Being surprised by it can cost you your life.Īmbient Weather WS-1001-WIFI Observer – available on Amazon While that experience deserves its own write-up, I bring it up because anyone who has spent time on the water knows the weather is to be respected. I was bitten by the weather bug while attending boarding school on Cape Cod, where I served as a deckhand on a 92′ 100-year-old schooner. That's right, when I'm not playing video games or ‘optimizing' my home network, I'm observing and studying the weather. It’s a pretty cool feature that other stations don’t necessarily have.I'm a secret weather nerd and the current heatwaves across the country has us hiding indoors with the AC cranked, so I figured now would be a good time to write an article about the best weather station to buy. An example might be something like, if the temperature is over 80 degrees, turn on the A/C. IFTTT means “if this, then that” and sets up conditional functions. With this, you can connect the weather station to the network, then make a request for a weather report using your own hyper-local weather data.īesides the pre-configured devices, it can also use IFTTT to connect and control other devices based on some event. These include those using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It’s not something I’ve tried to date, but the WS-2000 is capable of connecting to smart home devices. I’m not sure how many folks are using this feature. You never know when you might want to join in the future. This has become a must-have feature and is something to keep an eye out for, even if you don’t plan on connecting right away. It is possible to connect to both and Weather Underground at the same time. Like many other Ambient weather stations, you can upload your weather data and share and compare it with friends, family, and neighbors. Until now, I have not mentioned Weather Underground, but yes, the Ambient WS-2000 weather station does connect to it as well. Information like temperature, humidity, rainfall, and more is then available directly from your mobile device. It allows for streaming live data to the internet, along with charts & graphs of historical data. To use it, you must own a weather station that reports data to. Ambient has released a smartphone application for both IOS and Andorid, called the Ambient Weather Dashboard.
