I have an Ambient WS-2000 and it has been working fine for over four years. I have owned two Davis units and both failed after three years. Also own a Tempest One. The Ambients seems to be the most reasonably priced and integrateable through their AWN system, but both Tempest and Ambient work well with WU and PWS. Christopher Martin KJ5NOG

The unit I purchased is the Ambient Weather WS-2000 Smart Weather Station with WiFi Remote Monitoring and Alerts on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRBY9NP I paid $250, but as of today it appears to be listed at$300 (about a $50 increase). That same Amazon listing also shows a less expensive option—if you’re considering it, I’d recommend comparing the models carefully before buying. For reference, here’s my station on Weather Underground:https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/tx/eagle-lake/KTXEAGLE53 Good luck, and 73, Mike KG4NDS From: BVARC <[email protected]>On Behalf Of Larry Brand via BVARC Sent: Friday, January 9, 2026 8:34 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <[email protected]> Cc: Larry Brand <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Help needed -- weather station -- ham station addition.

I would like it to have a wireless display for inside the house, but I also would like to be able to see it remotely. Temp, humidity, wind speed, rain and snow precipitation. Maybe historical data storage, etc. Outside unit solar charged too. Anyone have such a recommendation? It is going in a cold, mountainous environment in Colorado. Respond directly so as not to flood the reflector. Thanks...
