What can the WS-5000 do?

Unboxing a WS-5000.

TFT Full Color LCD Display

Our sleek desktop display is freestanding or can be mounted on a wall. This vibrant, dynamic LCD display is easy to read day or night, features a light or dark colored background, and automatically controlled brightness settings based on time of day. Connect additional displays (sold separately).

Measured parameters combine with calculated data:

  • 'Feels Like' Temperature (Wind Chill and Heat Index)
  • Dew Point
  • Gust (the maximum wind speed sampled once per second in the 16 second update period)
  • 10 Minute Wind Speed and Direction Average
  • Sunrise, Sunset, Moon Phase
  • Forecast
  • And more!

The WS-5000 also displays minimum and maximum conditions with time and date stamp, historical archived data, which can be exported to SD Card (optional, not included) for advanced data analysis in Excel. The SD Card is also used for firmware updates.

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).

Extra Large Rain Cup

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.

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.

  • COMPLETE WEATHER STATION: (1) Ultrasonic Sensor Array, (1) Rain Cup, (1) Indoor Thermo-hygrometer-barometer, and (1) TFT Full Color LCD Display
  • ALL-IN-ONE SENSOR ARRAY: No moving parts, fast and easy set-up, and real-time updates to weather conditions every five seconds.
  • SMART HOME READY: Set up alerts, access your data remotely, and program your home based on weather conditions using IFTT, Google Home, Alexa, and more
  • ENHANCED WIFI: Enables your station to transmit its data wirelessly to the world's largest personal weather station network (optional setting)
  • JOIN THE COMMUNITY: Connect to Ambient Weather Network [hyperlink if allowed: https://ambientweather.com/real-time-weather-data] to customize your dashboard tiles, share hyperlocal weather conditions via social feeds and create your own forecasts (coming soon).

Optional Sensors supported by the display console and Ambient Weather Network:

  • 8-channel indoor-outdoor thermo-hygrometer (Item No: WH31E)
  • 8-channel water-proof probe (WH31P
  • 4-channel soil moisture sensor (WH31SM)
  • 2-channel air quality sensor (PM25 and PM25IN)
  • Lightning detector (WH31L)
  • 4-channel leak detector (WH31LA)

TechHive Editors Choice

Rated as the "Best home weather station platform" by TechHive

Ambient Weather does the best job of designing and manufacturing a home weather station that can be incorporated into a smart home. The WS-5000 impressed us with its easy setup, accurate reporting, and support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. We also like its app and its color console. It’s a big step up in price compared to Ambient Weather’s WS-2902, which is still available, but you’ll find the investment to be justified.
