Product Description
The Ambient WS-1090 is a compact, easy to install complete wireless (915 MHz) home weather station with impressive reliability at a very low cost.
The WS-1080 weather station measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity (both 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 easy-to-read format on a large 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 PC software (free PC web publishing software available, including Wunderground hosting services).
The sensor suite is integrated, with 8 foot interconnecting cables between the anemometer, rain gauge and wireless thermo-hygrometer-transmitter.

Outdoor temperature range: -40°F to +149°F
Indoor temperature range: 32°F to +122°F

If you want to learn how to operate a home weather station, you should buy this one before moving up to more expensive systems.
The unit comes with a very small solar radiation shield. However, in most circumstances, you will need to do one of the following to have more accurate temperature readings: (1) buy the SRS100 or SRS100LX solar radiation shield (the LX has two more middle plates). (2) move the thermometer unit to a shaded area (you may need to buy an extension cable if the shaded area is far away; manufacturer says that maximum is 50 feet).
I suggest mounting the thermometer on a separate location unless your mounting pole is very stable. In strong wind conditions, vibration of the pole can cause inaccurate reading of wind speed, direction, and rain fall (which may mistake vibration for wind fall). Obviously, reducing the amount of weight attached to one pole can minimize vibrations.
I connect an old netbook to the weather station and publish data to Weather Underground. It is a cheaper solution than buying the overpriced IP Ethernet server from Ambient Weather.
WS-1090 uses Cumulus software to publish to internet. Virtual Weather Station software is not supported (VWS mainly support Davis, Oregon Scientific, and La Crosse products)
Lithium batteries are recommended if outdoor temperatures drop below 30F.
A color version of the manual can be found at:
[...]
Some useful tips for beginners:
(1) to have accurate wind reading, a rule of thumb is that the minimum distance between the wind vane and the nearest building/obstruction should be 4 times the height of the building/obstruction.
(2) Anemometer measures the wind speed. Wind vane measures the wind direction. Hygrometer measures humidity.

I read quite a few reviews of different weather stations at various price points. I was concerned about the display pad being able to receive the signal from the sensors. The sensors are mounted on my roof and the display is mounted in my living room through a floor and several walls. At this point there have been no issues and all the parameters are coming through perfectly. I will update this review if anything changes but at this point the system works exactly as advertised including the atomic clock.

The weather station was easy to assemble and all components worked properly. The unit is probably not accurate enough for some people, but it is a fun upgrade for the manual rain gauge and indoor/outdoor thermometer folks like me. If you need real accuracy then spend more money!
Mounting instructions were a little vague, but basic hardware skills are all you need. I put mine on an 6 foot PVC poll in my backyard about 30 feet from the house. The unit has lost the signal from the remote once or twice, but it picks it up again in a few minutes.
The computer USB interface works properly, and downloading the history data is easy. Getting that data into a spreadsheet or database will require some computer experience.
All in all it is a fun device at a reasonable price.
