving parts to wear out, and includes a revolutionary ultrasonic anemometer that is more sensitive to changes in wind speed and direction and transmits faster than traditional wind cup designs. Ambient Weather Network Forge connections within the weather enthusiast community by seamlessly linking your Ambient Weather station to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN). Immerse yourself in an interactive weather community where your personalized online dashboard becomes a focal point for sharing your real-time weather data. This interactive platform empowers you to customize your dashboard according to your preferences and freely share your weather insights in the AWN community without additional cost. The Ambient Weather Network brings together like-minded individuals passionate about weather observation and analysis. Join the conversation, exchange valuable insights, and be a part of a community that shares your enthusiasm for understanding and appreciating the ever-changing weather patterns. Responsive Design Add your personal weather station to the map and create your own hyperlocal forecast for the community. Customize your personal weather dashboard, organize your tiles with the measurements you prioritize, and label your sensors. You can select the radar, wind, or temperature layers or drill down to view your neighborhood’s weather stations. Watch time-lapse videos of weather conditions from local weather cameras or add your own. Weather on the Go When you open the app, you will encounter an interactive map of weather stations, weather cameras, and map layers that provide an incredibly detailed and hyper-local view of current conditions. With this data, you can easily find information about localized temperature, "feels like" temperature, humidity, pressure, windspeed, and precipitation levels from actual points like the start line of a marathon or the north end of a beach. Extensive Data & Alerts Set up email or text alerts for high and low conditions for every parameter; send multiple alerts for the same parameter, and view all past alerts in a handy timeline. You can also visualize your data with daily, monthly and yearly graphs, or customize your graphing interval. The expandable tiles and handy charts and graphs allow you to analyze your data, or you can download csv files for a deeper dive. Connect to AWN Responsive Design Weather on the Go Extensive Data & Alerts Virtual Assistants The Ambient Weather skill for Alexa and Google Assistant provides Ambient Weather personal weather station owners with the ability to get real-time, and past weather information generated by the devices they have been linked to.

Weather Station Features & Specifications TFT Full Color LCD Display Our sleek desktop display is freestanding or can be mounted on a wall. This vibrant, dynamic LCD display is easy to read day or night, features a light or dark colored background, and automatically controlled brightness settings based on time of day. Connect additional displays (sold separately). Measured parameters combine with calculated data: 'Feels Like' Temperature (Wind Chill and Heat Index)Dew PointGust (the maximum wind speed sampled once per second in the 16 second update period)10 Minute Wind Speed and Direction AverageSunrise, Sunset, Moon PhaseForecast, And more! The WS-5050 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. Ultrasonic Sensor Array The wireless sensor array features a pagoda thermo-hygrometer radiation shield with passive aspiration for the upmost accuracy, a bubble level for plumb installation, and a solar panel. It connects to the console via RF (915 MHz) up to 1000 feet line of sight in open air (300 feet under most conditions). The wireless signal will not pass through solid metal, earth, or ground. 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). The Indoor Thermo-Hygrometer-Barometer The WH32B indoor sensor will monitor temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. One sensor is included with the WS-5050 weather station system. Optional Sensors (sold separately) The WS-5050 supports the following optional sensors: (8) WH31E, WH31P, WH31PF, or WH51RF(1) WH31L-AA(8) WH31SM(8) WH51LW(4) WH31LA(1) PM25(1) PM25IN or AQIN. The WH31E, WH31P, WH31PF, and WH51RF share the same 8 total channels and display on the console. The additional sensor models do not display on the console, but pass-through to the Ambient Weather Network and can be viewed there.

Initial set up is a bit tedious but much easier than my previous Davis Weather Station. The controller is well designed and easy to use. It has a number of add on accessories like soil temperature, lightning detection, air quality, water leak detectors (for wash room or utility room) etc. It has a good range for connections up to 1,000 feet. I have my station about 250 feet from the house and it works fine but your WIFi connection may be a factor for lower performance. You need to put your wind detector in an area free of obstructions to get accurate 360 degree detection of wind speeds and the higher location the better. eg chimney or above a roof line. The web software is easy to use and a good design. Very handy if you want to keep an eye on what's happening when you're away. It has a camera option as well although I don't have this as I have blink cameras. The bird spikes for the rain collector are not worth buying. They are very difficult to attache and you endue using something kludgy to glue it on. I had my son print one that simply attaches to the ridge of the collector which works perfectly. They could do the same thing or better yet incorporate it in the design to begin with. You do not have to mount the rain collector component on the same pole as the wind detector. Or if you prefer you can mount the rain collector lower on the pole to make it easy to clean out and reduce birds roosting on it. Birds do not want their nests too low for predators to get them so if you mound it about 5 feet off the ground they will probably not bother. I have had this for over two years in very severe weather right on the river edge and have had no problems with its performance. I clocked a 58 mph gust yesterday. I have not seen most of the problems that people have cited. I actually have two at our homes and both have performed perfectly.
