Product description

A complete weather station right at home!

The Ambient Weather WS-5000 Ultrasonic Smart Weather Station is the most sophisticated home and light industrial weather station we have ever created. Our smart wind meter has no moving parts to wear out and includes a revolutionary ultrasonic anemometer that is more sensitive to changes in wind speed and direction and transmits faster than traditional wind cup designs. The extra-large rain cup ensures better accuracy. Since the sensor is wireless, it can be placed close to the ground, and the removable lid makes for easy service and maintenance.

Ultrasonic Sensor Array

The wireless sensor array features a pagoda thermo-hygrometer radiation shield with passive aspiration for the upmost accuracy, a bubble level for plumb installation, and a solar panel. It connects to the console via RF (915 MHz) up to 1000 feet line of sight in open air (300 feet under most conditions). The wireless signal will not pass through solid metal, earth, or ground. 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).

The Indoor Thermo-Hygrometer-Barometer

The WH32B indoor sensor will monitor temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. One sensor is included with the WS-5000 weather station system.

Connect to AWN

Forge connections within the weather enthusiast community by seamlessly linking your Ambient Weather station to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN).

Responsive Design

Customize your personal weather dashboard, organize your tiles with the measurements you prioritize, and label your sensors.

Weather on the Go

Open the app and you will see an interactive map of weather stations, cameras, and map layers that provide a hyper-local view of current conditions.

Extensive Data & Alerts

Set up email or text alerts for high and low conditions for every parameter; send multiple alerts, and view all past alerts in a handy timeline.

From Virtual Assistants to Weather Networks

Includes the Ambient Weather skill for Alexa and Google Assistant The AmbientWeather server features a handy timeline for tracking IFTTTConnect to Weather Underground, WeatherCloud, and WeatherBugDevelopers can retrieve your own real-time and historical personal weather station JSON formatted data STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)

The WS-5000 is STEM authenticated, and helps provide a hands-on, practical approach to learning about meteorology and enables students to connect the dots between the science they study and the weather they experience in their own backyards.

 Ambient Weather WS-5000 Ultrasonic Smart Weather Station: Professional-Grade Hyperlocal Data

Bring professional-level weather monitoring to your backyard with the Ambient Weather WS-5000. This advanced station utilizes an ultrasonic sensor array with no moving parts to deliver highly accurate, real-time data on wind, rain, temperature, and more, all while connecting seamlessly to smart home systems and global weather networks.

🌟 Key Features:

🌬️ Ultrasonic Wind Sensor (No Moving Parts)

The core innovation is its ultrasonic anemometer, which uses sound waves to measure wind speed and direction. This design eliminates traditional cups and vanes, aiming for faster response times, higher accuracy, and zero mechanical wear.

📡 All-in-One Outdoor Sensor Array

The wireless outdoor array integrates sensors for wind, rain, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and UV index into a single unit. It transmits data via RF (915 MHz) up to 1000 ft line of sight to the console.

📊 High-Resolution Color Console & App

Features a vibrant 7.5″ TFT full-color LCD display (800×480 pixels). Connect to WiFi to sync data with the Ambient Weather Network (AWN) app for remote monitoring, customizable dashboards, and detailed historical graphs.

🏠 Smart Home & Ecosystem Integration

Fully compatible with IFTTT, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. You can create custom automations (e.g., “close smart blinds if UV is high”) and set email/text alerts for specific weather conditions.

🌐 Connect to Global Weather Networks

Optionally share your hyperlocal data with major networks like Weather Underground, WeatherCloud, and WeatherBug, contributing to community-based weather tracking.

🔬 STEM Authenticated for Education

Certified as a STEM educational tool, allowing students and enthusiasts to engage in hands-on meteorology and data analysis.

📌 Ideal For:

Weather enthusiasts, amateur meteorologists, homeowners with smart home systems, educators, and anyone seeking the most accurate and technologically advanced personal weather station available.

⚠️ Important Setup & Usage Notes:

· Optimal Installation is Critical: For accurate wind readings, the sensor array must be mounted on a sturdy pole, 5-7 feet above any obstructions (like rooftops), and perfectly level using the built-in bubble level.

· Power Requirements: The outdoor array is solar-powered but requires 2 AA batteries (not included) for backup. The console uses an included AC adapter.

· Wi-Fi for Full Features: While the console displays core data locally, Wi-Fi connection is required for app access, smart home features, and data sharing.

· Expandable System: You can add numerous optional sensors (sold separately) for soil moisture, lightning detection, air quality, and more.
