Wish display screen was larger, when your older harder to read unless your right on top of it. Out side temperature reading two to four deg lower then actual temp otherwise it is very accurate with wind and rain measurements.

Hubby loved it!

Easy set up and gives good accurate readings. With the app you can see neighbors and government readings to make sure your in the ballpark. I like that you can start with a smaller product and can add on easily from there.

Wonderful product, works great. Unfortunately, I cannot, nor can others link our station in to Wunderground Weather. Cannot input location (our ranch), tried repeatedly, emailed, zero response. This was my primary site to have my station and its data on the web. No phone contact number for Wunderground. A big disappointment... Ambient works great, zero issues on their site.

Wind vane was broken by a falling tree. This replacement came quickly and was the exact replacement. Good service from Ambient! Thanks.

I am enjoying viewing my monitor from where I sit most.

Great products far. Rain gauge seems to require a substantial amount of rain to read/indicate any amount of rain. We will see come winter when it rains a lot here.

I’m still evaluating this product as it has limited information on how it calculates wet, dry, very dry and moist. Also you can easily trick the readings. I’m currently testing ranges vs soil types. More information on this product would be nice.

Great addition to my home weather station.

Great fit for a special present for our parent’s large property!

Works perfectly and with Wunderground,it is excellent!!

I am enjoying the extent of the data that comes out already processed and the ease of downloading the data.
Getting the data stream started was a hitch because I assumed that the system would ship with a late enough software version to do what it said it would do. But, no, that didn't work until firmware and software were updated to the latest version. However, the product helpline was prompt and helpful with links to the necessary downloads.

Set up was simple

Here are some comments regarding my new WS-5000.

I was impressed with how well packaged the items were and the quality of the instruments. I also really appreciated the user manual rather than some link to an on-line PDF file. The user manual is very descriptive and well laid out. ( Since the unit is registered and on-line, I hope you will notify of product improvements and additions)

It tool several days to adjust temperature and humidity readings to a degree of accuracy. I compared the ambient instruments with three other weather stations. Temps varied as much as 4 degrees and the humidity up to 22%. I made my own psychrometer and purchased an alcohol thermometer to finalize. The rainfall and wind sensor works excellent. I am very impressed with how well the wind sensor records wind gusts and maintains a more steady wind direction.

The lightening detention appears to be working discovering strikes not appearing on national data.

The observations were easy to set up on ambient weather.net and weather underground. com.

I have not yet used the heating element for the wind sensors.

With that said, the WS-5000 fell short in a few areas.
1)The display screen is undersized, especially given the amount of data. I would make the display contents user-
definable and definitely enlarge the screen.
2)The observation frequency, 5 seconds, is too frequent. I would make this 60 seconds or user-definable.
3)i would like the ability to eliminate decimals on temperature and wind speed readings. The numbers are too busy looking.
4) the Solar output and UVI readings are useful but even better would be a formula to convert to "percent possible sunshine". This is possible to do knowing the date and latitude.
5) The rainfall data disappears off the main screen and is replaced with a forecast symbol after a period of dry weather. I would prefer to keep the rainfall data posted instead.
6) In the archive memory mode, I would like the ability to rearrange the columns of text data.

7) The "feels like" temperature is NOT accurate and a disappointment. I called technical support regarding the temp and feels like temp being the same. Mathew gave several instructions on how to reset but this did not work. Apparently, after rereading the user manual, the feels like temp is not calculated between 40 and 80 degs (page 55). Tech support was not aware of this? I do note that the online ambientweather.net does calculate the feels like temp between 50 and 70 degs but not at other ranges. Why the disparity?
I suspect the feels like temp is nothing more than the wind chill below 40 degs and heat index above 80 degs. This is disappointing as the WS-5000 has the potential to give the "effective temperature" . You could calculate this feature as the actual formula is based on temp, humidity, wind speed and solar output all of which are readily observed.

Overall, I am pleased with the WS-5000 and have given the unit 4 stars. I hope you take my suggestions to heart and make some future enhancements to improved this product.

What I needed.

Works like it should.

Display went out suddenly when original adapter finally died, This was shipped very quickly and back up and running.

Excellent product.

so far very happy. had trouble with set up due to using wrong app.

New to me so I am waiting to see if it reduces the amount of fir tree needles collecting inside the rain measurement device. Installation was a no brainer.
