• Cover the solar collector to shut of the solar energy source.
• Remove the batteries.
• Let sit until the red LED on the bottom goes out showing you had drained the solar capacitor
• Press the reset button (#10, below) for a full minute with a pointed object, such as a pen tip:

• Reinsert fresh batteries
• Uncover the solar collector.
• LED(#11) should flash once per 16 seconds. If it is not flashing, the sensor array must be replaced.
• Power down and up the console to resync(Remove batteries and AC Adapter then reinsert)
• May take a few minutes for the outside array information to display on the console.

We also have a video which you can watch to walk you through the reset.

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.

This guide provides installation and mounting solutions for weather stations for home, business and industry.

Mounting Rules Of Thumb

Wind: The wind gauge should be mounted four times the distance of the differential height of the tallest obstruction, or:

Distance = 4 (Obstruction Height – Pole Height)

or

Pole Height = Obstruction Height – Distance / 4

Example 1: 
House = 20 ft tall, pole = 5′ tall. How far away from the house should I mount the pole?
Distance = 4 (20 – 5) ft = 60′ away from house.

Example 2:
House = 20 ft tall, distance = 50′. How tall should the pole be?
Pole Height = 20 – 50/4 = 7.5′

Temperature: Mount at least 5′ away from any radiation source (building, ground, vegetation, grass, rocks, etc).

Weather Station Mounting General Guidelines (pdf)

Weather.gov has excellent suggestions here:

https://www.weather.gov/media/epz/mesonet/CWOP-Siting.pdf

Mounting Options

Included in the table below is:

• Mounting solutions for various locations (ground, roof, eave, dock, fence, chimney, marine, automobile and more)
• Temperature radiation shields for temperature sensors
• Rain gauge shelves
• Compasses for wind direction calibration

Connect any of our IFTTT-enabled Ambient Weather Stations to your favorite Amazon Alexa device in just a few easy steps. After completing the steps below, you will have the ability to ask Alexa for things like weather reports, outdoor conditions, indoor conditions, and past weather events.

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!

Don't forget to return to your personal dashboard once you've completed setting up Amazon Alexa. Ambientweather.net offers a customizable dashboard of your conditions and sensors along with a large interactive weather community where you can share your own forecasts and connect with stations in your area.

3. Download the Amazon Alexa Skill

Sign in to your Amazon account and add the Ambient Weather Skill at no cost.

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

If your clock never synchronizes to the atomic time, there can be several reasons:

1. Be patient. It can take up to a week to adjust to the atomic clock. The Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. Urban environments can also effect the signal strength.
2. Test and replace the battery in the clock, if required. Low batteries are often the cause for weak reception.
3. Relocate the clock. It is possible the clock is in an area with a lot of wireless interference.   Locate the console at night near a window or outer wall, and away from other radiating sources, like wireless routers or TVs. This will insure the best reception possible.
4.  If your clock did not change with Daylight Savings Time (DST), make sure the DST switch on the back of the clock is set to ON.
5. If your clock is off by increments of an hour, the Time Zone (TZ) is set incorrectly. Check the Time Zone switch on the back of the clock.
6. If the problem persists, we have a one year warranty. Please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

1. First, check Wunderground.com to make sure the station is really reporting:
   https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/mypws
   If the status indicator is green , your station is reporting.
2. If it is reporting, there are several reasons why it is not updating in the app or the map:

• If you went offline or new to Wunderground.com, it takes a day or two to get added to the map.
• If Wunderground.com detects a Quality Control issue in your data (weather station went offline for a period of time, or temperature is out of range when compared to other weather stations in your area). Sorry, we have no insight to what the error actually is and how the algorithm works.
• It can be an issue with the Wunderground.com website.  Be patient – they usually fix it. You can report the issue here:

1. If the rain is under reporting, loss of reception may result in uncounted rain with older firmware. You can update to the latest firmware here:
   https://www.ambientweather.com/amwewswsdo.html
2. For WS-1000, WS-1001, WS-1002, WS-1200, WS-1201 owners: Your display may be showing rain rate (in/hr) and it has not rained in the last ten minutes. Change the console rain increment from 1h (one hour) to daily, weekly, monthly or total rain. Do these increments of rain also read 0.00? If so, and it has recently rained, reference the next step.Note that instantaneous rain rate = rain in the last 10 minutes x 6.
3. Make sure the rain gain is set to 1.0 on the calibration screen.Setting the rain gain to 0.1 for example will under report rain by a factor of 10 and would require 0.1” of rain to report 0.01”.
4. The tipping mechanism may be stuck because of debris.  Pour water slowly through the rain bucket and listen for clicking of the rain gauge mechanism. Each click represents 0.01 in of rain. See if this rain is accurately recorded on the console.
5. The tipping mechanism has not been recently cleaned and bugs have nested inside the rain gauge or debris has collected in the funnel.Clean the rain gauge funnel per the User Manual.Clean the interior of the rain gauge until free from bugs and debris. Spray with bug spray to prevent future nesting.To clean the interior of the rain gauge, reference the Advanced Troubleshooting guide in the manual. Important Note: Do not stress the wires when opening the sensor array.
   
6. The rain gauge is beyond repair.If under one year warranty, visit:

principal winds. Listed clockwise, these are:

Weather Stations use a 16-point compass rose.

16-point compass roses are constructed by bisecting the angles of the principal winds to come up with intermediate compass points, known as half-winds, at angles of difference of 22​1⁄2°. The names of the half-winds are simply combinations of the principal winds to either side, principal then ordinal. E.g. North-northeast (NNE), East-northeast (ENE), etc.

1. Make sure your display console is already connected to WiFi (your WiFi icon in the time field will be on ).
2. To enter your station ID and Station Key, you will need to launch the AmbientTool mobile application for configuring the console.
3. Follow the wizard shown in the figures below and enter the Station ID and Station Key and select Save.

DO NOT copy and paste your station key into the app, as it will add a lagging space. Make sure you type it in. Also, it is easy to confuse the lower case letter l, upper case I and the number 1, as well as the number 0 and the letter O.

Fog. Fog forms when the difference between air temperature and dew point is less than 2.5 °C (4.5 °F).

As an example:

Temperature = 70.0 degF

Dew Point = 65.5 degF.

Humidity = 83%

In this example, fog begins forming at 83%.

Mist.  Mist forms when the relative humidity is greater than about 70%.

Rain. Often, rain will be falling from clouds where the humidity is 100% into air with a lower humidity. For example, it can rain at a ground humidity of 60%, but over time, the humidity will increase.

High Humidity as it Relates to a Weather Station:

100% humidity is not possible as the air is completely saturated and water droplets fall out. The maximum a weather station will measure is 99%.

High (and low) humidity are very difficult to measure. The accuracy is generally guaranteed to 95% and then degrades due to the non-linearity and high gain of the capacitive sensor vs. water vapor in the air.

The weather station uses alkaline batteries because of their wide temperature range.  However, any AA battery will work in the unit, including non-rechargeable batteries.

However, we now recommend non-rechargeable Energizer Lithium Ultimate batteries over rechargeable batteries:

https://www.ambientweather.com/enaaliba3baf.html

They operate between -40 °F and 140 °F (-40 to 60 °C).  They will not damage the weather station or the batteries because of the low charging current.

Using Ni-Mh or Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries are fine but expect a very limited temperature operating range.

Our newest sensor array (WS-5000-ARRAY) :

https://ambientweather.com/amwewsreulan.html

uses a super capacitor as the energy storage device, and back up non-rechageable Lithium batteries. It is a better design because of the limited life of rechargeable batteries.

This is a very common complaint with weather station owners, regardless of model numbers or manufacturers (from the low cost $100 weather station to $1000+ weather stations). Many of the units returned to us meet their accuracy requirements based on a constant speed fan test.

Here are some things to look for on how wind speed and wind gust are defined, proper installation techniques and wind speed perception in general.

1. In general, if you are getting some drag or bearing failure, the cups will come to an abrupt stop in low winds. If the wind cups coast down to zero wind speed, this signifies your bearings are fine.
2. Most weather stations average the wind speed over the update period and provide the peak gust in the update period (defined as wind speed and wind gust). Average wind speed, from a perception stand point, is much lower than wind gust, because wind speed is never a constant. Most customers identify with wind gust (when branches fall down for example). Thus, it may be beneficial from a perception stand point to focus on the gust and not the speed.
3. Most weather stations have a lift off speed (overcoming static friction). This lift off speed can be about 2 miles per hour. This is rarely an issue, because the average wind speed tends to average out through sampling wind speeds less than 2 miles per hour.
4. Proper installation is very important. The wind gauge should be mounted four times the distance of the differential height of the tallest obstruction.

   Example: House = 20 ft tall, pole = 5′ tall.

   Distance = 4 (20 – 5) ft = 60′ away from house.

5. Compare your weather station to other stations in your area.

   An excellent guide is to visit:

   wunderground.com

   And enter your zip code. Compare your wind speed and gust with other stations in the area by scrolling to the bottom of the search results page until you see “Nearby Weather Stations”.

6. Here is a general guide in what occurs on land as a function of wind gust:

If the Radio Controlled Clock does not set on your clock or weather station:

• Make sure Daylight Savings Time (DST) is set properly. All states except Hawaii and Arizona observe Daylight Savings Time. If you observe DST, make sure this setting is turned ON. The default is OFF (except for the RC-8427)
• Be patient. Wait at least one week. The RCC is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. Urban environments can also effect the signal strength.
• Locate the console or clock at night near a window or outer wall, and away from other radiating sources, like wireless routers or TVs. This will insure the best reception possible.
• Test and replace the batteries in the console, if required. Low batteries are often the cause for weak reception.
• Check your Time Zone Setting. Make sure your time zone is set properly in the display console settings. All times zones in the USA are negative. It is very common for the customer to enter 6 instead of -6 for example.Here is a list of Time Zones:
  

  Hours from GMT	Time Zone	Cities

47. P49. Changed Hourly Rain to old method. Hourly rain is based on the rainfall in the last hour as determined by your database. If your database does not have data from one hour ago, it uses the next point in your database.
    Rain Rate is based on the rate calculated by your console and can be any variety of calculations. Please contact the manufacturer for method of calculation.
    Total Rainfall, Rate of Change is defined as the instantaneous rain rate based on the differential equation (in la place domain format)
    L(f(s)) = s / (Ts + 1), where T = 60 minutes, and transformed into the Z Domain. For more information on La Place and Z transformations, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-transform.
48. P50. There was an error introduced in a previous version of Virtual Weather Station where it “broke” downloading archive data, which was fixed in this version.
49. P51. Added adjustable baud rate for Peet Bros weather stations. It used to be fixed but now you can set to 2400 or 19200.
50. P52. P51 did not have the correct DLLs attached, so I added the additional DLLs. Updated to latest VantagePro DLL. However, the baromater offset is broken in this DLL so I modified the software so that you enter your altitude and it will correct to uncorrected pressure for you in the software.
51. P53 is a major upgrade. Adds support for WeatherLinkIP (the TCPIP version of WeatherLink). Adds adjustable timer with WMR100 and WMR200 which results in much faster updates. You must set up your communication panel again so make a note of your comport and baud rate settings before you uprade. If you are running HeavyWeather, make a note of the filepaths. If you are running Peet, check your mode switch.
    Also fixed issue with WeatherLink automation that was introduced in a previous version. Added support for RS300A and RS600A.
52. P54. Added keep alive function that prevents lost communication for models RS300, RS600, WMR100 and WMR200.
53. P55. Added direct USB communication for the 6510USB (as opposed to using USB to serial converter drivers). If you are having issues with operating a 6510USB in serial mode, I would recommend switching to USB mode.
54. P56. When switching from one Vantage Pro protocal to another, it would lock up. I fixed this issue.
55. P57. If the comport selection failed, it would revert back to Com 1. This was fixed.
56. P58. Added functionality to add the high windspeed received from the Davis VantagePro2 into the graphs. Added troubleshooting capability for WMR200 archive data.
57. P59. There are some reports that the WMR200A does not download all of the data to Virtual Weather Station. I have not been able to reproduce this, but I added a feature where it displays the first archived data point, the most current live reading, and the current record being downloaded, so we can troubleshoot this issue. This is under the WMR200 Sensor Communication window.
58. P60. Continuation of the effort in P59. If you closed the WMR200 communication window and reopened, the archive records would not be updated.
59. P61. Some users of VantagePro2 serial data loggers are reporting slow update rates or lock-ups. This occurred after the latest VantagePro DLL update. The only change for serial communication was a change in the timeout method incorporated by Davis. To test this theory, I reverted back to the old timeout method for serial communication only.
60. P62 – P64. On some computers, the Wunderground | 5-Day Forecast panel would crash. I never figured out why but changing the number of cities from 4 to 3 eliminated the problem. The panel must be too complex to load on some computers. I hope this limitation in functionality will not hurt too many people.
    More changes to the WMR200 download archive transition state. The difficulty arises because this station sends download data and real time data at the same time and there is no flag sent by the WMR200 that tells us when the download is complete, so I used to base this on timing between the first real time record equalling the last archive record time, but due to USB buffering, the first real time record could represent old data and therefore the download record was incomplete (it would assume there were no more archive records). I fixed this by setting a 20 second timeout for the archive records. The assumption is after 20 seconds, if there are no more archive records, the software makes the assumption that there are no more records left since they usually come in 1-3 second bursts.
61. P65. Some users are complaining that the rate of change and intergration features are not working properly. It may be an issue with clocking on the computer (which is speculation at the moment). To view the one second clocking, select Help | Internet Statusfrom the menubar. At the bottom of the panel is a one second timer update. It should be close to one second.
62. P66. Added date check on La Crosse / Heavy Weather option. Only dates between the years 1999 and 2100 will be accepted. Otherwise, it throws out the data.
63. P67. Solved a very random issue with the WMR200 download. It turns out that if you set the archive interval in the console to 2 minutes (as an example), it may capture data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, .. minutes after the hour. However, if you set the database interval to 10 minutes in Virtual Weather Station, it records to the database every 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes after the hour. Thus, the station archive interval and the VWS database will never “align”. This is not an issue with real time data collection since it is constantly updating. I changed the software such that it will record all archive downloads. The only drawback is your graphs will be “uneven”. In the case above, it will update every 2 minutes in the database during the archive download and every 10 minutes during real time data capture. To avoid this confusion, set your database interval and the weather station archive interval to the same value.
64. P68. Removed popup message when VWS does not recognize HeavyWeather is running. This is now a message in the status bar. My guess is HW is crashing but it temorarily stopped VWS from continuing to read data. It will still relaunch HW.
65. P69. There was an issue where if you selected the option to restart the software after 30 minutes of lost communication, it could restart the software over and over again if it took a while for the software shutdown to occur. Increased the HeavyWeather no sensor update status message from 1 minute to 3 minutes after startup. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the sensor to report.
66. P70. There was a scaling error on THWS for the VantagePro2 when non-imperial units were selected.
    Added a one second timer function. Select Help | Internet Status. If this timer is grossly in error (not reading close to 1 second), we found this to be a clocking issue with the AMD processor. This problem occurs on computers that are running an x64-based version of Windows or an x86-based (32-bit) version of Windows or when the computer has the AMD Cool’n’Quiet technology enabled in the BIOS. For more information and a workaround solution, please reference: http://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/Timing+Issues%2C+Integration+and+rate+of+changes+%28differentiation%29
67. P71-72. Addressed WMR200 date and time issue.
68. P73. Fixed Metar text file crashing issue.
69. P74-75. Corrected weather station link on web pages for newer model weather stations. Fixed issue with error reporting for Davis Classic Weather Stations.
70. P76. Correcting issues with spikes in data with WMR200A. This is caused by an errant archive record (not a problem with Virtual Weather Station, this is a problem with the data logger).
71. P77. Some stations report separate wind gust. If this value is bad (out of range) it was not getting trapped by the Range Limits (select Settings | Range Settings). Now the sotware sets the gust limits to the same values as the wind speed limits.
    The TCPIP version of the WeatherLink data logger requires that the Virtual Weather Station stop communicating with the data logger for 5 seconds once per minute so that it will upload the data to www.WeatherLink.com
72. P80. Fixed issue with TCPIP version of the VantagePro2 data logger. The logger requires that we toggle the TCPIP port closed and then open once per minute so the logger can talk to WeatherLink.com. However, once in a great while, the TCPIP port was in use when it tried to reopen. The software now attempts to reopen 10 times instead of only once.
73. P81. Readdressing issues in P80. Some users are reporting lockups so added the timeout each time the port is reopened as an attempt to solve this.
    Added feature to determine what records are being downloaded from the VantagePro2 archive memory. The file is located here:
    \vws\data\vantage.txt and includes the download record header, all of the records downloaded, and any errors.
74. P84. Fixed issue with TCPIP version of the VantagePro2 data logger. See P80. I now close and open the comport on every read cycle so the logger can talk to WeatherLink.com. In P80, there was an issue where the software would lose communication when it tried to reopen the comport, so it now tries on every read and write cycle.
75. P85. Fixed issue with WMR968 Sensor Communication window that was broken in P84. Fixed issue with Smart Forecast not being initialized at start up.
76. P86. Updated support for new Radio Shack 63-256 Weather Station. Updated manual to reflect new weather station.
77. P87. Rolled revision so customer could install.
78. P88-90. There was an issue with multiple display images popping up the first time the display is modified due to an initialization issue (fixed).
79. P91. One specific customer mentioned FTP operation was hanging yet communication continues. I do believe this is being caused by the operating system and internet function timeouts, but I created a workaround. The program will restart in the event any operating state exceeds the Max Connect Time. To set these parameters:
    a. Select Internet | FTP General Settings and check Restart Program with Critical FTP Fault.
    b. If this time exceeds the Max Connect Time (minutes),also on this panel, the program will restart when stuck in an operating state.
80. P92. Fixed crashing problem with WMR200.
    Fixed Columbia Weather Systems (CWS) total rain issue. With the CWS, it only calculates the daily rain and not the total rain, like other stations. For CWS, VWS now stores the total rain in the offset column of the Calibration panel (select Settings | Calibration Settingsfrom the menubar). This offset is updated on a daily basis and throughout the day is calculated by adding this offset to the current daily rain. This calcuation of total rain is then used to calculate daily, hourly and monthly rain.
81. P93. Added functionality to determine why excessive data is being downloaded from the WMR200 weather station. The file \vws\data\wmr200archive.txt includes a time stamp for each record downloaded from archive. If you are having problems with random data being downloaded from archive memory, send me this file and I will review it. Send the file to ed@ambientweather.com for review.
    Changed the way Heavy Rain in area is reported on METAR icons.
82. P94-95. Another stab at fixing CWS rain issue. Added functions for Rainwise and Columbia that drops out of download state if the OK flag is missed and the maximum number of download records are exceeded.
83. P96. There has been an ongoing problem with calculating daily, monthly and yearly rain. To provide some background, most weather stations do not calculate this data, so VWS must calculate it. It is usually calculated by subtracting the daily minumum total rain from the current total rain, or:
    Daily rain = current total rain – daily minimum total rain
    The issue is that the quality of the data from the weather station may be questionable, causing a 0.00 reading in total rain, resulting the daily rain equalling the total rain, or:
    Daily rain = current total rain – 0 = current total rain
    To limit these issues and band-aid this problem, it will only calculate the daily minimum rain when the date changes. Since rain is always increasing, this is not an issue, it will always be the minimum value at midnight.
84. P97. Addressing Columbia Weather Stations. Total rain still not correct. Also, does not stop downloading records. To troubleshoot, I added a text file \vws\data\columbia.txt that tracks some of the critical paramters for both issues. If you are having problems with random data being downloaded from archive memory, send me this file and I will review it. Send the file to ed@ambientweather.comfor review. Make sure run it for a few days and make sure rain is accumulating.
85. P100. Supports the new Vantage Vue by Davis Instruments.
86. P101. Added support for the Oregon Scientific EMS100.
87. P104. Troubleshooting datbase update issues.
88. Notice: Version P104 generates a Virtual Weather Station runtime error so I have downgraded to p101. This error occurred when I updated compilers. I have contacted our compiler manufacturer (National Instruments) to resolve this issue and they are researching it for me.
89. Version 14.01p00. Fixed crashing issue with Version p104. New compiler caused issue
    New compiler now supports Windows 7.
90. Version 14.01p02. Added support for La Crosse Technlogy WS-2810, as well as other newer La Crosse weather stations where the currdat.lst file is located in a different location than the Heavy Weather Executable file. For the WS-2810, I recommend deleting the file \vws\setup\config6.bin (which stores the Communication | Communication panel information) and restarting Virtual Weather Station software. Next, select the WS-2xxx seriesweather station as the weather station type.
91. Version 14.01p03. Crashing issue was back. Found it to be the 5-Day Forecast panel. Not sure why but reduced the number of five day forecast selections from 3 to 1. Not sure if this is a windows issue or a compiler issue, because the actual code is not crashing. I apologize to those that use more than one forecast location.
92. Version 14.01p04. Added jpeg file error notifications in status bar. One user can not determine why he an not generate jpeg files.
93. Version 14.01p05-06. Bracketed bad dates better by only allowing downloads within 2 years of current computer or system date. Added more messages to determine why WMR200A archive downloads are sometimes incomplete, including bad data strings and CRC errors. This information is written to the file \vws\data\wmr200archive.txt.
94. Version 14.01p07. cviinet.dll was missing in 14.01.
95. Version 14.01p08. Crashing continues. Still appears to be related to 5 Day Forecast panel. The debugger does not give any clues so I can only point the finger at the compiler + development platform I use from National Instruments. I deleted this panel and built in from scratch, changing some of the presentation of the data. You will have to set this panel up again, which involves setting the timer, and entering your location. Sorry folks, this has been a real pain to solve.
96. Version 14.01p10. In the latest version of Heavy Weather, they changed their executable filename and location. It used to always be located here:
    c:\progam files\HeavyWeather\Heavy Weather.exe, so all the user had to do was browse to the directory. Now I have the user find the actual file instead of the directory. If you need to correct this, Under Communication | Communication, rebrowse to the HeavyWeather file location. There is more information here:
    http://ambientweather.wikispaces.com/HeavyWeather+Default+File+Locations
97. Version 14.01p11. Fixed issues with daily, monthly and yearly rain. Prevented 0.00 total rain value having effect on calculating the daily, monthly and yearly rainfall (some weather stations do not calculate these values so VWS must calculate them. However, some stations have issues with zero “spiking” to zero and causing the daily, monthly and yearly rainfall to reset to the total rainfall. VWS now throws out any zero rain value. I used to debouce it 5 cycles but that did not always work. Also changed the Settings | Rainfall panel to make it easier to edit daily, monthly and yearly values.
98. Version 14.01p13. Updated database from 20,000 points to 50,000 points.
99. Version 14.01p14. There was a bug in Version p13 that would give you an error message that the database was exceeded.
100. Version 14.01p15. A couple of users are experiencing high and low summary read and write errors. I added code that creates a file called \vws\data\summary.txt to see what types of errors these are. You can send this file to me: ed@ambientweather.com if you have issues. Also, the summary files were only written once per day and at shutdown, and if you did not gracefully shut VWS down, you would lose this data. I now write this data once per minute.
101. Version 14.01p17. Did not properly handle the day change highs and lows in Version 14.01p16. Fixed. Some users have complained of ghosting issues when program is unminimized. Fixed by maximizing, minimizing and maximizing again. Yikes, Windows can be flaky.
102. Version 14.01p18-p19. Implemented new Davis DLL which fixes minor issues documented here: http://davisnet.com/support/weather/software_dllsdk.asp
103. Version 14.01p20. Issues with resizing database resolved. No longer get annoying popup at start up if database needs resizing.
104. Version 14.01p21. Some users still complaining about missing downloads. I have never been able to reproduce but I changed the keep alive write command. It would only send it out if data was read first. Now it sends it out regardless if any data was read back. I can not guarantee this will fix it, just trying different things out because I can not reproduce.
105. Version 14.01p22. When the latest Davis DLL was implemented, it would default the display console to imperial units. I fixed this by getting the units first and then setting the same units in the get units command.
106. Version 14.01p23. Found and fixed issue with plotting THWS parameters.
107. Version 14.01p24-25. Added error tracing for daysum.txt file from the summary.txt file. One user is having issues with this file. Added Keep Alive Flag option for the WMR200. One user is having issues with no or interrupted downloads. I added this feature to troubleshoot. If downloads are intermittent, turn on or off this flag. Select Communication | Sensor Communication | Keep Alive Flag to set this flag.
108. Version 14.01p26. Fixed issue with program crashing if more than 91 file parameters are selected for file reporting.
109. Version 14.01p27. Fixed issue with database. Could not edit beyond 30,000 records.
110. Version 14.01p28. If a warning is set and clears, the message “No Warnings” on the webpage will not be displayed.
111. Version 14.01p30. Added WMR88A to list of weather stations. This is a new Oregon Scientific weather station. Also fixed crashing and display issues with Distribution Graphs for higher numbered parameters.
112. Version 14.01p31. Version p30 broke Wind Direction distribution. Fixed.
113. Version 14.01p32. Addressed issues with daily, monthly and yearly highs and lows that feed the displays and NOAA reports. The data would get corrupted. The new version will only allow a high and low to be entered if the current date and time exceeds the high and low date and time. This has something to do with the timing of the program with relation to the timing of the weather station clock, as well as bogus data. This can also effect the daily, monthly and yearly rainfall. Fixed issue with 5 day forecast. You must set up this panel again. Also fixed Davis Instruments forecast issue – if it is below 32 degF, the icon will show snow instead of rain.
114. Version 14.01p33. Fixed issues introduced in p32.
115. Version 14.01p34. Fixed issue related to highs and lows, Rainwise and introduction of p32.
116. Version 14.01p36. Continue to troubleshoot Rainwise and highs and lows.
117. Version 14.01p37. Fixed METAR reporting when temperature is missing from report.
118. Version 14.01p40. Ongoing issues with Rainwise. Trying to resolve issues with highs and lows rolling over.
119. Version 14.01p42. Resolved database overflow issue. The database would get corrupted if 50,000 points was reached and resized.
120. Version 14.01p43. p42 did not completely resolve the issue.
121. Version 14.01p44. Fixed crashing issue with WeatherBug.
122. Version 14.01p46. Removed debug code for Peet Bros.
123. Version 14.01p47. When Wunderground.com weather warnings time out, it does not parse the data properly. I did a few things: (1) increased the timeout from 10 seconds to 60 seconds (2) If there is a download error, the tag will display an error in retrieving data instead of No Warning. (3) under some circumstances, the tag would not parse properly.
124. Version 15.00p00. Removed wininet.dll file. It was causing errors with Windows 8.1. Instead, it will get the dll from the system folder installed with the operating system.
125. Version 15.00p03. Added WeatherBug support for Monthly and Yearly Rain.
126. Version 15.00p04. Fixed crashing when WeatherCentral feature used.
127. Version 15.00p05. Fixed more crashing issues.

1. The LED on the front of the sensor (see image below, #1) should flash when you put the batteries in and once per minute thereafter. If it is not flashing, it may need to be replaced.
2. Make sure the sensor is transmitting on channel 1. Remove the battery compartment from the back of the sensor, and make sure the three position switch is in the far left hand position.  if it is not, set the switch to channel 1 and then power down and up the remote sensor by pressing the reset button.
3. Make sure the console is displaying Channel 1. A common mistake is to switch the console to channel 2 or 3. To switch back to channel 1, press the UP button on the front of the console to switch to channel 1.
4. If the sensor(s) have stopped communicating to your console,  it may be as simple as placing the remote(s) (powered up) about 10 feet away from the console, power down and up the console by removing one or more batteries, disconnecting from AC power, wait 30 seconds, and put the batteries back in, then wait several minutes to resync.DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS and look for the search icon. Wait until the search icon turns off before pressing any buttons.Again, make sure both the console and remote are on channel 1.

On June 14, 2018, we discovered a bug in Firmware Versions 4.0.0 that stops the updates to Wundergr0und.com if WeatherCloud.net settings are entered.

To temporarily resolve this issue, from the console configuration tool awnet, clear out the settings for WeatherCloud.net and select Save. Wunderground.com will begin updating.

To permanently fix this issue, update the Firmware to Version 4.0.2.

To upgrade the firmware, launch awnet  app from your Mobile Device or Tablet,  and select the Upgrade Firmware link.

If you are running Firmware 3.x.x, you can upgrade your firmware to the latest version by converting your console from WS-2902 to WS-2902-A.

The WS-2902A makes it easier to set up and broadcasts a WiFi signal to connect your device directly to the console.

For more information, please reference:

How Do I Convert My Console From A WS-2902 To WS-2902A?

Notes:

• You will need to download the new app awnet from the Apple Store.
• You will need to download the latest manual for the WS-2902A Weather Station

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.

1. Make sure the Hour Offset is 0 for the USA.
2. Daylight Settings Time may take a day or two to adjust.

The console is capable of uploading directly to your own website, so you can process the data independent of the cloud services.

From the awnet app, tap Enable and enter your server IP / hostname, protocol type, path, port and upload interval, and select Save.

Weather Underground Protocol:

The Weather Underground protocol is defined here:

https://support.weather.com/s/article/PWS-Upload-Protocol?language=en_US

Ambient Weather Protocol:

The upload protocol is an https write command (port 80), separated by the & character.

The server shall support both simple text and encrypted data stings.

The weather station will always send the Station MAC (a unique identifier), and date/time sting.

The remaining string consists of measured parameters. Only parameters in the customer’s system are sent.

Here is a typical URL, and will vary in size based on the number of measured parameters:

MAC=XX.XX.XX.XX.XX&dateutc=2000-01-01+10%3A32%3A35&winddir=230&windspeedmph=12&windgustmph=12&tempf=70&hourlyrainin=0&dailyrainin=0&weeklyrainin=0.03&monthlyrainin=0.05&yearlyrainin=12.26&totalrainin=15.82&baromrelin=29.18&baromabsin=28.12&humidity=90&tempinf=77.2& humidityin=32&uv=3&solarradiation=320

The following tables define the parameter names:

In addition to the database parameters described in Table 1, the following parameters may be sent by the weather station in the event there is a low battery indicator. This may trigger an alarm (if the user requests it) but is not stored in the database.

Low Battery = 0

Normal Battery = 1

1. Connect to the Weather Station and load the user interface panel (below).
2. Make sure the Upload Wundeground.com checkbox is checked.
3. Double check your Station ID and Key are correct.
   If AmbientWeather.net is working fine, but Wunderground.com is not updating, this is usually a typo.

    

   It is easy to confuse the lower case letter l, upper case I and the number 1, as well as the number 0 and the letter O. Also, DO NOT copy and paste your station key into the app, as it will add a lagging space.

1. If AmbientWeather.net worked and then stopped for no apparent reason, power down and up the IP Module by removing AC power and reconnecting the AC adapter.
2. If AmbientWeather.net has never updated, and you are receiving the following message:There’s no real-time data yet. Give us a sec…

   make sure you are running firmware Version 4.0.0 or greater.

3. This is almost always a typo.  Double check the MAC address exactly matches between what is entered on the  AmbientWeather.net My Devices panel: https://ambientweather.net/devices and what is shown on the ObserverIP Weather Network Panel:
   

To calibrate relative pressure to sea-level on the display console:

1. Press and hold the BARO button for 2 seconds to enter barometric mode. The icon RELATIVE or ABSOLUTE will flash.Make sure the RELATIVE Pressure is showing on the display. If ABSOLUTE Pressure is showing, switch to RELATIVE pressure per Section 5.10.2.
2. Press (do not hold) the BARO button again. The relative pressure will flash.
3. Press the [ ] button to increase the relative pressure and the [ ] to decrease the relative pressure.
4. Press (do not hold) the BARO button again to exit the relative pressure calibration mode, or wait 60 seconds to time out.

Note: After calibration, the barograph will reset to 0 change (flat line across the graph).

Relative Pressure Discussion:

The console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level).

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 relative pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured absolute 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 in Hg (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 (the internet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

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 sure that you did not enter a space on the end of your station ID or station key. It is easy to do, especially if you Copy and Paste from the Wunderground.com website.
4. Make certain you entered the correct MAC on AmbientWeather.net and the correct Station ID and Station Key from Wunderground.com (no typos).
5. If your console is plugged into a switch, plug it directly into your router, and then power down and up the IP Module.
6. If the problem persists, upgrade your IP Module to the latest firmware:

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.

The standard calculation for Dew Point is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point#Calculating_the_dew_point

A well-known approximation used to calculate the dew point, T_dp, given just the actual (“dry bulb”) air temperature, T (in degrees Celsius) and relative humidity (in percent), RH, is the Magnus formula:

The more complete formulation and origin of this approximation involves the interrelated saturated water vapor pressure (in units of millibars, also called hectopascals) at T, P_s(T), and the actual vapor pressure (also in units of millibars), P_a(T), which can be either found with RH or approximated with the barometric pressure (in millibars), BP_mb, and “wet-bulb” temperature, T_w is (unless declared otherwise, all temperatures are expressed in degrees Celsius):

For greater accuracy, P_s(T) (and therefore γ(T, RH)) can be enhanced, using part of the Bögel modification, also known as the Arden Buck equation, which adds a fourth constant d:

where

a = 6.1121 mb, b = 18.678, c = 257.14 °C, d = 234.5 °C.

If the Humidity and resultant Dew Point is inaccurate,  the sensor array will need calibrating or replacing.

1. The hygrometer can be calibrated from the display console or Observer IP Module if it is off by a small amount. Reference the User Manual for details on calibration.
2. Here is a guide on testing the hygrometer accuracy:

   How Can I Test The Accuracy Of My Hygrometer (Humidity Calibration)?

3. If the humidity error is excessive, the sensor array will need replacing. We have a one year warranty. Visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

1. It is highly advisable to lightly tap the glass near the center brass knob with your fingers before taking a barometer reading. The light tap will overcome any friction that may affect accurate hand readings, especially during periods of slow atmospheric changes. The Coast Guard has informed us that tapping the barometer is even required on the most expensive aneroid barometers, because the mechanism is made deliberately “stiff”.
2. Make sure you have calibrated the barometer to match the local airport. There is a discussion here:

   Relative Barometric Pressure Does Not Match Official Source.

3. If you live at high altitude, your barometer may be out of range (reads low all of the time).Since barometric pressure is significantly affected by altitude (and to a lesser extent, changes in weather), the barometer must be calibrated to sea-level to offset altitude effects.If your altitude exceeds the measurement range of the sensor mechanism, the barometer can not be adjusted to compensate for your altitude effects. Most sea-level barometers operate up to 3,000′. You will need to purchase a barometer that is designed for higher altitude conditions.

“Note: The text / icons on the face of the analog barometer are for reference only. The needle will NOT move from Stormy to Dry during normal barometric pressure events.”

If the wind direction is incorrect, it is likely a calibration issue. You must calibrate your wind vane to true north using markers on the wind vane. This procedure is described in your product User Manual.

Some other common mistakes.

1. Wind direction appears 180 degrees out of phase. Note that wind direction is based on the direction the wind is coming from, not going to. For example, you will hear on news reports that ‘the wind is from the North”.
2. Calibrate your direction to true north, not magnetic north.Declination is the difference between true north and magnetic north (compasses measure magnetic north).

If you are uncertain which alarm is set or you simply want to turn off all of the alarms at once, we recommend a factory reset. This takes two hands at the same time:

1. Remove one battery from the battery compartment. Wait 10 seconds for the console to go completely blank.
2. Press and hold the [SET] and [MIN/MAX] buttons at the same time and reinsert the battery. Continue to hold. The backlight will flash 12 times.
3. When the flashing is complete, let go of the buttons. The console has now been restored to factory default.
4. Wait several minutes before pressing any buttons for the remote sensor to sync to the console.
5. With the remote and console 10 feet away from each other, remove the batteries from the display console and wait 10 seconds. Put the batteries back in.
6. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes.
7. The remote sensor search icon  will appear near where the outdoor temperature and humidity would normally be.  Wait several minutes for this icon to turn off.

With the models listed below, the clock attempts to synchronize to the radio controlled time at the following times:

2:00 am,  8:00 am, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm.

The Radio Controlled Clock (RCC) is a shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better at night due to solar interference during the daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the weaker the signal. Urban environments can also effect the signal strength.

Thus, you may only receive the signal once a night, or once every few days, which is sufficient for keeping accurate time.

If the RCC synchronization only occurs at night (say 2:00 am), you may not be aware, because the synchronization may fail at 2:00 pm due to solar and other interference.

One option is to be viewing the clock between 2:00 am and 8:00 am to see if the clock set at night.

If your clock is keeping accurate time but does not synchronize 100% of the time, this is normal.

Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such as a building structure, the ground or trees).

Bring the sensor inside a controlled environment where the temperature is stable, like your house or facility.

To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer.

Here is an example:

https://www.amazon.com/ACC610S-Precision-Laboratory-Thermometer-Immersion/dp/B00BQQFNCW

Bi-metal (dial) and other digital thermometers are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is also a poor source due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated).

Place the sensor next to the red spirit thermometer, and allow the sensor to stabilize for a few hours. Compare this temperature to the red spirit thermometer and adjust the console to match the fluid thermometer.

Why does Ambient Weather Ship UPS?

Ambient Weather selected UPS because of their shipping rates and service throughout the USA. We have signed an exclusive contract with UPS and these savings are passed on to our customers. The packages are tracked and insured electronically, which is a must for companies that ship large volumes of packages.

What are my shipping options?

Please visit: http://www.ambientweather.com/info.html

Why not ship USPS?

We do on occasion. It depends on the value of the item.

What about FedEx?

We had to choose one carrier to get the best shipping rates. FedEx does not cover 100% of USA and Canada.

What about Canada?

I am sorry, we do not ship to Canada. Too many customers complained about Canadian Customs, Brokerage and Import Fees. Often times, Amazon will ship to Canada and most of our products are available on Amazon.

Why not ship internationally?

Primarily fraud and returns. This drives up our costs for everyone. In addition to fraud, handling returns, customers refusing to pay unexpected import and duty fees, warranty issues, manufacturer exclusive distribution channels, and licensed wireless specifications are secondary reasons.

Often times, Amazon will ship to Canada and most of our products are available on Amazon.

Do we make any exceptions to shipping internationally?

I am afraid we do not.

Do we have international distributors?

I am afraid we do not.

What happens if my package is lost or stolen?

Please visit: Shipping Claims

I entered my address wrong. Now what?

Wireless devices transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal, generally in the 400 – 900 MHz range. The manufacturer will rate the maximum transmission distance as line of sight. However, the signal will transmit through walls and other obstructions.

• The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each “wall” or obstruction decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

• RF will not transmit through metal barriers. If you have aluminum siding or a metal roof, it is unlikely the RF signal will transmit through this barrier.
• RF will not transmit through earth. For example, if the receiver is placed in the basement, and the earth or ground is obstructing the line of sight transmission, it will not receive the signal.
• Interference can be an issue. In general, wireless internet, phones, security systems and other low power devices have little interference effect. Ham Radio and other high power applications may lose data when transmitting.

Helpful Hint: Wireless phones transmit at similar frequencies and power levels as wireless weather devices. If you have a wireless phone (not a cell phone), place the receiver where you would place the weather station receiver and attempt to use the phone where you would place the transmitter. If you can not use the wireless phone, it is unlikely the weather station will work either.

2. Use your smart phone, tablet, or computer to connect to the console through WiFi. Note that when the console programming is complete, you will resume your default WiFi connection. Note that you cannot connect two devices at the same time when programming.
   
   3. Once connected, enter the following IP address into any browser’s address bar:
   http://192.168.1.1
3. The Console User Interface Panel will load:

Barometers forecast weather based on rate of change of pressure. This does not predict what is happening outside, but rather, if the weather will change in the next 24 to 48 hours due to changes in barometric pressure.

In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is improving (sunny). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is degrading (cloudy or rainy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy or partly sunny (depending on the type of weather station).

The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because it is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance. In most locations, this prediction is only 70% accurate and it is a good idea to consult the National Weather Service for more accurate weather forecasts. In some locations, this prediction may be less or more accurate.

The National Weather Service (and other weather services such as Accuweather and The Weather Channel) have many tools at their disposal to predict weather conditions, including weather radar, weather models, and detailed mapping of ground conditions.  Thus, these forecasts are significantly more accurate then forecasts based on rate of change of pressure.

You will need to give the weather station enough time to predict changes in weather. This can take up to 7days, depending on where you live. Also, make sure you have calibrated the barometer:

Note: Barometric pressure readings, under normal conditions, only fluctuate between 1-1.25 inHg per day”. Not +/- 1-1.25

Reset to Factory Default. Clears all stored memory, calibrations and other variables to factory default.

To restore your display console to factory default, press the Tool icon four times to display the Factory Page.

Press    to select Reset to Factory Default. Press  or  key to popup the Message Box ”Are you sure you want to reset to factory default?” Press   to select Yes. Press the   key to confirm the selection.

To change the transmitter display units of measure (°F vs. °C), change Dip Switch 4, as referenced in the figure below.

Switch in down position . Switch in up position .

Remove and re-insert the batteries after changing the switch position.

Please reset your network in the proper order due to a DNS issue:

To Perform a Network Reset:

1. Unplug power to modem, router and weather console/ObserverIP (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/ObserverIP.

What is DNS?:

Domain Name Server or DNS is a server that translates websites’ addresses so that your browser can connect to them. If the addresses become out-of-date or the server has issues, you’ll encounter a DNS error and won’t be able to connect to a specific site or group of sites even with Internet access. You can potentially fix DNS issues by troubleshooting your current connection, flushing the DNS cache, disabling extra connections, changing your computer’s default DNS server, and even resetting your router

The 1st generation weather stations listed below use a alkaline rechargeable battery as the energy storage, and solar collector recharged the batteries.

WS-1200

WS-1200-IP

WS-1400-IP

WS-1001-WiFi

The second generation weather stations below add a super capacitor as the primary energy storage device.

The super capacitor is charged by the solar collector in the day, and non-rechargeable batteries at night.

This is a more efficient and reliable design.

We recommend Lithium Energizer Ultimate batteries, because of their wide temperature range:

Why Are Lithium Ultimate Batteries Recommended And Not Alkaline Or Rechargeable Batteries?

WS-1201

WS-1201-IP

WS-1401-IP

WS-1002-WiFi

The second generation sensor array is compatible with the first generation sensor array.

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

For out of warranty replacements, please visit: https://www.ambientweather.com/amws2902aconsole.html

Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such as a building structure, the ground or trees).

To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Here is an example:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00551N8Q2

Bi-metal (dial) and digital thermometers (from other weather stations) are not a good source and have their own margin of error. Using a local weather station in your area is a poor source, due to changes in location, timing (airport weather stations are only updated once per hour) and possible calibration errors (many official weather stations are not properly installed and calibrated).

1. Place the sensor in a shaded, controlled environment next to the red spirit thermometer, and allow the sensor to stabilize for 3 hours. We recommend bringing both sensors inside.  Compare this temperature to the red spirit thermometer and adjust the console to match the fluid thermometer.
2. Adjust the temperature from the console to match the red spirit thermometer. Press the Settings button three times to display the calibration panel:
   
3. Press the down button until the temperature field is highlighted, and press plus  or minus  to adjust. Press the left  or right  button to change each multiple value.
4. Press the return button  to return to the main screen.

1. If you recently updated your firmware, you will need to re-enter your Weather Underground Station ID and Station Key.
2. Power down and up your IP Module and wait a few minutes. If the problem persists:
3. Go to the Weather Network panel on your ObserverIP Module:
   
4. Make sure that you did not enter a space on the end of your station ID or station key. It is easy to do, especially if you Copy and Paste from the Wunderground.com website.
5. Make sure the station ID and station key are entered properly.  The station ID and key will be cleared if the reset button is pressed on the back of the back of the IP Module.
6. It is easy to confuse the lower case letter l, upper case I and the number 1, as well as the number 0 and the letter O.
7. If the problem persists, factory reset your IP Module.  You will need to re-enter all of the user settings again. Here is a guide:How Do I Reset The ObserverIP Module To Factory Reset?

The WS-1002-WiFi connects to the Internet via WiFi. The WS-1201-IP connect to the Internet via LAN with the IP Module.

With the WS-1201-IP, the console is independent of the ObserverIP module and both devices receive signals from the indoor and outdoor sensors.

The advantages of the WS-1201-IP as as follows:

• Sensor array communicates directly to both the display console and ObseverIP Module, eliminating idiosyncrasies with a shared WiFi network.
• Color display console can be placed anywhere for viewing real time conditions.

The advantages of the WS-1002-WiFi are as follows:

• Dual wireless technology (RF and WiFi) extends the overall range between the sensor array and your WiFi router.
• Ideal for networks where only WiFi is available (no ethernet connection).
• Works with EasyWeather Software (Mac or PC) over your Local Area Network.

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.

You will want to calculate your barometric pressure to an official reporting station in your area.  Since barometric pressure does not drastically change in a 50 mile radius (unless the weather is rapidly changing), this method of calibration is acceptable.

To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you using Ambientweather.net/baro , and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.

To calibrate the relative pressure, you must be in the SET Mode. To enter the SET mode, press and hold the SET button for two seconds. Refer to the table below.

Note that it is the second of the pressure settings. The first changes the pressure units of measure, the second is the relative pressure calibration. It is a common mistake to confuse the two settings.

When the relative pressure is flashing, press the TEMP/+ button to increase the barometer value and BARO/- to decrease the barometer value from the official source.

What is an API key?

The API key acts as both a unique identifier and a secure, secret token for authentication.

There are two types of API keys:

• Developers: An Application Key is required for each application that you develop. To create a device key, login to your account at AmbientWeather.net and visit: AmbientWeather.net Account Settings.
  
  
• Users: A Device Key is required to connect your weather station to the application created by the developer. To create a device key, login to your account at AmbientWeather.net and visit: AmbientWeather.net Account Settings.
  
  The video below can assist in the API creation process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the console is plugged into AC power. It will not connect to WiFi otherwise.

1. When you first power up the console, or press and hold the MIN/MAX- button for three seconds, the WiFi icon   will flash to signify that it has entered wireless access point (WAP) mode, and is ready to connect to the console’s WiFi.
2. You can use your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart phone to connect to the console’s WiFi. The console’s network name begins with WeatherHome, followed by a unique code.Choose your WiFi network settings  and connect to the WeatherHome, as shown in Figure 52 (your WiFi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with WeatherHome).

   

3. Once connected to the console WiFi, open any web browser, and enter the following IP address into the address bar:

   http://192.168.5.1

   to access the console’s web interface.

   Note: Some browsers will treat 192.168.5.1 as a search, so make sure you include the header http://,

   or: http://192.168.5.1 not 192.168.5.1.

4.  Enter your 2.4 GHz router name or SSID, password, time zone and Daylight Saving Time into the web interface (see figure below), and tap Save.

   

5. Once the setup is complete, disconnect your device from the console WiFi. Otherwise, the console will automatically exit WAP mode.

**NOTE** MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE AC POWER ADAPTER THAT CAME WITH YOUR CONSOLE. THE CONSOLE WILL NOT CONNECT TO WIFI WITHOUT THE POWER ADAPTER BEING USED.

AmbientWeather.net updates once per minute. Your weather station updates faster than that in most cases.

The console takes a snapshot in time and sends the data to AmbientWeather.net.

It is just a snapshot in time. When the minute changes, it sends the data  –  no post processing or additional averaging.

The maximum daily wind gust (Max) as recorded by the display console is also displayed.

To reset the sensor array, press the reset button on the sensor array (#7, Figure below):

To reset the console to factory default, press the RESET button (#19) on the back of the console.

Do not press any buttons for several minutes, until the outdoor sensor is reporting on the console.

1. Make sure the remote sensor is on channel 1. If you have more than one sensor, make sure the sensors are on different channels (#3 in the figure below, Transmitter channel (assign the transmitter to 1,2 or 3, default = 1).
2. Power down and up the remote sensor by removing and reinserting the batteries, or press the RESET button (#2 in the image above). The LED Light (#1) will blink about once per minute. If the LED does not blink immediately after pressing the reset button, there may be a problem with low batteries or the sensor.
3. If the LED does not blink once per minute, replace the batteries with fresh high quality non-rechargeable batteries. We recommend Energizer Lithium Ultimate because of the wide temperature range and the battery chemistry (see article below).  If the problem persists, the sensor will need replacing (last step, below).
4. Make sure that the clock or display console  is showing the appropriate channel. For example, if you have only one sensor (Channel 1), makes sure the console is displaying Channel 1.To change the Channel number on the console, reference the Figure below.    Press the +/CHANNEL button (#7)  to view wireless channels 1, 2 and 3.
5. Place the sensor(s) about 10 feet from the console.  Press the SENSOR button (#13 above). The console will begin searching for sensors. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes to allow for synchronization.
6. If the problem persists, press the RESET button (#15) to perform a factory reset.   The console will begin searching for sensors. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes to allow for synchronization.
7. If the problem persists, the sensor may need replacing. We have a one year warranty. To replace under warranty, please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html
8. For out of warranty replacements, the sensor is available, here:https://www.ambientweather.com/amtx8300.html

If AmbientWeather.net is working fine, but Wunderground.com is not updating, this is usually a typo.

It is easy to confuse the lower case letter l, upper case I and the number 1, as well as the number 0 and the letter O.

Check your Weather Server panel on the display console and type the station ID and Key in again if you have to:

1. Make sure your station ID and password match exactly.
2. If you continue to have issues, email the following to support@ambientweather.com
   1. Your Wunderground sign in email address.
   2. Your Wunderground sign is password.
   3. Your Wunderground Station ID.
   4. Your Wunderground Station Key.
   5. The type of weather station.and will check for any typos.
3. It is possible Wunderground.com is temporarily down.

1. If you are running Vista or greater, right click on the Virtual Weather Station icon on the desktop and select Run as Administrator to grant administrator privileges. This can cause certain features not to work.
2. For all weather stations other than WeatherHawk, download the debug file here and install into the same directory as the previous installation:
   site.ambientweatherstore.com/vws/debug/vws_install.exe
3. For WeatherHawk weather stations, download the debug file here and install into the same director as the previous installation:
   site.ambientweatherstore.com/vws/debug/whawk.exe
   This version includes debugging code that will provide Ambient Weather with the exact line and execution if the software is crashing within Virtual Weather Station.
4. Re-run Virtual Weather Station and if the program crashes again, proceed to Step 5.
5. If you receive the executable error and the ModName = cvi*.dll (any cvi module, for example, cvirte.dll), Virtual Weather Station is crashing then proceed to step (6). If the ModName is not cvi*.dll, if you have not done so already, please contact Ambient Weather by filling out the Problem Report Form. Please include the module name in the form.
6. The debug version includes a full memory lap, requires more memory and runs slower then the normal version. When the program crashes, it will provide you with (1) the filename (usually formatted as main*.c, where * is the build number), (2) line number and (3) column number. Please email this information to support@ambientweather.com.
7. if the ModName is wininet.dll, and you are running Internet Explorer 8 or greater, download the following DLL here
   and place in the same directory as the vws directory where you are running the appliction (usually c:\vws).
8. If the ModName is wininet.dll, reducing the update rate sometimes eliminates the issue. Select Wunderground | Sign Up and Settings, and increase the rapid fire timer from 1 second to 3 seconds or more.

Notes

1. One customer identified crashing on Windows7 when pure networks platform service was installed. Removing it eliminated the crashes.

   It is a program to assist you in setting up your home network for things such as printer sharing. If you do not know where it came from, it is often bundled in with routers from dlink and other companies.

   If you are asking if you can/should remove it from your computer and startup then the answer would be yes if you have no plans to use it.

2. DEP. Virtual Weather Station Crashes under Windows 2003, or Windows Server 2008, 2012 when internet functions are performed, like ftp or jpeg file creation.

   Add Virtual Weather Station to the list of exceptions to DEP (Data Execution Prevention).

   For the purposes of program compatibility, you can selectively disable DEP for VWS.EXE when DEP is set to the OptOut policy level. To do this, use the Data Execution Prevention tab in System Properties to selectively disable DEP for a program.

   For IT professionals, a new program compatibility fix that is named DisableNX is included with Windows XP SP2. The DisableNX compatibility fix disables Data Execution Prevention for the program that the fix is applied to.

   If you are logged on as an administrator, you can manually configure DEP to switch between the OptIn and OptOut policies by using the Data Execution Prevention tab in System Properties. The following procedure describes how to manually configure DEP on the computer:

   1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
   2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
   3. On the Data Execution Prevention tab, use one of the following procedures:
   • Click Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only to select the OptIn policy.
   • Click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select to select the OptOut policy, and then click Add to add the programs that you do not want to use the DEP feature.
   4. Click OK two times.

Example 1: Connect to the console Wi-Fi server with a PC. Choose Wi-Fi network settings from Windows(or search “Change Wi-Fi Settings” from Windows), and Connect to the PWS-Wi-Fi network, as shown in Figure below(your Wi-Fi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with PWS-)

Example 2: Connect to the console Wi-Fi server with a Mac. Choose the Settings icon and Network. Connect to the PWS-Wi-Fi network, as shown in Figure Below(your Wi-Fi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with PWS-).

Example 3: Connect to the console Wi-Fi server with an iPhone or iPad. Choose the Settings icon and Wi-Fi . Connect to the PWS-Wi-Fi network, as shown below(your Wi-Fi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with PWS-).

Example 4: Connect to the console’s Wi-Fi server with an Android. From the Apps icon, choose the Settings icon and Wi-Fi. Connect to the PWS-Wi-Fi network, as shown in the Figure Below(your Wi-Fi network name may be slightly different, but will always begin with PWS-).

Once connected, enter the following IP address into any browser’s address bar to access the console’s web interface:

http://192.168.1.1

Note: Some browsers will treat 192.168.1.1 as a search, so make sure you include the header http://, or: http://192.168.1.1 not 192.168.1.1

3. Enter the following information:

Enter the following information into the web interface (Figure Below). This model does not display sunrise and sunset, and therefore, there is no need to enter longitude and latitude.

WS-8482: How to reset the Console and Sensor:

To reset the TX-3110B Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer sensor please follow the steps below:

1.The WS-8482 supports seven wireless channels. If you have one sensor, leave the transmitter channel at Channel 1. If you have more than one sensor, set the appropriate channel, then power down and up the sensor (by removing and reinserting batteries).

2.Remove the batteries then check the terminals for any corrosion. Clean if dirty. Reinsert fresh lithium batteries, then press the RESET button (#4 in the image above). The LED Light (#1) will blink about once per minute. If the LED does not blink immediately after pressing the reset button, there may be a problem with low batteries or the sensor.

3. If the LED does not blink once per minute, replace the batteries with fresh high quality non-rechargeable batteries. We recommend Energizer Lithium Ultimate because of the wide temperature range and the battery chemistry (see article below). If the problem persists, the sensor will need replacing.

4.Make sure that the display console is showing the appropriate channel. For example, if you have only one sensor (Channel 1), makes sure the console is displaying Channel 1. To change the Channel number on the console, reference the Figure below (#3):

To Reset the WS-8482 console please follow the steps below:

1. Press the reset button (#15 in the image below) , on the back of the console, for 5 seconds.

The internet corrected time can be off by one hour even if the time zone and Daylight Savings Time (DST) is entered correctly due to a bug in the firmware.

If AC power is cycled with the back up battery installed (normal conditions), the clock will be off by one hour during Daylight Savings Time.

1. To correct this, as a workaround, add +1 to your time zone. For example, if you live in the Eastern Time Zone, your time zone is normally set to -05. Set to -04 temporarily during DST.
2. Press the RESET button on the back of the display console. You will be required to re-enter all of the settings again.

Your pool has a significant temperature gradient as a function of depth, particularly when the pool is exposed to direct sunlight. The pool temperature tends to decrease as a function of depth.

To test the accuracy of the sensor, remove it from the pool and set the floating pool and spa thermometer next to the display console. Allow it to stabilize for a couple of hours.

If you are comparing this temperature to another thermometer in your pool, you can place this thermometer next to the floating pool and spa thermometer as well.

The indoor and outdoor temperature should agree within the specified accuracy, +/- 2 degF.

If the sensor is out of specification, we have  a one year warranty. To replace under warranty, please visit: www.AmbientWeather.com/rma.html

If out of warranty, the floating pool and spa thermometer can be replaced here:
