HOW TO: Reset Your WS-2902C Array

If the weather station array is not communicating properly with the indoor console AFTER performing ALL of the steps above, then the outdoor sensor array OR individual sensor/sensors will need to be replaced.

Yes, the mounting location of the sensor array can affect the proper and accurate measuring and reporting of weather data as well as affect the longevity of it’s sensors.

One example would be mounting the device too close to a surface/structure. In the below image, the radiant heat that is emitted from the surface can cause inaccurate temperature and humidity readings as well as premature sensor failure. The obstruction caused by the structure may lead to inaccurate wind speed, wind direction and rainfall readings as well.

Because the station is mounted to closely to the roof this can lead to the temperature and humidity sensor to fail prematurely.

Q. What is this coil spring that came with my rain gauge?

It is a stainless steel filter which is included in the package. It’s aimed to stop leaves or bird droppings to avoid the obstruction of the cone hole.

The installation is simple: press the filter until the hook is inside the outlet hole and self -locked. The spring tension will keep the filter sit tight on the funnel.

Preventive Maintenance and Reset of the Outdoor Sensor Array. (Printed Part: WH65B)

To ensure that the outdoor weather station array stays in proper working condition please follow the steps below:

1.Replace the batteries. We recommend fresh Lithium Energizer and here is why:Why Are Lithium Ultimate Batteries Recommended And Not Alkaline Or Rechargeable Batteries?

2. Make certain the rain gauge is level. If not perfectly level, the tipping mechanism will not work properly and under report rain.

3. Visually inspect the rain funnel. Is the funnel missing? To replace the funnel, please visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902funnel.html

4. Check the funnel for any debris. Clean the funnel.

5. Remove the funnel and check for any debris that may be affecting the tipping mechanism. Tip the mechanism back and forth. Does the rain update on the console? Check for any bugs or dirt. Clean with a damp, soft cloth.

6. In heavy downpours or sideways wind, the rain droplets can “bounce” out of the rain gauge. Use Teflon spray: https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Silicone-Lubricant-Aerosol-14-Ounce/dp/B00D3ZKVAS to prevent accumulation of the droplets on the walls of the rain gauge.

How to Reset the Outdoor Sensor Array:

1. Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Let sit for up to 24 hours to drain the solar capacitor.
4. Reinsert fresh batteries.
5. Press the reset button (#10, below) for a full minute with a pointed object, such as a pen tip:

6. Uncover the solar collector.

7. LED(#11) should flash once per 16 seconds. If it is not flashing, the sensor array must be replaced.

8. Power down and up the console to resync(Remove batteries and AC Adapter then reinsert)

9. May take a few minutes for the outside array information to display on the console

*If the weather station array is not communicating properly with the indoor console AFTER performing ALL of the steps above then the outdoor sensor array OR individual sensor/sensors will need to be replaced.

**Why Preventive/Routine Maintenance needs to be done:

To report to AmbientWeather.net, you must:

1. own an Ambient Weather branded weather station that directly connects to the Internet (models listed below).

2. own a third party weather station that connects to the WeatherBridge:

1. The WS-2000 is a newer model but shares the same sensor array as the WS-2902A.
2. The WS-2000 supports up to 8 additional thermo-hygrometers:
   https://www.ambientweather.com/amwh32b.html
3. The WS-2000 has a separate indoor thermo-hygrometer-barometer. The WS-2902A contains these sensors inside the console.
4. The WS-2000 has a nicer display console (TFT) vs. the WS-2902 (Color Film LCD), which has a limited viewing angle.
5. The WS-2000 is easier to set up with WiFi and the Internet, because the settings are entered on the console and not from an app.
6. Both weather stations support WiFi and Internet cloud services, including AmbientWeather.net.

Your weather station may only display some of the following increments of rain. Please refer to your User Manual for details. Here are how increments of rain are defined:

• Rain Rate is defined as the rainfall in the last 10 minutes, multiplied by 6  (10 minutes x 6 = 1 hour). This is also referred to as instantaneous rain per hour.
• Hourly Rain is defined as the rainfall in the last hour.
• Rain event is defined as continuous rain, and resets to zero if accumulated rainfall is less than 1 mm (0.039 in) in a 24 hour period.  Some weather stations may calculate this slightly differently and the customer should reference the User Manual.
• Daily Rain is defined as the rainfall since midnight (00:00).
• 24 Hour Rain is defined as the rainfall in the last 24 hours. For example, if it is currently 5:00 pm, 24 hour rain would be the amount of rain that has fallen since 5:00 pm yesterday.
• Weekly Rain is defined as the calendar week total, and resets on Sunday morning at midnight (Sunday thru Saturday).
• Monthly Rain is defined as the calendar month total, and resets on the first day of the Month.
• Yearly Rain is defined as the calendar year total, and resets on the first day of the Year. The WS-1000 series weather stations allow you to change the month rain is reset to 0.00 (referred to as Rainfall Season).
• Total Rain is defined as the running total since station was powered up.

To Perform a Network Reset:

Please follow the steps below to perform a Network Reset:

1. Unplug power to modem, router and weather console (unplug AC adapter and/or remove batteries).
2. Plug power back into the cable Modem and let it sync back up with the network.

• The gust is the maximum wind speed in the 16 second update period (sampled once per second), whereas the wind speed is the 16 sample average. It is difficult to “perceive” an average wind speed.
• We recommend you switch the display console to gust. It will typically read 1.5 to 2.5 x higher, and agrees better with human perception and what you see outside. To switch the display to gust, press the WIND button.
• View the max gust of the day (or since the last reset, based on your reset settings). Press the MAX/MIN button once and the max values will be displayed. Next, press the WIND button to see the max gust of the day (or since the last reset):

• Does this value agree with your perception or other stations in the area?
• What is displayed on AmbientWeather.net is only sampled once every minute and saved to graphs and data once every 4-5 minutes. The gust will likely be missed at this sample rate.
• AmbientWeather.net does record the maximum gust of the day in the Wind Speed Tile. The example below shows a peak daily wind gust of 15.0 mph:
  
• Unless your cups stop abruptly and do not coast down, there is likely nothing wrong with your weather station.
• You can send us an email support@ambientweather.com with installation images, or post them on our Ambient Weather Network User Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ambientweathernetwork/ and get a second opinion from thousands of users.
• If it is extremely cold (below freezing), it is possible that the wind gauge has frozen up. This is common to all weather stations with moving parts.You can spray the top of the unit with teflon snow and ice repellent like this:https://www.amazon.com/DuPont-Teflon-Snow-Repellant-10-Ounce/dp/B0031T82NObut this is not 100% effective.
• We have a detailed discussion here:

**If you are using an ios device(ipad, iphone) and it just shows ‘wifi’ for your networks SSID then you may need to use an android device to get connected.

No, it does not. It comes with a bracket and two U-Bolts and to tighten around a 1 to 2″ diameter pole, which you supply.

Yes, you can add as many consoles as you like.

The WS-2000 array works with four different consoles:

1. WS-2000,
   which is the one that came with your weather station.
   
   
2. WS-2902D
   which is a lower quality but less expensive color film LCD
3. WS-1900A
   which is identical to the WS-2902D console, but does not have a WiFi chip:

You can add a second or additional console to your WS-2000 weather station:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2000c.html

It will read and display both your existing indoor and outdoor sensor.

There is also a lower cost alternative WS-2902D console:

Ambient Weather WS-2902D Wireless Console

If your second console does not require connection to the Internet, and is for display purposes only, you can save by ordering the WS-1900 console:

https://www.ambientweather.com/amws1900console.html

The WS-1900 does not support the PM2.5 sensor or the 8-channel WH31E sensor.

There have been significant reports of connection issues with Asus and Arris routers. Our Wi-Fi chip manufacturer resolved these issues with an updated SDK (many non-Ambient Weather devices share the same issue), which was implemented in WiFi Firmware Version 4.2.6.

If you are running Firmware Version 4.2.4 (or prior), there are two options:

Option 1 - Temporarily change the encryption on your router, until after you upgrade, and then set the encryption back to the nominal settings.

Open up a web browser (Internet Explorer, for example) and enter the IP address http://192.168.0.1 in your browser’s address bar and press Enter. The Login window will prompt for the router configuration username and password.

• Select only 802.11 b/g/n mode. The other two options do not work at all for most Wi-Fi modules. We believe these routers have a general problem with 802.11n and 802.11b/g.
• Make sure “AP isolation” is disabled.
• Make sure no security option is selected.

To update the WiFi firmware, you must first download the awnet app for mobile devices a guide here can assist. After the firmware update, you can return your router to it’s normal settings.

Option 2 - Send the weather station to us, and we can upgrade the firmware for you. To get started, please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

1. Visually inspect the rain funnel. Is the funnel missing? To replace the funnel, please visit:https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902funnel.html

Currently, at this time, no.

AQI is calculated individually for each pollutant. The overall pollutant with the highest AQI becomes the reported AQI. Since AmbientWeather.net only monitors (at this time) PM2.5, the only AQI value they could calculate would be the PM2.5 AQI. If, by chance, the PM10 AQI is higher than the PM2.5 AQI, then AmbientWeather.net would be reporting the wrong AQI value.

AQI, is a unitless index derived by the EPA.

Reference:

https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-05/documents/zell-aqi.pdf

The U.S. EPA PM2.5 AQI model is on Page 11.

Can the PM25/PM2.5 sensor measure pollen?

No. Pollen doesn’t have much effect on the AQI for particle pollution. Most pollen particles are much larger than the particles we measure for the AQI. The size of PM2.5 is 2.5 micrometers in diameter or smaller while pollen particles are usually well over 10 micrometers. Pollen particles can sometimes rupture and break into smaller airborne particles in the PM2.5 range, but their contribution is too small to make a difference in the AQI.

Place each curved foam insert in between the cutouts where the rain funnel locks into place.

To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to sea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure.

Thus, your absolute pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).

The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 inHg (1013 mb). This is the average sea-level pressure around the world.  Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low pressure.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you by accessing https://ambientweather.net/baro, and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

To enter the calibrated relative pressure into the console, you must enter the SET mode. To enter the SET mode, press and hold the SET button for two seconds, and press SET  eleven more times until the pressure flashes. This setting allows you to change the units of measure from inHg to mm to hPa.

Press SET one more time, and Relative Pressure will flash.

Press [WIND +] or [PRESSURE -] to adjust relative pressure up or down.

Reference Section 6.4.4 of the User Manual below for details on calibration of relative pressure:

https://p10.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.ambientweatherstore.com/ssl/Manuals/WS-2902A.pdf

The settings are summarized below.

1. If AmbientWeather.net stops reporting but WeatherUnderground.com continues to update, power down and up your console by removing batteries and AC power. There may have been a DNS server change that was not updated on the console.
2. If the problem persists, power down and up your wireless router.

1. Power down and up the console by removing batteries and AC power. If the problem persists,
2. Reboot your router. If the problem persists,
3. Perform a factory reset:
4. Remove the power from the console by removing the batteries and disconnecting the AC adapter.
5. Apply power by connecting the AC adapter.
6. Wait for all of the segments to appear on the screen:
   
7.  Press and hold the WIND/+ and PRESSURE/- buttons at the same time until the console power up sequence is complete (about 5 seconds).
8. Replace the batteries.

10. Connect directly to your wireless router and not a repeater or range extender.

How-to Video on connecting your WS-2902A, WS-2902B, WS-2902C display console to WiFi and the Internet using an Android device:

1. To connect your WS-2902A or WS-2902D to AmbientWeather.net, you must first connect your weather station console to your WiFi Router.

Look for the WiFi icon  in the time field of the weather station console. Make sure this WiFi icon is on. If it is on, you already connected to WiFi.

If it is off, please reference:

I Cannot Connect The WS-2902A Console To WiFi.

How Do I Connect My WS-2902, WS-2902A To AmbientWeather.Net?

2.  Launch the console configuraton app  awnet  on your mobile device or tablet, the weather station MAC address is displayed in the Device List.
The example below is for three devices connected to the same network:

Tap on the device directly to program it and make sure a schedule is set:

3. Visit AmbientWeather.net and select Create your Account. Use the MAC address shown above to register your account.

The WS-2902A console adds “MiFi” capability, where it broadcasts a signal where you can connect directly to the console. This makes it easier to set up if you have a dual band router, because you are not required to temporarily turn off the 5.0 GHz band. The WS-2902A still retains the set up method for the WS-2902.

We no longer recommend upgrading your console from a WS-2902 to WS-2902A. We have found that in many cases, it bricks the console.

The WS-2902A replaced the WS-2902 in 2018.

The WS-2902A adds direct console Internet connectivity to the WS-2902. This makes it easier to connect to a dual band router.

The WS-2902 uses the mobile app AmbientTool to connect to your router. This app communicates to your console through the router.

The WS-2902 uses the mobile app awnet to connect to your router. This app provides direct connection to the console.

1. If the display is on rain rate, and it has not updated in the last 10 minutes, the rain will read 0.00 in. Change the display to read daily, weekly, monthly or yearly rain by pressing the rain key. Does the rain stay at 0.00?
2. Visually inspect the rain funnel. Is the funnel missing? To replace the funnel, please visit:https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902funnel.html
3. Check the funnel for any debris. Clean the funnel.
4. Remove the funnel and check for any debris that may be affecting the tipping mechanism. Tip the mechanism back and forth. Does the rain update on the console? Check for any bugs or dirt. Clean with a damp, soft cloth.
   
5. If the problem persists, we have a one year warranty. Please visit www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html
6. If out of warranty, the sensor array can be replaced here:https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902rainassembly.html

If you changed your network configuration or your WiFi password:

1. Unplug power to modem, router and console (unplug AC adapter and/or remove batteries).
2. Plug power back into the cable Modem and let it sync back up with the network.
3. Plug power back into the Router and let it sync up.
4. Plug AC adapter back into the console.
5. Wait 5 minutes then click corresponding link below and follow the instructions.

If that did not get you connected the below guides for your weather station will help you get connected

The rubber strips or footing stick to the bottom of the console fold out legs, #2 in the image below. It makes the skid resistant.

If you loaded Merlin^[1]  third party firmware from your router, it may prevent the WS-2902A console from communicating to the app through your router.

We recommend loading the default Arris / Asus router firmware.

^[1] Asuswrt-Merlin is a third party firmware for select Asus wireless routers. Based on the Asuswrt firmware developed by Asus, it brings tweaks, new features and other improvements to the original firmware, while retaining its performance and ease of use.

Q: What is the WIFI component power consumption for the WS-2902 series consoles?

A: The instant peak current of the wifi module can be up to 500mA, and its average current is about 200mA.

So it is safer to have an adapter that is capable of supplying 1.0mA ( at least 500mA ) for stable operation.

1000 Milliampere (mA) = 1 Watt/Volt (W/V)

1. Confirm your station compatibility

First things first, let's confirm your compatibility. The following stations are IFTTT enabled and offer Amazon Alexa compatibility:

If the station you own is not on this list, it does NOT currently work with Amazon Alexa.

To learn more about IFTTT Devices, check out our blog post: IFTTT Basics.

2. Connect Your Station to AmbientWeather.Net.

If your station is already connected to AmbientWeather.net, go ahead and move to Step #3.

If you are not connected, follow the instructions below to get set up. The Amazon Alexa Skill is based on your Ambient Weather Network account data and is REQUIRED before adding the skill to your Alexa.

1. To connect your station to AmbientWeather.net, you must first link your weather station console to your WiFi Router. Look for the WiFi icon in the time field of the weather station console. If this icon is on, you are already connected to WiFi. If it is off, please reference these instructions HERE.
2. Next, launch the console configuration app AWNET on your mobile device or tablet. The app will pick up the nearby device and display the weather station MAC address in the Device List. Please note: The AWNET app is only a console configuration tool and is not used to view your live data.
   
   AWNET app Download for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dtston.ambienttoolplus
   
   AWNET app Download for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awnet/id1341994564
   
3. Visit AmbientWeather.net and select Create Your Account. Use the MAC address you acquired in the previous step to register your account!

Download the Ambient Weather Amazon Alexa Skill.

4. Ask Alexa

Once the Ambient Weather Skill has been enabled for Amazon Alexa, you can begin asking questions about your indoor and outdoor weather conditions.

Say: "Alexa, ask Ambient Weather… weather report."

This will provide you with your outdoor weather report. You can ask for your indoor weather report as well by saying, "indoor conditions."

Here are some sample commands:

• Weather Report
• Outdoor conditions
• Indoor conditions
• Yesterday's weather
• Conditions for October 15, 2020
• Conditions for September 2020
• Conditions for 2020
• Change default device to {the name of your device}

We hope you enjoy using this new skill from Ambient Weather. Have any questions? Contact us at support@AmbientWeather.com

To set alerts, login to your AmbientWeather.net account and select the Alerts page:

https://ambientweather.net/alerts

Text or Email alerts can be sent when a specific parameter is out of range.

If the value exceeds (greater than or less than) the alert amount, a text or email is sent.

Once the value falls within the normal range, the alert is reset, and an alarm can be sent again once outside the range again. This prevents repeated alerts for the same parameter.

The Notification Time Window is the minimum time after an alert can be repeated for the same condition. This is useful for parameters like wind speed, that change often and rapidly.

Here is an example scenario with the Notification Time Window set to 10 minutes.

If Wind Speed is greater than 20, send an alert.

• Time: 2:00 pm.  Wind Speed is 24. Alert is sent.
• Time: 2:03 pm. Wind Speed is 12. Alert is reset.
• Time: 2:05 pm. Wind Speed is 26. Alert is not set because 5 minutes ago, the alert was already sent.
• Time: 2:12 pm. Wind Speed is 24. Alert is sent.

More than one alert can be set for the same parameter. Here is an example:

Wind Speed > 20 mph

Wind Speed > 30 mph

Wind Speed > 40 mph

There is a bug with the Google Assistant App on both iOS and Android. However, the linking process does work using the Google home app on iOS.

The process should work like this:
1. You initiate the skill on your Google Assistant device (or in the Google Assistant app). It directs you to the google home app to link your account.
2. When you open the Google Home app you should see a link to connect your account on Ambient Weather. One thing we’ve noticed is that you may need to close the Google Home app (by double clicking the home button and swiping it up) and reopen it in order to see this connection link.
3. Clicking that link will bring you to ambientweather.net where you’ll need to login to your Ambient Weather account.
4. You will be presented with an authorize button that will link the devices together

That should be all it takes. Email support@ambientweather.com and let us know where the process breaks down for you.

Please include your MAC address and the email account you used to register at AmbientWeather.net.

Pressing WIND + and PRESSURE – at the same time for 5 seconds does not do anything. The buttons work when pressed individually.

1. Make sure the console is plugged into wall power. If it is not plugged in, the console will not connect to WiFi or the Internet.
2. Make sure you own a WS-2902A and not a WS-2902 or WS-1900. This command does not work on previous versions.
3. If you own a WS-2902A, turn the lights off in the room and turn the console around. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged in.
   If you do not see a blue light, the console WiFi chip is no longer working properly and the console needs replacing.
4. If the blue light is present, try performing a factory reset on the console:

How Do I Restore Console To Factory Default Or Factory Reset, Osprey Series?

If the problem persists. the issue is likely a problem with the AC adapter, and in some instances, the console itself.

To test the AC adapter, remove the batteries and plug the console in. If the console does not power up, the AC adapter is faulty. If it does power up, make sure you are not using a third party AC adapter (for example, a power adapter from outside the USA).

To replace the console and AC adapter under warranty, please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

The dew point is the temperature at which a given parcel of humid air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation temperature.

The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. Relative humidity of 100% indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and the air is maximally saturated with water. When the dew point remains constant and temperature increases, relative humidity will decrease.

WeatherSnoop does not communicate directly with your weather station. It communicates from AmbientWeather.net to your Mac using our API. All you need is an AmbientWeather.net User Key.

To generate a User Key on AmbientWeather.net, go to My Account by tapping on the avatar in the upper right hand corner, or click here:

https://ambientweather.net/account

and tap on Create API Key:

How much bandwidth does my Weather Station Require?

The amount of uploaded data is dependent on the number of services you upload to, and sensors you own, but here is a rough guide:

For AmbientWeather.net upload every 12 seconds

Data stream: 174 Bytes

Total data in 24 hours: 86400/12 * 174 = 1252800 Bytes = 1.2MBytes (i.e.  36MB per month)

For WeatherUnderground.com: upload every 12 seconds

Data stream: 196 Bytes

Total data in 24 hours: 86400/12 * 196 = 1411200 Bytes = 1.34MBytes (i.e.  40MB per month)

The total is approximately 76MB per month.

If the WS-2902A console will not connect to a Linksys WRT 3200ACM Router, try broadcasting the 2.4 GHz on a different channel.

For example, Channel 1 may be 2.412 MHz. Try switching to Channel 2, which is 2.417 MHz

California Prop 65:

WARNING: Use of the Ambient Weather Products can expose you to chemicals, including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and bisphenol A (BPA), andphthalates DINP and/or DEHP, which are known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Can I Trust that Ambient Weather Products are Safe Despite this Warning?

In 1986, California voters approved the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act known as Proposition 65 or Prop 65. The purpose of Proposition 65 is to ensure that people are informed about exposure to chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm.A company with ten or more employees that operates within the State of California (or sells products in California) must comply with the requirements of Proposition 65. To comply, businesses are: (1) prohibited from knowingly discharging listed chemicals into sources of drinking water;and (2) required to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a listed chemical. Proposition 65 mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm. The Prop 65 list, which must be updated annually, includes over 1,000 chemicals, including many that are commonly used in the electronics industry.

Although our manufacturing process is “lead-free” and RoHS compliant, it remains possible that trace amounts of lead could be found in components or sub assemblies of Ambient Weather Products. Bisphenol A (BPSA) could conceivably be present in minute amounts in our plastic housings, lenses, labels or adhesives, and DEHP & DINP (phthalates) could possibly be found in PVC wire coatings of our cables, housings, and power cords. Unlike RoHS, Prop 65 does not establish a specific threshold for reporting on the substances of concern and instead sets forth a much less definitive standard requiring that the business demonstrate with certainty that there is “no significant risk” resulting from exposure. With respect to carcinogens, the “no significant risk” level is defined as the level which is calculated to result in not more than one excess case of cancer in 100,000 individuals exposed over a 70-year lifetime. In other words, if you are exposed to the chemical in question at this level every day for 70 years, theoretically, it will increase your chances of getting cancer by no more than 1 case in 100,000 individuals so exposed. With respect to reproductive toxicants, the “no significant risk” level is defined as the level of exposure which, even if multiplied by 1,000, will not produce birth defects or other reproductive harm. In other words, the level of exposure is below the “no observable effect level,” divided by 1,000. (The “no observable effect level” is the highest dose level which has not been associated with observable reproductive harm in humans or test animals.) Proposition 65 does not clarify whether exposure is to be measured only in normal operation, or in the event of misuse such as intentionally damaging, incinerating or consuming an Ambient Weather Product or component and Ambient Weather has not attempted to evaluate the level of exposure.

A Proposition 65warning means one of two things: (1) the business has evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the “no significant risk level”; or (2) the business has chosen to provide a warning simply based on its knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure. The California government has itself clarified that “The fact that a product bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is unsafe.” The government has also explained, “You could think of Proposition 65 more as a ‘right to know’ law than a pure product safety law.”

While using Ambient Weather Products as intended, we believe any potential exposure would be negligible or well within the “no significant risk” range. However, to ensure compliance with California law and our customers’ right to know, we have elected to place the Proposition 65 warning signs on Ambient Weather Products.

Q: What is the data set that the Consoles send to AmbientWeather.net cloud hosting service?

It is an http write command, port 80. The protocol looks like this:

Awnet Advanced Settings

When it is sent to our website, there is also an encrypted string that is proprietary and included in the http write, so we know it is you.

Currently, the Google Home feature for Ambient Weather Network is temporarily suspended due to an ongoing Google recertification process. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please Note: Estimated time of recertification completion is September 2024
