AmbientTool Upgrade Program Services
The AmbientTool app allows you to connect your Ambient Weather WS-2902 Weather Station Console, sold from December 2016 - May 2018, to your Wi-Fi router and the internet. If your WS-2902 Console disconnects from Wi-Fi for any reason and needs to be reconnected after the app discontinuation date, you will no longer be able to reconnect your console to the Ambient Weather Network (AWN). To maintain a connection to AWN, you will need to upgrade to the Ambient Weather WS-2902D Console. Ambient Weather is offering a discount for those affected by this app discontinuation. You will be eligible for a $35 console rebate for a limited time.
For details on the app discontinuation and claiming your upgrade program rebate, please see below.
Who is affected?
Anyone who owns a WS-2902 Station Console. This does NOT include WS-2902A, WS-2902B, or WS-2902C Weather Station Consoles. These consoles utilize the Awnet App for the setup process. Moving forward, the WS-2902D will no longer require an app for internet connectivity, allowing users to connect using an internet browser.
What will happen if I don`t update my console?
If you own one of the affected consoles, it will continue to work until you have to update any Wi-Fi settings; this may include a firmware update or if your console requires a reset. Once the AmbientTool App is sunset and you need to perform one of the above activities, your console will still showcase your weather station readings. However, the console will stop reporting your personal weather station dashboard to AWN, including data collection and tracking.
Can I keep both consoles?
Yes! Many customers keep their WS-2902 Console to use in their office, bedroom, living room, or den. Our weather stations can support an unlimited number of consoles. Only one console is required to report to the Ambient Weather Network.
