Ratings and reviews

This app broke the internet connection on my WS-2902 weather station console. I was trying to switch Wi-Fi access points, followed the instructions in the manual, but it won't finish setup, I presume because of an app big, and now my weather station isn't connected to the Internet, so the mobile app can't connect. I'm using a Google Pixel 9 Pro.

After you put in your Wi-Fi network and password the book says press Next, but there is none. It has two other sites that you could register on, but not unless you've already gone there and set it up. It's confusing as to whether you need to do these or not and why. They need to separate the ambient site registration, which I think it's all you really need to do, then ask you if you want to do the other sites, or have separate apps for them. I would have done another if it weren't so confusing.

Like a great many small companies trying to be tech companies, Ambient has bitten off more than they can chew in maintaining two mobile apps. The connection succeeds but I'm assuming the handshake between the devices fail and a timeout occurs. As soon as I saw that an app was required to set up the station, I expected this to happen, and it did. I eventually gave up. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the app did at least not crash.
