You Can Create a Connected Smart Home with IFTTT

We provide customers with a way to utilize weather instruments and data beyond viewing basic weather measurements. Our products integrate into your existing smart home products and allow you to create a more connected home. You can connect any of our IFTTT- enabled stations and sensors to your favorite products already in your household, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, NEST, Rachio Sprinklers, Hunter Douglas Blinds, and more!

If you're not familiar with IFFTT, it stands for "If This Then That." It's a communication protocol that allows two devices connected to the internet to communicate with each other. Each Applet works by combining a trigger (if this) and action (then that). By mixing and matching a specific trigger with an action, you create the automation you want your home to execute on your behalf.

Here are some examples of Ambient applets people have created on IFTTT:

Change the Hue Lights color when the temperature rises above a value
Do not turn on my sprinklers if Ambient detects rain
Close your Hunter Douglas blinds when it is too hot

We Make Weather Social

We are taking weather where it hasn't gone before- social. The Ambient Weather Network enables users to view, share or follow local stations and live weather condition updates.

Create a login on Ambientweather.net to open the social feed, follow your favorite stations, and view the latest posts, forecasts, images, and videos from our extensive network of personal weather stations. If you own a weather station, you can connect your station to your account and join the conversation by creating your own forecast, posting an update about conditions, or sharing a photo or timelapse video from your weather camera.

You can visit the Ambient Weather Network via desktop at Ambientweather.net or download the Ambient Weather app for free in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Interactive Map Layers

Ambientweather.net interactive map features allow users to explore conditions across their communities or see how the weather may impact an upcoming trip. Select the dots to view local weather station readings or the camera icons to see shared imagery and timelapse videos. Your weather can't get any more accurate than live conditions from over 170,000+ personal weather stations.

You can even add layers to the map by choosing the radar , temperature , or wind icons .

Check your conditions now on Ambientweather.net or download the app for on-the-go real-time hyperlocal conditions and forecasts.

What's next for the Ambient Weather Network?

The future of weather is social, connected, and engaging. We will continue to provide the most comprehensive view of live weather conditions worldwide and empower our users to take control of their lives with the most accurate, hyperlocal data. We are constantly adding new stations, sensors, and accessories so our customers can continue to create a personal weather experience. Stay tuned for more!
