My WS-2902 worked for about 5 years. I then bought a WS-1965 along with a lightning detector to replace it. The lightning detector did not work out of the box. It has been a nightmare to return it for a replacement. I would not recommend Ambient Weather products. They do not honor their warranty.

I had a Acurite for several years and since it was in need of a replacement. I chose the Ambient WS2902D as my number 2 son had a couple at the ranches and he said he was happy with them. Got it, set it up and got the first rain. Two inches in my old style glass tube. Only 1.2 inches in my 2902. Ouch that is not good. Only recording 60% of what fell. Well Ambient tech said I need to spray the funnel with silicone to let the rain slid down into the catch pan and record. Did that and another rain of 1″ and .59 recorded on the Ambient console. Then tech had me do a test the Ambient uses to validate measurements. That test failed just like the real world recording, only it was an improvement, console showed .28 and the correct should have been .39. Then Ambient went silent on me. Can’t get anyone on the phone as you wait and wait and then get a “leave your name and number” and never get a call back. Last I got from Ambient was a email that said if the test failed he would be working on getting me a new sensor. Never heard from them again. I had bought from Amazon and my 30 day return policy had expired. So here I was stuck with a weather station and wasn’t getting correct reading. My question to you Ed is did you do any testing on all these units to see if they were recording correct rainfall amounts. That is my main purpose for having the weather station, rainfall recording. All the other readings are good but for my benefit rainfall is the most desired. So I pleaded with Amazon and they gave my an exception to the 30 day rule and I returned the WS2902D. Now I am researching to see what weather station I should buy because I want one.

The wind speed multiplier formula for calibration is a little confusing. My weather station is on the side of my garage. The garage roof peak is 15′ and the pole is about 4′ higher than the garage, so, 19′ off of the ground. My garage is an attached garage, 20 feet wide, and the w-station is about 20′ from from my two story house. The house peak is approximately 26′ tall. How do you do the formula? 4 x (15 – 4) = 44? The value in the system doesn’t go that low.

Yes, you are correct on the parts. They come from Ecowitt in China. The assembly occurs here in Pennsylvania and I believe in Ambient Weather’s old manufacturing plant in Arizona too.

The software side is completely Ambient though.

Hi, I love your website and really appreciate the quality of your reviews. I do want to note that, according to Nielsen-Kellerman’s website, https://nkhome.com/nk-brands, Ambient Weather products are manufactured in China. This is not to criticize products made in China, but I thought I should bring it to your attention.

Will this unit interface with a Rachio irrigation controller?
