Item Description
The Ambient WS-1090 is a compact, effortless to install total wireless (915 MHz) dwelling weather station with impressive reliability at a rather low price. The WS-1080 climate station measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity (each inside and outside), rainfall and barometric pressure, and calculates dew point and wind chill. The weather station's touch screen console displays a wide range of parameters in an simple-to-read format on a substantial LCD. The attractively thin console can be placed on a desktop or mounted to a wall. The console archives 4080 historical records and can be reviewed with a touch of the back lit console. Includes a USB port and EasyWeather Computer computer software (zero cost Pc web publishing computer software obtainable, which includes Wunderground hosting services). The sensor suite is integrated, with 8 foot interconnecting cables amongst the anemometer, rain gauge and wireless thermo-hygrometer-transmitter.

Buyer Critiques
If you want to learn how to operate a home climate station, you ought to buy this 1 just before moving up to far more expensive systems.
The unit comes with a particularly smaller solar radiation shield. On the other hand, in most circumstances, you will have to have to do 1 of the following to have extra accurate temperature readings: (1) order the SRS100 or SRS100LX solar radiation shield (the LX has two extra middle plates). (2) move the thermometer unit to a shaded area (you might need to have to purchase an extension cable if the shaded area is far away manufacturer says that maximum is 50 feet).
I recommend mounting the thermometer on a separate location unless your mounting pole is fairly stable. In powerful wind circumstances, vibration of the pole can cause inaccurate reading of wind speed, direction, and rain fall (which might mistake vibration for wind fall). Definitely, lowering the amount of weight attached to 1 pole can decrease vibrations.
I connect an old netbook to the climate station and publish information to Climate Underground. It is a more affordable solution than obtaining the overpriced IP Ethernet server from Ambient Climate.
WS-1090 uses Cumulus software program to publish to web. Virtual Weather Station computer software is not supported (VWS primarily help Davis, Oregon Scientific, and La Crosse goods)
Lithium batteries are recommended if outdoor temperatures drop below 30F.

Some helpful hints for newbies:
(1) to have precise wind reading, a rule of thumb is that the minimum distance among the wind vane and the nearest constructing/obstruction must be 4 occasions the height of the constructing/obstruction.
(two) Anemometer measures the wind speed. Wind vane measures the wind direction. Hygrometer measures humidity.
The climate station was hassle-free to assemble and all elements worked properly. The unit is in all probability not accurate enough for some consumers, but it is a entertaining upgrade for the manual rain gauge and indoor/outdoor thermometer people like me. If you need true accuracy then spend extra funds!
Mounting directions were a tiny vague, but standard hardware expertise are all you have to have. I put mine on an six foot PVC poll in my backyard about 30 feet from the property. The unit has lost the signal from the remote when or twice, but it picks it up again in a few minutes.
The laptop USB interface operates properly, and downloading the history data is uncomplicated. Receiving that information into a spreadsheet or database will demand some pc expertise.
All in all it is a entertaining device at a reasonable price tag.
