osprey sensor array
The Osprey Sensor Array

The wireless sensor array connects to the console via RF (915 MHz) up to 330 feet line of sight in open air (100 feet under most conditions). The wireless signal will not pass through solid metal, earth, or ground. The sensor array's primary power source is a solar panel which charges the super capacitor, with optional battery backup (batteries not included).

The sensor array mounts to any pole between 1.25 and 2" diameter with adaptive mounting bracket and U-Bolt design that can be tightened to your mounting pole (not included).

Important Notes and Specifications:

Requires an iPhone, iPad, or Android device to program through the AmbientTool application (available in the Apple App Store or Google Play).

The new WS-2902D has all the same functionality as the WS-2902C but now with an easier setup.

Optional Sensors (sold separately)

The WS-2902 supports up to 8 thermo-hygrometers and 2 air quality sensors (1 indoor and 1 outdoor).

    Versatile Weather Station Does It All

    Versatile Weather Station Does It All
    I have a lot of fruit trees in my backyard plus a rose and lavender garden. Wanted to keep on top of local weather conditions so if needed I could protect my plantings from cold etc...I decided to go with Ambient Weather's WS-2902D. It includes a temperature module, anemometer, wind direction, wind speed and rain gauge. The most time consuming part of installation was the mount itself. The instruction for mounting the weather station to the top of a mast are well described and a simple job of attaching the U Bolts with screws and using the bubble level (built in to the top of the unit) to keep the device level. You must make sure that the arrow embedded on top of the hard plastic of the unit is pointed exactly to the north. Double check that. I used a compass app on my phone. Worked great. I chose to mount my station on 1.5" PVC pipe. Yes, they recommend steel but go out and try to price that! Ridiculous. The weather station accepts 1.25-2 inch pipe. My 5 foot section was installed on a deck support with the help of an antenna mounting kit purchased on Amazon. Hard steel and strong U Bolts. That thing is screwed in for life. The only drawback with PVC is the wind. This can cause movement of the station affecting readings. I am a ham radio operator and used identical 1/8" black rope (parachute like cord) that i have hanging a wire dipole between 2 trees on my property. For the weather station I made 3 guy rope supporting lengths that you can see in the picture. There are two in this picture. I put in the 3rd down at ground level a few days later. Now, there is no and i mean NO movement of the pole with high wind gusts. The height of the deck plus the pvc tubing puts the weather station at 18 feet above the ground. There are two caveats: Make your weather station accessible. You have to clean out the rain gauge apparatus every couple of months plus swap out batteries; so you do not want to kill yourself dangling off of a ladder. BTW, the unit is powered with a solar cell built into the top part of the station. Batteries are used when there is insufficient daylight. The weather station immediately connected with the base unit. I have the console sitting on my home office desk. Connecting the unit to wifi and weather underground, weather cloud and the Ambient site take time but well worth it in the end. I periodically check other units in my neck of the woods on the Ambient website. The console display is well laid out and easy to see all parameters. It is pretty intuitive trying to figure out what button does what but it is a good idea to read through all the instructions. The display also shows, UV light, light, phases of the moon, indoor temp and humidity, outdoor temp and humidity, rain amounts, wind speed and direction, date, time. There are signal strength connecting bars (mine have a solid 5) that show the quality of the connection between the station outside and your console. These are located about half way across the top. There is your typical wifi connection strength indicator at the top right of the display. I am quite satisfied with the entire system. It does it all. The only thing it doesn't do is pour me a nice glass of port at dinner time!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great weather station at a good price
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021
    I had been looking for a home weather station for years and finally decided to pull the trigger. Mainly because I had the perfect poll for it that had been sitting under out carport for years and my wife threated to get rid of it with the next bulk trash pickup. Use it or lose it, so I put it to use.

    If you are looking for a great weather station at great price this is the perfect unit. This station has all the basics you would want and more. Rain gage that measures not only the amount of rain but hourly rain fall as well as 24 hour rain fall, weekly, monthly and rain event totals. The unit has a wind vain and anemometer for wind direction and speed, of course. It also has temperature with heat index and wind chill. We have a pool so I love that the unit measures UV index and Solar Radiation.

    Assembly: Not too difficult. Everything goes together pretty easy if you have a basic knowledge of putting things together. If you don't then call your kids or grandkids to come do it for you. Directions are rather long and wordy and at times seem out of order. It also has a few steps for optional equipment that does not some with this particular unit. Dug through the box looking for those things before realizing they were optional. The wind vain and anemometer cups slip on and you just need a small screw driver to tighten them down. Rain gauge twist into place and the wire filter pushes right in. The unit runs on solar power but uses two AA batteries as a backup. Took me a minute to figure out how to get the cover to slide off, I never want to push too hard and break something.

    The biggest issue you will have is how and where to mount the unit. I have a large yard and a garden framed with rail road ties out around 100 feet away from the house. I also had an old pipe with tripod feet that use to be on our roof with our internet dish that I was able to mount the unit too. I was able to bold the stand to the railroad ties so it is not going anywhere. The u-joints that came with the unit securely mounted the unit to the pole I had and was fairly simple. The thing to remember is mouth it facing north, which I was easily able to do using the compass on my iPhone and the arrow on top of the unit. And do not forget to check the level of the unit. It has a level dot on top. I thought I was done, but then noticed that and spend another 30 minutes trying to adjust the base and the u-joint and pole screws to try and get it perfect… then just got mad and bent the pole and BAM… unit level.

    It took the unit a few minutes to find the indoor unit. I had to then move it around to find the best spot for reception. I have tried moving it all over the house and the base has a tough time reading the station if you move it too far away or there are too many walls between the station and the base. I have it setting on one of my wife’s tables by a back window within eyesight of the weather station. It gets five bars there and is working great, however my wife thinks it clashes with the aesthetic of the table… can’t win them all.

    Pros: Within a few hours of setting the unit up we had a big rain event. Unit worked great. We got over 3 inches of rain over night. With wind and rain unit held firmly in place. Display is easy to read. Also easy to setup and create accounts on Ambientweather.net and other weather apps that let me check out the weather conditions at my home wherever I am.

    Cons: Not many major ones. Set unit DST (Daylight savings time) thinking it would automatically spring forward and fall back with time change, but instead it would randomly spring forward an hour. Once I turned DST off the clock has kept the correct time.

    I could see if you have a small yard, or are in an area where the house are close together, or have a lot of trees, you may have a hard time finding a clear, unobstructed, spot to mount the unit. Also, if you do not have an existing pole to mount the unit to you could spend as much on the poll and hardware as you spend on the station itself.

    As for the unit itself the wind gauge does not look to read over 99.9 mph. I live on the Texas coast, took a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey in 2017, so that is a possibility where I live. While the unit might not display wind speed that high it may still read that and post it on the Ambientweather.net site.

    Lastly, If you are not computer or tech savvy then have your kids, grandkids, or someone under the age of 25 come over and help you with that part of the set up. I had an issue connecting it to our WiFi trying to follow the directions, and my son took it and without even looking at the directions had it connected in about 30 seconds.

    Overall great weather station for a great price.
