 My Video review of the Ambient Weather WS-1170 August 4, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R19MSRTNXP6K8Y I am somewhat knowledgeable about weather stations and I found that for under $30 the Ambient Weather WS-1170 is a great buy. I found that temperature, humidity, and barometer all had accurate readings. It uses a frequency of 433MHz that doesn't interfere my other wireless stuff.
I made a video review if you want to see it.
Good value, But .... July 23, 2010

Has all the features the previous reviewer noted, so good purchase for the price. Had some issues with the instructions, but the manufacturer corrected those almost immediately!
A very nice feature is that the "Radio-Controlled Clock (RCC)" receiver is in the remote sensor, which in turn sends time info to the main display unit. Since the remote sensor is usually mounted outside and relatively high, it has an optimum reception opportunity, and the main display can be located anywhere within the remote's transmission range.
Shipped promptly, great support.

AT LAST, an indoor-outdoor weather station that is simple to set up, easy to re-program if you choose, easy to read, and reliable. And it costs much less than the other brands that I tried and discarded. I tried a Lacrosse wireless weather station and ended up throwing it out. It was an engineering nightmare whose set-up was so complicated and counter-intuitive that it was impossible without the instructions. And it needed to be set-up anew everytime you changed the batteries. Heaven help you if you lost the instructions! The Oregon weather station required specialized tools. I have a lot of optical equipment with screwdrivers of all kinds and sizes, but none worked. I sent the Oregon station back. The set-up of the Ambient is simple and intuitive, with almost everything being done for you. All you need is a standard philips screwdriver. Basically, insert the batteries and it does the rest. Re-setting is simple. The Ambient display is also clear and easy to read. Not so the Lacrosse. Others make the same complaint about the Oregon. The Ambient weather station actually works, and that tells you everything you need to know. The fact that it is much cheaper, delivery is timely, Ambient keeps you informed about the packgage's whereabouts, and confirms delivery are all pleasant extras. Good to find a company at last that treats customers as if they actually matter.
Great first barometer August 6, 2010

This is a great product. The interface could be a bit simpler for the general public, but I love it. I cant wait for one of the alarms that I have set to go off. I am considering building a Stevenson Screen and avoiding paying $30 to buy the one that they sell.
Great product! August 8, 2010

Really enjoy this instrument. The weather here on the oregon coast gets pretty wild at times and look forward to using it this fall/winter. Thanks for a great product! Thanks Amazon for the fast ordering and shipping!
