I tried that too and couldn't get it to work. Forgot to mention that.
Trying it a couple of different ways again, I get the apiKey is missing:
with
SocketIO('https://api.ambientweather.net/v1/devices?applicationKey=YOUR_APP_KEY&apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY',
443, LoggingNamespace, verify=False ) as socketIO:
socketIO.on('connect', on_connect)
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:857:
InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding
certificate verification is strongly advised. See:

InsecureRequestWarning)
WARNING:socketIO-client:api.ambientweather.net:443/v1/devices/socket.io [
engine.io waiting for connection] unexpected status code (401 {"error":
"apiKey-missing"})
Or the 404 again
SocketIO(
'https://api.ambientweather.net/v1/devices/YOUR_MAC_ADDR', 443,
LoggingNamespace,
verify=False,
params={'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'applicationKey': 'YOUR_APP_KEY' })
