Ambient Weather WS-2000 Smart Weather Station for Remote Monitoring and Alerts

Product Description

The Ambient Weather WS-2000 stands out as a comprehensive package for both local and remote weather monitoring. It features a high-definition, full-color TFT LCD display, designed for easy readability around the clock, equipped with light and dark backgrounds to accommodate varying light conditions.

This console wirelessly gathers essential weather parameters like wind speed, direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, UV index, and solar radiation from its outdoor sensor array. Additionally, it can collect barometric pressure, further temperature, and humidity data through an optional indoor sensor, which is sold separately. The vibrant, dynamic color display merges measured values with calculated data, including "Feels Like" temperature (which factors in wind chill and heat index), dew point, 10-minute wind speed and direction, sunrise/sunset times, moon phases, weather forecasts, and much more.

The multi-screen functionality offers NIST internet time synchronization, metric and imperial units, high and low alarm notifications with audible alerts, the ability to calibrate major parameters, and real-time internet weather publication.

Connecting to the Ambient Weather Network

Establish a connection within the weather enthusiast community by linking your Ambient Weather station to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN). This platform allows users to immerse themselves in an interactive environment, where your personalized dashboard serves as a hub for sharing real-time weather data. You can tailor your dashboard to meet your preferences and share your insights freely within the AWN community at no additional cost. By engaging with the AWN, you join a network of individuals who share your passion for weather observation and analysis, fostering discussions, sharing valuable insights, and embracing the intricacies of changing weather patterns.

Responsive Design

Enhance your personal weather experience by adding your station to the community map. Create hyper-local forecasts for your surroundings by organizing your dashboard tiles based on the measurements that matter most to you. You can customize layouts to your liking, select layers for radar, wind, or temperature, and explore data from nearby weather stations. Utilize time-lapse videos from local weather cameras, or contribute your own footage.

Weather on the Go

Upon opening the app, you’ll find an interactive map showcasing weather stations, cameras, and various layers that collectively offer a hyper-local perspective on current weather. This data allows you to easily access localized information such as temperature, "feels like" readings, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and precipitation—crucial for specific locations like a marathon start line or a beachfront area.

Extensive Data & Alerts

The system lets users set email or text alerts for high and low values across all parameters, allowing multiple notifications for similar events and enabling a detailed timeline of past alerts. Users can visualize their data through daily, monthly, and yearly graphs, or customize their intervals for deeper analysis. Customizable expandable tiles and charts facilitate an in-depth review of data, with an option to download CSV files for further exploration.

Integration with Virtual Assistants and IFTTT

The Ambient Weather skill for both Alexa and Google Assistant allows station owners to access real-time and historical weather data generated by linked devices. The AmbientWeather server additionally supports a timeline for tracking IFTTT-triggered services and devices such as blinds, rain gauges, and lights.

Connecting to Major Weather Networks

The WS-2000 connects to extensive personal weather station networks, including Weather Underground, WeatherCloud, and WeatherBug.

Hardware Specifications

The wireless sensor array employs RF (915 MHz) transmission, covering distances up to 330 feet in unobstructed settings (100 feet under typical conditions). With solar panel power and optional battery backup, it features mounting capabilities for poles with diameters from 1.25 to 2 inches. The tablet's Wi-Fi settings can be set directly via its interactive display, offering secure data transmission. Users can also track maximum and minimum conditions with timestamps and export historical data for advanced analysis.

Overall, the Ambient Weather WS-2000 is designed for weather enthusiasts who desire comprehensive monitoring and community interaction, making it an invaluable tool for understanding and enjoying meteorological nuances.
