Review: A great weather station for beginners and professionals alike!! - This weather station is a very good station for those just starting, or those who have been monitoring the weather for years. It's value comes from the number of sensors, quality build, and accuracy that has thus far, been on par with my more expensive Davis Vantage Pro 2 Wireless Station. We got this station for my sister, who lives about 2 miles from where my Davis station is located. Other than manually having to adjust the barometric pressure, as we live at an altitude of over 6,500 feet, and this can sometimes cause a false reading on a lot of different weather stations, everything else was spot on out of the box. Setup was 1,000 times easier than setting up my Davis station, and everything just worked like it should from unboxing, to installation, to firing up the station and getting it online to report to weather underground. The trick though is an application that you download on your PC called Easy Weather. If you do this, you can pass up the tedious task of having to setup your station through the small monitor that shows you what your station is doing, the LED part of the station that you put up on your wall or set on your desk. If you setup this station through that small monitor, you'll be clicking the little buttons on it for hours, inputting everything from coordinates, to time, to elevation, ect... Using the PC application instead, you can do the same thing through your computer, and believe me, it's much easier to input numbers and letters with a keyboard than with those little buttons on the monitor! It wirelessly programs that monitor through your computer and setup only takes 5-10 minutes. Once that's done, it's ready to go! We got my sisters station up in about an hour, from installing it to programming it and having it report to weather underground. The other really big tip for those who live in areas that get cold, use lithium AA batteries in the outdoor sensor array. Alkaline batteries don't like really cold temperatures, and will go dead within a year from the cold itself. Lithium batteries are not affected in this way, and will last for many years. This way, you won't be needing to go out there and replace the three AA batteries in the sensor arrays belly, and depending on where you mount your station, that can be a pain to do every year. All in all, we are very pleased with the performance and accuracy of this weather station and I would highly recommend it for someone who don't want to spend a lot of money on one, but still wants the accuracy and quality of a more expensive model with all of the sensors you need! Plus, watching your station on the internet is a lot of fun, and seeing how different weather variables fluctuates throughout the day/night is very interesting. Before you know it, you'll be investing in a weather camera to go with your weather station, as the little "Missing webcam" image on your personal weather page on weather underground, is annoying as hell!! lol Have fun and enjoy sharing your weather with all of your family and friends!! Review: Excellent PWS, easy to install, and pretty dang fun! - After combing through a myriad of reviews on personal weather stations (PWS), I finally settled on the WS-1001-WiFi. Its features and configuration seemed to work best for my setup here at the farm, and I have found it to be an excellent product thus far. That is not to say other products are inferior in any way. I am pretty new to the PWS world, so I cannot begin to speak to other products out there, however I can speak to how well this has worked for me. Setup took a little thought and planning, with a bit of research. The truth is that everyone's property and needed configuration can vary greatly, so outside of the basic hardware included to mount the station itself, determining what will be used to mount the system to your house will likely be unique. I elected to mount my WS-1001-WiFi to a heavy piece of 1" x 48" galvanized plumber's pipe, just under $18. It does have threads on it (which I did not use in any fashion), however I selected it because it was pre-cut at the big box store. The U-bolts included with the WS-1001 worked well with the 1" pipe. I also picked up a package of galvanized 1" two-hole "pipe straps", basically clamps, to attach the pole to a redwood 4x4. As overkill (and being a type-A personality) I added a 90 degree, corner bracket, used as a seat for the pipe to reduce any downward pressure by the setup. In one of the pics you can see it at the base of the pipe, directly under the orange plastic cape the pipe comes with to protect the pipe threads. For the redwood 4x4 I realized that leaving the square top open to the elements may cause the entire thing to bow over time, I learned this the hard way from another project using the same material in much the same way. So I decided to make a beveled cut at the top to encourage rain shedding and I coated it as well with rubber spray Rust-Oleum 265494 12-Ounce Leak Seal Flexible Rubber Sealant, Black . I also coated the remainder of the 4x4 with Thompson's (again, likely overkill) Thompsons 10100 Aerosol Water Seal Multi-Surface Waterproofer . Once complete, I mounted the WS-1001 to the Pipe, then the Pipe to the 4x4, and then the 4x4 to an existing fence post. My only gripe, and it is a minor one, is that on the top of the WS-1001 there is a level bubble, which should be used to ensure the unit is level for rain gauge accuracy. And while this is great for say a roof top install, it isn't so great for a pole type installation look from the group up. Yes, I can get a ladder out, etc. but a bubble facing down as well would not have hurt my feelings. :-) Once everything was mounted, turning on the display and getting data was a snap! Joining it to my WiFi network worked well. Keyboard navigation was a tad tedious, but nothing a little patience couldn't solve. Once joined to my network, time synced right up. It is important not to try to skip some of the steps in the manual. I learned the hard way that Lat and Long are used for properly determining sunrise and sunset. And the indoor sensor must be installed to get the barometric pressure. Lastly, joining Weather Underground, getting my station ID ( KCOFORTL13 ) and logging in was super easy. Outside of that I am still learning about all the settings, etc. The feeling I get is that if you just want to dabble and have a nice weather station of your own, this will work quite well. If you want tons of data to sort through, etc. ... this will also work for you. I am incredibly happy with this purchase! If you are considering this as a present for a loved one, then definitely consider this unit. One does NOT need to be a technical genius to setup and run this station. ## Features - Includes Observer display module, (1) indoor temperature/humidity/baramoeter sensor, and (1) sensor array - Share live local weather data on the Weather Underground network - Multiple website and application integrations - Wireless sensors and WiFi connectivity - Indoor sensor require 2 x AAA batteries & outdoor sensor requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00PSV10UK | | Additional Features | Uv | | Are batteries included? | No | | Battery Life | 2 Hours | | Brand | Ambient Weather | | Brand Name | Ambient Weather | | Color | white | | Connectivity Technology | Wifi | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 459 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00816982014573 | | Included Components | {'Stand': 1, 'Cable': 1, 'Mounting Hardware': 1, 'Battery': 2} | | Manufacturer | Ambient Weather | | Model | WS-1001-WiFi | | Number of Batteries | 3 AA batteries required. | | Part Number | WS-1001-WiFi | | Power Source | Solar,battery Powered | | Sensor Technology | UV | | Shape | Rectangular | | Special Feature | Uv | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | Temperature Accuracy | 1 degree Celsius | | Temperature Reading Accuracy | plus_minus_1_degree_celsius | | UPC | 816982014573 | | Upper Temperature Range | 60 Degrees Celsius | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Are Batteries Included:** No - **Brand:** Ambient Weather - **Color:** white - **Connectivity Technology:** Wifi - **Included Components:** {'Stand': 1, 'Cable': 1, 'Mounting Hardware': 1, 'Battery': 2} - **Number of Batteries:** 3 AA batteries required. - **Power Source:** Solar,battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Uv - **Style:** Modern - **Temperature Accuracy:** 1 degree Celsius ## Images ![WS-1001-WiFI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hKe4UYVcL.jpg) ![WS-1001-WiFI - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xNNEXAvaL.jpg) ![WS-1001-WiFI - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SKS4clumL.jpg) ![WS-1001-WiFI - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kSsyxQ3BL.jpg) ![WS-1001-WiFI - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BAFhEC4nL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a vacation house 250 miles away. I have fair to good internet. Would anyone recommend this for remote monitoring?** A: It should work fine. I live in Portugal on a remote farm using a 3G mobil phone connect to the internet (~5Mbps/.3Mbps service, 1.7 miles to the tower), ISANTARM9 on http://www.wunderground.com . So far everything has been working just fine and I am very happy with the unit, especialy the setup, basically just plug in the display unit. The outside unit and the inside unit communicate with the display panel, and the display panel commuicates (WiFi) with the router. You may like reading the 49 page manual that comes with the unit or read the PDF on the web at http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/Manuals/ws1000wifi.pdf Paul **Q: What is the difference between this and the WS-1200-IP? Does this have a forecast mode?** A: There is not a big difference. The 1200-IP uses a special transmitter to get data to the internet. The 1001 uses the console. Neither have a forecast mode that I know of. **Q: Does this come with any kind of mounting hardware? From the images it appears to be on pole but i can't seem find a pic that shows the bottom.** A: There's about ~4" stub out of the bottom (~1" diam.). Two u-bolt clamps are supplied for attaching that stub to a mast up to 1-3/8" O.D.. Mine is attached to a 10' pole (~1-1/4" O.D.) that's in turn strapped to a fence post on a hillside. They sell a bunch of mounting solutions, and you can either buy those or simply get creative with whatever you've got on hand for getting this thing in the air. **Q: Does the Ws-1001 have a way of storing and graphing historical data and present conditions on my windows PC?** A: You can download much historical data into a program such as Excel and work with it there, but otherwise you would use the Weather Underground site to display the data on your desktop or other device. That works out quite well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great weather station for beginners and professionals alike!! *by S***I on January 2, 2018* This weather station is a very good station for those just starting, or those who have been monitoring the weather for years.

Setup was very easy, no problems at all connecting to wifi and linking to a WU account. The display unit is full-featured and presents an amazing amount of data. The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 stars is that it seems to have some trouble with cold weather. On a recent night the temperature got down to -23F. The unit stopped transmitting prior to that, at -17F. I assume that the extreme cold was too much for the solar powered rechargeable battery to generate a strong enough signal back to the base station. The outdoor unit is only about 30 feet from the base station, and direct line of sight, so I was a bit surprised. Obviously this will be a rare occurrence, but the lesson would be that if you are planning to use your weather station in an area that sees extreme cold weather on a regular basis, this might not be the best choice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12741190-ws-1001-wifi](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/12741190-ws-1001-wifi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
