If the lightning sensor has a weak signal, please check the following:
- Make sure both the console firmware: How Do I Update The WiFi Firmware, WS-2000 And WS-5000? are up to date.
- Make sure all the dip switches in the Lightning sensor are in the down position. Power down and up the sensor after changing the dip switch positions for changes to take effect.
- Power down the WS-2000 console then power it back up.
- Re-register the Lightning sensor through the Sensor ID screen.
- Ensure that the sensor is within 300 ft line of sight with your indoor console.
- We recommend the WH31-SRS as an enclosure for the lightning detector. https://ambientweather.com/wh31-srs-solar-radiation-shield
Lightning sensors detect a specific radio frequency wave form generated by lightning strikes.
However, electronic devices like motors starting (HVAC units, lawn equipment), and fluorescent lighting can emit noisy electromagnetic field (EMF) signature that can generate a false positive lightning strike.
To avoid false lightning strikes, move the detector away from any electrical noise-generating devices.
Although electrical noise can be random in nature, another way to determine installation location is by using a portable AM radio set in between stations where you can hear white noise only, and hold the radio close to the installation location. Any crackling heard on the radio may be detected by the WH31L lightning detector.
If the display console only displays km, make sure your firmware is up to date. This issue was resolved in Version 1.6.3:

Q: Which sensors work with the WS-2902B console?
A: The WS-2902B will ONLY work with the WH31/WH31B/WH31E, WH31P (probed) and PM25/PM25IN sensors.
The sensors are “pass-through”, which means they will not appear on the local display console, but are displayed on AmbientWeather.net.
It will NOT work with WH31L (lightning), WH31LA (leak alert), WH31SM (soil moisture) .
The following image is an example of a channel 1 sensor. The title is customizable on the website:
The lightning sensor show low battery on Ambientweather.net even after replacing batteries.
- Ensure the console hardware firmware is update to date using this
Guide - Ensure the console WIFI firmware is update to using this Guide
- Ambient Weather suggests the use of fresh lithium batteries in the WH31L. Batteries available here
