Home weather station suggestions

[Spike56]

Does anybody know where or how to enter in Wunderground's weather station ID and Key into an Ambient Weather Ws2000?

My old WS1000 was super easy to set up and this new one is baffling because I see nowhere to set it up on the weather station.

EDIT: One must first go to https://ambientweather.net/welcome and set up an account, and THEN on that site enter in the ID and Key to connect to (in my case) Wunderground.


Also, in other news: after taking my old WS1000 down and replacing it with the new station, i was able to clean up the battery compartment and fire it back up.

Hi Eric,
I WISH I could help, but NO. I have the 2902 series and it was a nightmare to get connected. Think years ago I finally did it, but then at some point it stopped working.
Just sticking with the Ambient network now so I can pull the data up on my phone screen. Good Luck.

I just replaced my kind of flakey WS1900 indoor unit with a 2902 (kept the old outdoor sensor unit). This one allegedly has wifi, but I can't seem to connect to it. According to the manual, it should appear as it's own network with an IP address of 192.168.4.1, which I can't see on any PC I tried. We rarely use wifi for anything other than a tablet my wife has for work, but even on a laptop on the wifi it didn't show up, nor could I ping it. Tried setting a static IP in the laptop in the .4 subnet (house network is .88), still nothing. Is there a trick to this? I am moderately competent in IT matters, makes me wonder why they didn't set these units to DHCP...would make it easier to find.
It works fine otherwise.

As I mentioned upthread, I have no interest in sending weather data anywhere, was just curious about a built-in feature.
