awnet

Connected several times with weather station, but the app loses track of the device

For iPhone, I’ve found this app to be totally unusable. Hours of doing the same thing over and over to get no result. I’ve connected in the past but it was totally random that it connected. When I can once again afford a weather station it will not be from Ambient Weather.

This software must have been written by a sister or brother-in-law. Absolutely trash. No feed back just failure after failure. This should not be difficult.

They make such great weather but haven’t bothered to update the app in 2 years to address the legitimate complaints? Shameful. I am an IT guy with 25 yr experience and I still wasted 45 min just trying to get it to join WiFi. I finally followed the advice of another one star review to turn off cellular when going through the setup and that seemed to work. They REALLY need to update this app to address all of problems that everyone is having.

Recently got new internet service. I remember when I first got it I had issues connecting to my internet then as well. Now I’ve followed different options from ambient customer service and ensuring through my internet company I had indeed switched the dual band router to 2.4. Still will not connect.2902c is the model I’ve had. Was about to buy another one for a gift until this happened. I don’t think I will Now unless there’s some kind of solution to this problem.

Could not get my weather station to connect at all, I tried for 30 minutes with countless attempts. Found a note about turning of your cellular data. I did that and my weather station connected on my first attempt with this app. Again TURN OFF YOUR CELLAR DATA and it will work on your first attempt.

Iv’e had nothing but trouble with this app. Every time I have to reset my router, I struggle to get the awnet app to work. This time, it won’t connect at all to my ambient weather station. I’ve went through trouble shooting, watched videos, and tried suggestions on Reddit with no luck. I won’t purchase another ambient product again. I will purposefully search out the competitor and buy it.

1. Why does this need to be a standalone app? It would be within the dashboard app. 2. There are multiple additional steps you must take to successfully connect to WiFi -disable or forget your 5ghz WIFI. You have to have them split to set up but can rejoin them after and it retains connection -turn off cellular data -turn off “auto join WiFi” The app says none of this nor does the Ambient website. It’s just a crappy app that leads people to frustration. The app also crashes indiscriminately. I had to change my WiFi network name and was able to get all my home devices reconnected in under ten minutes. Took me two days of frustration trying with this crappy app.

Like others, this app didnt work for me. But search how to set things up via a pc and typing in the device is address, worked perfectly

So this is what I had to do to get it to work. 1) Connect to YOUR wifi that is a 2.4 gHz band. My guest network is only this so that is what I use. 2) open the app 3) when it prompts you to, go to your wifi settings and connect to the Ambient weather’s WiFi. 4) BEFORE going back to the app, make sure whatever your normal WiFi routers are, go to each and toggle OFF “automatically connect” to each of these. 5) BEFORE going back to the app, make sure the WiFi symbol in the top right has gone from WiFi (from your old connection) to cellular (bars, this means no WiFi right now), to then WiFi connection once you’re connected to the weather system’s WiFi. 6) go to the app, fill out the info and connect. Had no issues this way and worked on my first try 5) go back to the ambient weather app.
