Frequently Asked Questions

The peak of the luminosity function is at 555 nm (green); the eye’s visual system is more sensitive to light of this wavelength than any other. For monochromatic light of this wavelength, the irradiance needed to make one lux is minimum, at 1.464 mW/m².

That is, one obtains 683.002 lux per W/m² (or lumens per watt) at this wavelength.  Other wavelengths of visible light produce fewer lumens per watt.

Solar Radiation is a shorter wave length and different color spectrum, so it has a different factor of Lux to W/m²:

Bright sunlight is approximately 136000 lux = 1075 W/m² = 126.7

The factor changes slightly depending on time of day, conditions such as cloud cover, moisture in the air etc. and most sources  agree on the 126.7 as a reasonable factor to use.

The conversion in the green visible light spectrum spectrum at 555nm is  1W/m² = 683 lux, and is used of human eyes.

Some of our weather stations allow to calibrate the gain to whatever light spectrum you wish to base solar radiation on.

If you receive the message:

There’s no real-time data yet. Give us a sec…

Waiting for data to load…

and the AmbientWeather.net never updates, it usually means you incorrectly entered the MAC address on AmbientWeather.net.

You can locate the MAC address on your device using this guide:  How Do I Find My MAC Address?

Check the MAC address on your device vs. the MAC address you entered on AmbientWeather.net to make sure there is not a typo.

Also, you must own an Ambient Weather weather station or appliance to work with AmbientWeather.net.

Most weather stations use self-emptying rain gauges, which do not count snow and will not operate when frozen.

It requires the snow melt before the precipitation is “counted”.

The WH31, WH31B and WH31E are 8-channel thermo-hygrometers that support a variety of Ambient Weather Stations

The WH31 and WH31E include a radio controlled clock (RCC). The WH31B does not.

The WH31 and WH31E are only required for the WS-3000 Series, which includes a Radio Controlled Clock.

Our Internet Connected weather stations receive the time from the Internet Time Server (NIST.gov).

To align the sensor array to true north, use a GPS (a compass measures magnetic north).

The rain gauge points to the north as shown in the diagram below.

A solar radiation sensor measures solar energy from the sun.

Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction that creates electromagnetic energy. The spectrum of solar radiation is close to that of a black body with a temperature of about 5800 K. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.

The units of measure are Watts per square meter.

The device is typically used in agricultural applications, and is used in the calculation of Evapotransportation.

Evapotransportation is the potential for evaporation of moisture from the soil (or the reverse of rainfall) and is a function solar energy, wind and temperature.

An ultraviolet sensor (UV sensor) is a device that measures UV light from the Sun.

The UV index is an international standard measurement of how strong the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is at a particular place on a particular day. It is a scale primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public.

Its purpose is to help people to effectively protect themselves from UV light, of which excessive exposure causes sunburns, eye damage such as cataracts, skin aging, and skin cancer (see the section health effects of ultraviolet light).

• Wear sunglasses on bright days.
• If you burn easily, cover up and use broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.

• Stay in shade near midday when the sun is strongest.
• If outdoors, wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 means high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Protection against skin and eye damage is needed.

• Reduce time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 means very high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Take extra precautions because unprotected skin and eyes will be damaged and can burn quickly.

• Minimize sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

A UV Index reading of 11 or more means extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Take all precautions because unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes.

• Try to avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• If outdoors, seek shade and wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
• Watch out for bright surfaces, like sand, water and snow, which reflect UV and increase exposure.

The Osprey series has a super capacitor that holds a lot of energy when there is no solar energy or low batteries. Even if you remove the batteries, the transmitter may still be transmitting.

1. Bring your old sensor array inside the house or facility. The wind speed, UV and solar radiation will read 0.0.
2. Press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the sensor array for about a minute while covering the solar collector with your hand.
3. Next, power cycle the display console by removing AC power and batteries (WS-1900, WS-2902 series) or just AC power (WS-2000 series).
4. If it still appears to pick up the old sensor array (UV, solar radiation and wind speed read zero), physically move the old weather station to a different location away from the house.

The solar panel charges a super capacitor. This is a much more efficient design.

If the super capacitor voltage drops too low due to night or extended cloud cover, the non-rechargeable batteries take over for the solar collector.

The WS-1600-IP is a combination of the ObserverIP Module, indoor thermo-hygrometer barometer WS-1000-BTH, and the Osprey sensor array (WS-2902).

It has never been offered for sale but users with the WS-2902 can convert to the WS-1600-IP by purchasing an ObserverIP Module and WS-1000-BTH.

No, it does not.  Virtual Weather Station (VWS) has been discontinued. Most of our weather stations are direct to Internet and communicate with our hosting service at AmbientWeather.net.

• The released version was pulled. There was a Wunderground.com reporting bug in the new release.

Version 4.4.0:

• Fixes time stamp issue introduced in Version 4.3.8.

Version 4.3.8:

• Some users have reported conditions where their ObserverIP has become totally, or partially unresponsive (or very slow) to requests for web pages by either a browser, or secondary device (such as WeatherBridge or MeteoBridge, or computer running software that “interrogates” the ObserverIP web pages). In all cases the problem would occur somewhat unpredictably, and was seen as frequent as once a week, but most often less frequently. The problem manifests as web page timeouts, seen by a browser user or by a secondary device or software. Sometimes the problem is transient, sometimes it is (semi) permanent. To recover, the only solution is a “cold restart” which can be affected by removing power from the ObserverIP for 5 seconds, or by pressing the reset button located on the rear of the ObserverIP.
  
  The latest ObserverIP firmware, version 4.3.8, has resolved several issues that related to this problem. In the process of these fixes, we have determined, however that due to fundamental limitations in hardware and firmware, the ObserverIP is not capable of handling more than 4 simultaneous, or overlapping, web page requests without there being a possibility of the stated problem occurring.
  
  This is not a limitation when the ObserverIP is used as advertised, either used stand alone and occasionally observed through a browser (never more than 1 overlapping request), or even if also connected to a single secondary device, provided that such a device is properly programmed to not make more than one simultaneous request. WeatherBridge and MeteoBridge, in recent firmware versions, are known to not do this and are supported secondary devices. When such secondary devices are in use, combined with a browser making requests (automatically or manually) in rapid succession, there is a small possibility of temporarily reaching over the safe limit and slow responses may occur. In such cases a cold restart may be needed.
  
  Users that use the ObserverIP, in particular those that use secondary devices, are encouraged to upgrade to the latest firmware (version 4.3.8 or later), available on the Ambient Weather web site and to not use more than one secondary device.

Version 3.1.4:

• On March 1, 2017, Amazon Web Services’ servers slowed down to requiring up to 30 seconds to open, read, write and close TCPIP sessions. This causes other tasks to slow down, and manifests itself in the indoor temperature-humidity-barometer to act sporadically, or updates to slow or completely stop. This version changes how the connection is established.

Version 3.1.3:

• On March 1, 2017, Amazon Web Services’ servers slowed down to requiring 5 seconds to open an http session. This causes other tasks to slow down, and manifests itself in the indoor temperature-humidity-barometer to act sporadically. This version did not completely resolve this issue. See Version 3.1.4.

Version 3.1.2:

• On January 31, 2017, Weather Underground.com migrated their data center from their offices in San Francisco to Amazon Web Services in Seattle. The firmware did not work properly if you selected a static IP address for the ObserverIP. We will need to fix this by installing Firmware Version 3.1.2.

• Fixes issue with Port 80 being left open after an http write command. This slows down the ObserverIP connection.

Version 3.0.3:

• Allows you to re-enter the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly rain totals, which is useful if you clean the rain gauge or replace the batteries and record false rain in the process.

Version 3.0.2:

• Allows multiple browsers open communicating to the same IP Module (in the event you are reviewing from two different computers).

Version 3.0.0:

• Improved update rates due to efficiency changes.

Version 2.1.0:

• If IP connection lost for 20 minutes, resets ObserverIP.

Version 2.0.0:

• Fixed issue with stopped Wunderground.com updates.
• Fixed issue with not accepting “&” character is password.

Version 1.0.9:

• Increased password length from 15 characters to 50 characters.

No, it does not.  Virtual Weather Station (VWS) has been discontinued. Most of our weather stations are direct to Internet and communicate with our hosting service at AmbientWeather.net.

Please visit or Community Page to find a list of applications that work with AmbientWeather.net:

Community

If you have not done so already, download IPTools to your PC or Mac:

Ambient Weather ObserverIP Download Center

Launch IPTools, go the IP address of your module:

Select Search and Open.

1. Power down and up the ObserverIP Module and wait a few minutes. If the problem persists:
2. Reference the Weather Network panel on the ObserverIP module:
   
3. Make certain you entered the correct MAC on the AmbientWeather.net Devices panel:https://ambientweather.net/devices
4. You must be running Firmware Version 4.0 or greater. To upgrade the firmware, please reference:How Do I Update The Firmware For The ObserverIP Module?

If the problem persists, email a snapshot of the above panel to support@ambientweather.com

If the time is incorrect on the ObserverIP Live Data panel, the Time Zone is set incorrecty.

To change the Time Zone, from your OberverIP Module User Interface, change the Time Zone on the Station Settings page.

The following table provides times zones throughout the world. Locations in the eastern hemisphere are positive, and locations in the western hemisphere are negative.

If the ObserverIP Module web interface slows down, power down and up the device by removing the AC power, wait about 5 seconds, and connect AC power.

If you also own a WeatherBridge, or scrape the live data panel for another application, please read:

ObserverIP Module slows down or stops working when connected to a WeatherBridge (MeteoBridge).

To view or change the weather station model or type, Select Station Settings from the ObserverIP interface (launch IP Tools to find the IP address).

o find the IP address).

No, it is not possible to access the ObserverIP module outside of your local network.

It reads and writes (https://) Port 80, and does not use Telnet (Port 23) for example.

It is not possible to access the rest of your network(s) from the ObserverIP module.

If both AmbientWeather.net and WeatherUnderground.com stopped updating:

1. Power down and up the router.
2. Power down and up the ObserverIP Module.
3. If the problem persists, make sure the ObserverIP module is plugged directly into your router, and not through a switch.

Observer IP Module : Input 5V DC; 6.5′ 110-240V 50-60 Hz wall charger included.

DC barrel connector dimensions:  7.5mm ( L )  x 4.2mm ( OUT D) x 1.3mm ( Inner D)

If the ObserverIP module MAC address reads 00:00:00:00:00:00, the ObserverIP module is defective and requires replacing.

We have a one year warranty here: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

If out of warranty, the console is available here for purchase:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amobserverip.html

You must own a PC or Mac to update the firmware. Sorry, Linux products are currently not supported. Ambient Weather will update your ObserverIP at no cost (appropriate shipping charges will apply). Please fill out our Warranty Return form and mention you need the Observerip Firmware updated: https://ambientweather.com/reandex.html

Yes, for ObserverIP models:

WS-0800-IP, WS-0900-IP, WS-1200-IP, WS-1201-IP, WS-1400-IP, WS-1401-IP, WS-1600-IP

you can add up to 8 additional thermo-hygrometer sensors (WH31E,WH31P,WH31PF,PM25,PM25IN):

WH31E- https://ambientweather.com/amwh31.html

WH31P- https://ambientweather.com/amwh31p.html

PM25- https://ambientweather.com/ampm25.html

PM25IN- https://ambientweather.com/amwepmpmwiin.html

You must make sure you are running Firmware Version 4.4.5 or greater:

How Do I Update The Firmware For The ObserverIP Module?

Yes, the WeatherBridge will communicate with an ObserverIP Module.

The ObserverIP module also communicates with your sensor array.

Visit the following product page for more information: https://www.ambientweather.com/amobserverip.html

1. If you own an Observer Series, you need only add an ObserverIP module.
   Choose WS-1400-IP under Station Settings when setting up the module.
2. If you own an Osprey Series, you also need the indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws1000bth.html
   Choose WS-1600-IP under Station Settings when setting up the module.

To calibrate the relative pressure, select the Calibration panel from your IP Module:

The following is an example of calibrating the relative pressure. Your results will vary.

1. The local relative pressure from TV, the newspaper or the internet for the official station in your area is 30.12 inHg.
2. From the Live Data panel, your absolute pressure (measured, and not corrected to sea-level) reads 28.90 inHg.
3. Reference Figure 35.  Enter the following offset in the Calibration panel for Relative Pressure Offset:

Relative Pressure Offset = 30.12 – 28.90 = 1.22

Yes, you can pull real time data from the ObserverIP over a local area network.

This is done from the LiveData panel on your IP Module:

If you are a programmer, the html can also be “scraped” and parsed. Here is an example of the html code:

If your ObserverIP module slows down or stops working and you also connect it to the WeatherBridge:

1. Make sure you are running the latest firmware. For details, please visit:

   https://www.ambientweather.com/observerip.html

2.  If you are reporting to Wunderground.com and AmbientWeather.net, turn off this feature on the ObserverIP and use the WeatherBridge to send the data.

To calibrate the temperature, select the Calibration panel from your IP Module:

The following is an example of calibrating the temperature. Your results will vary.

1. The actual temperature as measured by a red spirit thermometer is 70.0 degF.
2. From the Live Data panel, your temperature reads 69.0  degF.

   

3. Enter the following offset in the Calibration panel for Temperature:

Temperature Offset = 70.0 – 60.0 = 1.0

Select the Calibration tab to view your calibration data from the weather station.

The following is an example of calibrating the relative pressure. Your results will vary.

1. The local relative pressure from TV, the newspaper or the internet for the official station in your area is 30.12 inHg.
2. From the Live Data panel, your absolute pressure (measured, and not corrected to sea-level) reads 28.90 inHg.
3. Reference the above below.  Enter the following offset in the Calibration panel for Relative Pressure Offset:

Relative Pressure Offset = 30.12 – 28.90 = 1.22

If only the power light comes on after the ObserverIP Module is reset or powered down and up again, the ObserverIP Module may be “bricked” and require reflashing of the firmware.

Here is a guide:

How Do I Update The Firmware For The ObserverIP Module?

If the UV sensor spikes to 15, the sensor array must be replaced.

If under one year warranty, visit:

www.ambientweather.com/rma.html

If out of warranty, replace the sensor array here:

The screw size for the Observer Weather Station is:

PM (machine type) 3.0 x 15 mm  stainless steel

The default weather station type is the WS-1400-IP. Select Station Settings from the ObserverIP interface (launch IP Tools to find the IP address), and change the weather station type to WS-1600-IP and select Apply.

This can occur after a firmware update, or the reset button is pressed on the back of the IP Module.
