Connect Ambient Weather

Connect Ambient Weather

Use Ambient Weather for a station registered with AmbientWeather.net. Setup requires the account’s API Key.

Compatible account devices include current WS-2902, WS-2000, WS-4000, and WS-5000 stations, along with several earlier Ambient Weather and compatible KestrelMet models. See Ambient Weather stations and Kestrel weather stations.

Before you begin

Confirm that AmbientWeather.net shows the station and a recent observation.

Add the API key

1. Sign in to AmbientWeather.net.
2. Open Account > API Keys.
3. Create or copy the API Key.
4. In Weather Fusion, choose Ambient Weather.
5. Enter the key and choose Test Connection.
6. Select the station, then choose Done.

Weather Fusion starts with recent data and can continue downloading older history in provider-sized batches. Sensor-status and station metadata depend on the information returned for the selected Ambient Weather device.

If the test fails, remove spaces copied before or after the key and try again. Regenerate the key in AmbientWeather.net if the existing key has been revoked.
