The remotes that come with this unit will work well as the 1-3 remote sensors on older units too.; in my case the remotes connected to my much older Ambient WS-0265 station. Surprisingly, my older Ambient WS-0265 picked up the signals from the remotes at little farther distance than this new unit did.Very easy to set up, and the display is beautiful in colour. The remotes read accurately against each other.The minimum and maximum temperature / humidity readings are a must feature. Atomic Clock works perfect and barometer is a great feature and takes a shot at predicting the weather.This is all you really need to have without getting tangled up with an outdoor weather station and all those extra gadgets to maintain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Little Weather Station *by H***L on May 9, 2025* This weather station replaced an earlier model that died after 14 years. We like the black background as it is easy to ready the white info shown on the station. Works great and very helpful info for us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Accuracy, But RTFM Before Buying! *by T***S on September 24, 2020* I know this is a long review but you may benefit from our experience after reading it.This is a terrific weather station for the price! I read through all the reviews before purchasing and noted all the negatives. Then, BEFORE BUYING, I thoroughly read the online PDF manual and found that many of the negatives I had noted were actually issues that other buyers encountered because they may have not read the manual in advance or post purchase. A few of the negatives turned out affect me as well:1. The actual setup needs to be reviewed prior to doing so. It IS a bit finicky. I followed it exactly and did not encounter a problem but pre-reading the setup procedure helped me immensely. RTFM.2. The sensor's orientation seems to affect the signal strength. I purchased a sensor shield into which I placed the sensor. That turned out to be good idea which allowed me to rotate the sensor within the shield. When first mounted, the base station had a weak signal from the sensor. I then rotated the sensor within the shield so the front of the sensor (with the display) faced in a direct line to the base station. The signal strength on the base station then reached the maximum. The manual does not mention sensor rotation vis-a-vis signal strength, but it may be worth a try if your signal is weak.3. The display's orientation can, indeed, be an issue. We found best position for viewing is to orient it within about 30/35-degrees of its perpendicular center. This should be fairly easy with the stand as long as it is not high or low on a shelf. Ours is mounted at eye-level on the wall.A note on its accuracy. We live within a 25-mile radius of three Class C/D airports; each of which has an Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS). These systems generate periodic weather reports known as Meteorological Terminal Air Reports (METARs) and can be accessed over the internet. As a pilot, I routinely depend on METARs to report weather conditions. I can tell you that, in my location, what is reported by the WS-2801A is always within the range reported from the three local Class C/D airports.Also note that you can calibrate the outdoor (channel 1) temperature, humidity and relative barometric pressure as well as the temperature and humidity on the two additional sensor channels. We tracked the outdoor data and the averaged (same time) METAR from our local airports for a week before we made any calibrations. By comparing these data sources, we were able to determine the calibration offsets needed to bring our WS-2801A within the averaged data reported from the airports. It has been over 2-weeks since calibration and the data is still spot-on!As for the other problems reported here, I believe many of them stem from not carefully reading the manual and, thus, having expectations beyond that which the WS-2801A can support. For instance, the manual clearly states that the pictograph representing the forecast needs "at least one month for the weather station to learn the barometric pressure over time" (page29). Further, on page 30, the manual states "the reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the forecast is a prediction 24-48 hours in advance" and "in most locations, this (24-48 hour) prediction is only 70% accurate." It has not yet been a month since our final calibration so we are not yet expecting the forecast pictograph to be accurate. After the 1-month time frame, I will be using the pictograph for a very general forecast but will rely upon the National Weather Service for timely and sensitive data like determining if frost is likely overnight.Finally, there ave been several mentions that the automatic date and time (RCC) setting does not work. The manual states (page 12) that "in some locations RRC may take a couple of days to receive the signal." And, in fact, the RCC signal is actually received by the sensor and forwarded to the base station. When first installed, the sensor interrupts its weather-sending operation after the first 30-seconds to try to receive the RRC signal. If it fails, it will try every 2 hours until a signal is received. Please note that the time signal is actually an AM radio signal (from WWVB) and is usually fairly weak during the day. Therefore, signal establishment may occur at night in most locations. We installed ours on a Thursday and it wasn't until Saturday morning that I noticed the RCC icon on the base station. Since then, I've noticed that the sensor seems to wait 1-week (each Saturday in our case) before trying to reset the time and date. The manual does not mention this but it seems logical that the day and time of the successful RRC signal reception be remembered by the sensor for next time. It also seems plausible that there is a "hard-coded" update frequency of once a week.Please read the manual before buying so you understand the capabilities (and limitations) of this excellent home weather station! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ambient Weather WS-2801-X2 Advanced Wireless Color Forecast Station w/ 2 Remote Sensors - Energizer AA Batteries, Ultimate Lithium Double A Battery, 8 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/72995487-ws-2801-x2-advanced-wireless-color-forecast-station-w-2](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/72995487-ws-2801-x2-advanced-wireless-color-forecast-station-w-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
