AmbientTool

Had the Ambient Weather WA-2902b for 2.5 years and stayed synced to WiFi with no problems. We recently switched routers and it is literally impossible to connect without reverting back to iOS 10 or earlier. App is SO out of date and must be used to set up the weather station connectivity that you lose functionality. Hardware still connects to the display but remote viewing is never going to happen again. The app will also not allow you to change the SSID of the router. It defaults to “WiFi” and is uneditable, so you’ll never connect to WiFi.

Loved this app and my weather station......at first. Now it seems that instead of fixing a problem for us that have the original they just simply want us to buy a new weather station and use the new app. Not cool or good service in my mind. The weather station still works great just will no longer hook to my WiFi. Really wish they would fix this!!

I now have two of the Ambient Weather stations, and they are great. When I got my second station set up it took me only about 5 minutes to connect to the app. As I discovered on the first station, it’s important to turn off the 5ghz radio on you router while your connecting the station to WiFi. Once it’s setup you can turn the 5ghz radio back on. The instructions do tell you this, but somehow I missed it on the first setup. Second time was a piece of cake!
