What to do if Ambient Weather Station remote is not reporting to console?
The maximum communication range is 300 feet in line of sight. Try moving the sensor closer to the console, or if it's too close (less than 10 feet), move it further away. You can also try cycling power on the console, installing fresh batteries (lithium for cold weather), ensuring the sensor isn't transmitting through metal or earth, moving the console away from electronic devices, and raising the sensor's location. Radio Frequency Sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers or multiple, thick walls.
What to do if my Ambient Weather Station rain gauge reports rain when it is not raining?
If your rain gauge reports rain when it's not raining, it might be due to an unstable mounting. Ensure you have a stable mounting solution. Try moving the rain gauge from the pole mount to a flat, stable surface.
Why does the Ambient Weather Station temperature sensor read too high during the daytime?
In hot weather, the rain guard and solar shield might not be effective enough. Consider using a radiation shield.
What to do if Ambient Weather Station rain gauge reports rain when it is not raining?
To prevent false rain reports on your Ambient Weather Station, ensure the rain gauge is mounted on a stable surface. If it's currently on a pole, move it to a flat, stable structure to avoid any sway that could incorrectly increment rainfall.
What to do if software does not recognize Ambient Weather Station?
Make sure the USB cable is properly connected and recognized by your computer. If it's not recognized, try using a different USB port. Avoid using USB hubs.
Why is the Ambient Weather Station forecast icon not accurate?
The weather station console needs to run for several days to properly trend barometric pressure. Keep in mind that the weather forecast provided is an estimation of changes in the next 24 to 48 hours and can vary. The forecast is a tool for projecting weather conditions and should not be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
What does it mean when the Ambient Weather Station humidity reads – instead of a value?
If the humidity falls outside the measurement range (10 to 99%), the display will show “—“ instead of a value.
Why do the indoor and outdoor humidity readings on my Ambient Weather Station not agree?
Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors should agree within 10 %, given the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %.
Why is the forecast icon on my Ambient Weather Station not accurate?
The weather station console needs to run for several days to trend barometric pressure. The weather forecast is an estimation of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours and varies by location. It should not be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.
