awnet

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.

Useless! I needed to connect my weather station to a new WiFi router. 8 tries with both an iPhone, IPad, AND a neighbors Android phone and no luck. PLEASE update this app so it works ASAP! And yes, I used a 2.4 ghz Wi-Fi signal. Sad to say the least.

I've been trying to connect this app for months! Uninstall and reinstalled repeatedly. It just continues to say it connected but it doesn't and my wifi flashes until unplugged. Contacted Ambient and they sent me a useless link and then stopped responding to me. I won't buy from Ambient weather again. Not happy!!!!!!!

The negative reviews don’t do this app Justice. It’s even worse than that. I tried every single workaround to try and get my weather station to connect to Wi-Fi. I finally gave up on the iPhone and had luck after 3 tries connecting via my iPad. Just for kicks, I also tried trying to connect it via my old Android phone and it also worked. Idk what it is with iPhones, but this app will not work with them. Don’t even bother trying.

Cannot get weather station onto my WiFi because it continuously crashes during setup. Waste of time, app devs need to be fired.

If only negative stars were available. I have a new 2902D system with the new console. I have tried two different routers that connect other 2.4GHz device with no issues at all including Lifex bulbs, security cameras, etc. I have plenty of capacity in my system for additional connected devices. I have turned off all other nodes on my mesh network. I have turned off the cellular data and done REPETITIVELY all the steps on the support pages. I have been working for two weeks to try to get this console to connect. The app always reports that it is connected to Wi-Fi successfully but then the app crashes with no connectivity. At this point I keep hoping that some weather leprechaun will just show up and magically make it work like so many other random posts online indicate for this system. This appears to be a notoriously recognized failure of an app at this point. Bottom line: if you are reading reviews before making an informed purchase of a weather system, RUN!!! Or, at the very least wait until they develop on app that doesn’t crash or require throwing Pennies into a wishing well until something mysterious occurs causing random functionality!

But it did connect. My station HAD been online with Weather Underground, but I had to do a major network rework. Followed the instructions, but when the big circle starts, the app would crash. After the 4th time, I checked the WU app - my device was now registering. So - if you are Reinstalling, check your preferred weather app to see if you are online.
