Don't have a backyard for a weather station? No problem. If you live in a high-rise or an apartment, you can still monitor your real-time weather with an Ambient Weather Network Weather Hub. Easily track your outdoor and indoor conditions by pairing this sleek little hub with Ambient Weather Environmental Sensors, all while sending your data to your dashboard on the Ambient Weather Network. Plus, you get to join a cool community sharing their real-time weather updates. Score!

What is a Weather Hub and How Does it Work?

The AWN Weather Hub is a device that receives the data from your environmental sensors and discreetly sends the data to the Ambient Weather Network over your Wi-Fi or ethernet/LAN connection. This small, sleek hub has LED status indicators, an integrated antenna, and a low-draw power supply. 

How Do I View My Data?

Access your data remotely using the Ambient Weather Network App or desktop version by visiting ambientweather.net. Alternatively, you can view your data locally on a display console. We recommend the Ambient Weather WS-2000 Console for anyone wanting to monitor the weather from a specific location in their home. This display console also offers built-in indoor temperature and humidity.
