Ambient WS-5000 Backyard Weather Station, set up, installation, and my opinion. Wireless & Accurate.

This is my review of the Ambient Weather WS-5000
Backyard Weather Station with the Lightning Detector and supported by the Weather Station Mounting Tripod and Mast.

The Mast and Tri-Pod height is 53 inches.
I recommend at least one more mast extension pole which would add 31 inches.

If you mount this to your roof or home, you'll want to check in with your code enforcement authority, you may need grounding and more.

This is my third backyard weather station and is my favorite thus far.

The unit, after linking to your household wi-fi, will automatically update the date and time.

You can access all data on your computer, or phone, with the Ambient Weather App.

You do not have to share your weather data with the underground network, but you have that option.

You will know when your batteries are getting low. None of my other systems offered that, I just kept them refreshed.

In this video, the unit was less than 100 feet from the display and was at full reception power.

The indoor sensor display in this video was placed on another floor, and 32 feet from the display. Received full-strength signals.

I briefly mentioned the sensor that comes with a probe - The probe is waterproof and provides temperature readings of soil, water, or anywhere else you want to know the temperature. It's not a moisture meter.

Do you have questions about different anemometer designs? This link should provide better explanations. I have a hot-wire anemometer that I use for bee-hive air flow speed readings, it's portable and pricey. I wanted this system because I like the Ultrasonic Anemometer, which is reading better than mechanical propeller designs. I'm a fan of ultrasonics for a variety of measurements, including liquid flow rate detection, material thickness inspections, and even defect identification. It makes sense to use ultrasonics to measure wind speed.
