Love it. when used with weatherunderground, the station can be accessed anywhere. I have had the unit since November of 2013, and would choose this product again rather than the other brands out there. It's a great station for the money. It's a great way to dip your toes into the world of the home weather stations without a large investment. From a reviewer i found helpful From Paul... I'm a weather nerd. I've had several home weather stations over the years, some were better than others. Davis' stations are the best on the market, but they are expensive. You can have four complete WS-2080's for the price of the least-expensive Davis w/ the appropriate data-connect module. The Davis machines are definitely superior in accuracy & build quality and are (I believe) made in the US. All great things, and if you're very serious about home weather then Davis is the way to go. But if you're looking for a decent home weather station that has PC/Mac + Internet capabilities for a low price, the WS-2080 is an excellent choice. I've had mine up and running for over a year now, with no problems. I've had no problems with the sensor range; my base is sitting about 75' away from the outside sensor, through 1 exterior (with a few windows) and 3 interior (no windows) walls. No connection problems at all. Unlike some of the other low-cost home weather stations, I've not had any problems with erroneous data. It's clean. With a previous station I'd get frequent erroneous 57mph wind gusts when it rained, despite my best efforts of sealing & ferrite-choking the cables. A few caveats: 1) Use good lithium batteries in the outside sensor unit. It takes two AA's. Yes, lithium's are 2-3 times as expensive as alkalines. But lithium batteries will last much longer than standard alkalines, and they are much better in the cold. I live in the midwest, and I'm still on the first pair of AA lithiums from over a year ago, and they went through a brutally cold winter without any complaints. Alkalines are fine for the base. My station's connected to a PC, so it is powered via the USB connection anyway. 2) Build quality of the sensors is very low. The sensors work well and are decently accurate, but it's all made with the cheapest plastic. Don't drop any of the parts, they will break. Be *very* careful of the wind cups. I recently moved, and in moving I managed to accidentally tap the wind vane on my garage ceiling. Barely grazed it. One of the struts that supports the cups immediately snapped. The cup itself had the integrity of an egg shell; easily crushed by thumb & forefinger. Very brittle. I'm not sure if this is how it was when new, or the result of a year's worth of exposure to the elements. Luckily AmbientWeather sells replacement parts, so I'm just out a few bucks. 3) Buy the better radiation shield that Ambient Weather recommends. The station comes with a small shield, but it's woefully insufficient. Using the included one, my station would get temps 15+ degrees (F) above ambient in direct sunlight. Using AmbientWeather's suggested shield, temperatures are now unaffected by direct sunlight, just as it should be. If you are placing the thermometer/hygrometer sensor somewhere always shaded, then you'd be fine with the included shield. But if the sensor ever receives direct sunlight (not just during the day, but any day of the year too...), buy the better shield. 4) The wind & rain sensors must level to work properly. You absolutely must pay special attention to level the rain sensor. Must. The rain gauge in this (and most other) station works like a see-saw. As water pours through it, two little buckets tip back and forth inside the housing. As they rock, the sensor records that motion as amounts of water. If the housing isn't level, the buckets won't rock properly and the gauge won't work. Take the time to make sure it's level when you install the station. If the price were higher, I'd knock off a star for the build quality. But as it is, it's a decent station for the money. It's a great way to dip your toes into the world of the home weather stations without a large investment. Review: Perfect Home Weather Station - To be clear, I rate this a 4.5/5. It's been an entire year since I purchased this station which allows me to make a complete review. First of all, reading other reviews I feel lucky that mine hasn't failed. The installation was very straight forward and I had it mounted in no time. Installed the software and configured my station as needed. Because I planned on uploading my data to Wunderground, I installed the free software Cumulus and data was online in minutes following the instructions. My station is mounted about 20ft off the ground and around 100ft from the receiver (through 2 walls) and the signal is rarely lost even in a blizzard. From the actual data perspective, I couldn't be more pleased. Yes, this is a somewhat cheap model compared to many other stations out there, but it stands toe to toe. I live in the Midwest area and you can bet our weather is anything but ordinary. This station in its first year has been through temps of 100ºF down to -20ºF (-50ºF wind chill) and has worked flawlessly. You MUST purchase a set of very good batteries to maintain your station working (I recommend Energizer Advanced Lithium). If you want to avoid spikes in temperature reading due to direct sunlight, place the sensor in a shady area (facing north) or purchase the larger solar shield. To obtain accurate wind speeds, make sure you place the station away from very tall objects (trees, homes, etc.) or place them higher up. The rain gauge is OK. For light to moderate rain, the sensor works perfectly and is off by less than 5% when compared to a physical rain gauge. When experiencing torrential rainfall the error can be up to 50% due to the rain drops bouncing off the plastic from the gauge and not landing inside. However it's still very good in collecting data. This station has few problems that should be noted. As many people have probably already said, the receiver sometimes loses connection to the computer when connected via USB. This happens around once a month or so. The station itself is still sending out data and the receiver is collecting it and showing it fine, however it doesn't get sent to computer. The only fix is to disconnect USB from computer and take out the batteries of receiver and reinsert (calibrate as necessary). While this takes seconds to do, it can become annoying when your station is stuck sending same data for hours on Wunderground if not caught in time. Another thing is the update interval of 48 seconds. While this isn't an issue for most of the sensors, I've found that my wind speeds are lower than what they actually are. Sometimes if there's a very strong gust between intervals it isn't recorded and it's like it never happened. This is the most annoying part for me as wind speed is one of the top things I wanted to work. Through one of the coldest/snowiest winters our area has seen in decades, I'm glad I had this weather station to record data. It was well worth the cost and it can't be beat for the price. However, this station is no longer being produced (although it can come back if there's a strong demand). ## Features - The Ambient Weather WS-2080 is a compact, easy to install complete weather station with impressive reliability at a very low cost. - This weather station measures wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity (both inside and outside), rainfall and barometric pressure. - The console of the weather station 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. - Includes a USB port and EasyWeather PC software, a simple to use windows application that allows real time monitoring. It can be used to progam weather station parameters and alarms. You can also log data . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003OSJ08S | | Additional Features | Alarm | | Are batteries included? | No | | Brand | Ambient Weather | | Brand Name | Ambient Weather | | Color | Silver | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 582 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Finish Type | Glossy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00857450002029 | | Included Components | Receiver, Thermo-Hydro Transmitter, Wind Speed Sensor, Wind Direction Sensor, Rain Sensor | | Manufacturer | Ambient Weather | | Material | Glass, Plastic | | Material Type | Glass, Plastic | | Model | WS-2080 | | Part Number | WS-2080 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Sensor Technology | Wireless | | Shape | Rectangular | | Special Feature | Alarm | | Style | Compact | | Style Name | Compact | | UPC | 857450002029 | | Upper Temperature Range | 149 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Warranty Description | One year parts and labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ambient Weather - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Alarm - **Material:** Glass, Plastic - **Connectivity Technology:** Usb - **Style:** Compact - **Finish Type:** Glossy - **Color:** Silver - **Included Components:** Receiver, Thermo-Hydro Transmitter, Wind Speed Sensor, Wind Direction Sensor, Rain Sensor - **Are Batteries Included:** No ## Images ![Ambient Weather WS-2080 Wireless Home Weather Station - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vs+vc+OuL.jpg) ![Ambient Weather WS-2080 Wireless Home Weather Station - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YL18CCB0L.jpg) ![Ambient Weather WS-2080 Wireless Home Weather Station - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Mt+c3TNTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can I download the user"s manual?** A: It is on ambient weather dot com http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/Manuals/ws2080.pdf **Q: What is the wireless Range?** A: 300 feet line of sight, 100 feet under most conditions.The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium.

However, this station is no longer being produced (although it can come back if there's a strong demand). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ambient Weather WS-2080: Great station for a great price *by T***K on April 2, 2012* So I replaced an Oregon Scientific weather station whose rain gauge transmitter stopped working after 1 week with the Ambient Weather station WS-2080, and couldn't be happier. Since there are a lot of reviews already on this product, I'm going to focus on some of the pros and cons that I've run across. Pros: - One of the first things I noticed was how easy it was to set up. Attaching each of the arms to the included mounting pole just requires a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench, and each seperate component slips on one of the arms and a single screw secures it. So it took me about a half an hour to completely set it up on my roof, and that included getting everything up on the roof. - Since everything plugs directly into the transmitter unit (with phone cables, so they just plug in), you only have to worry about a single transmitter. This has a couple of advantages over the Oregon Scientific I replaced: 1) You don't have to worry about multiple transmitters and having multiple points of failure 2) You don't have to sync each component with the base station. - Since there is only one transmitter that everything is plugged into, you only have to supply one set of batteries. The previous weather station I had required batteries in each component, which was a lot of batteries. - The screen layout on the base unit and the screens in the included software are well organized and easy to read. i.e. The data is well organized, so you don't have to search around to find the information you want. The Oregon Scientific unit I had may have had a lot of data available, but it was basically a jumble of clutter and was way to busy. I found myself always searching around for even the most basic of information. - The software that comes with the unit is very easy to use, and allows for a lot of customization for settings, alarms etc. Cons: - The only con I have is the kit doesn't come with mounting brackets for the pole that everything is attached to. Since the odds are high that the pole is going to be mounted against a wall, having a mounting bracket would have been a nice addition. Note: If you don't want to go out and buy a bracket, you can do what I did. I took the mounting bracket off of the transmitter unit and use 1/2 of the bracket to mount the transmitter under the eaves so it was out of the sun, and used the other half of the mounting bracket to attach the pole to the side of the roof. Worked great and is nice and secure. So overall I'm very happy with the weather station, and would definitely recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8620192-ambient-weather-ws-2080-wireless-home-weather-station](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8620192-ambient-weather-ws-2080-wireless-home-weather-station) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
