On the display for the rain you have daily rain, rain event, hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly. The daily resets at midnight to zero. It's a much better unit all around.

I was with Acurite for 4 years with nothing but one failure after another. I finally purchased the ws-2000. I think you will be very happy with the system especially with their support. Let us know how you like it.

Congratulations. I was also considering ordering the WS-2000, but it was always showing up on the Ambient website as being out of stock. Where did you find it?

Right. I saw the Amazon listing but thought it was incongruous with what the manufacture was showing. It's a bit moot at this point as my wife has placed the order, just yesterday afternoon, actually. Also, the Teflon spray !

$279.99 for the WS-2000?  That is utterly ridiculous for a weather station with a console with a pretty display.  The WS-2902A with the same array and a good-looking display is $152.99 on the Ambient website.  Other than the moveable indoor temperature/humidity sensor, they both do the same thing.  Heck, get an extra display for the WS-2902A, and you are still sitting $50 less than the WS-2000.  Also, websites can give you pretty displays with either of these weather stations.

Even better.  Get the WS-1900 for $71.99 and an extra WS-2902A display to report to the Internet for $59.99, and you will be at $131.98 + shipping.  I wish I had done this instead of getting the WS-2902A with an extra WS-2902A display.  I would have saved myself nearly $60.

The WS-2000 display is significantly better then the 2902.  (info, viewing angle, etc, etc).  It's the best of class weather display out there!!

Yes, I agree their new pricing is totally out of line. They need to bring it back down to $229 shipped which would be a $60 premium over the 2902. (+$110  premium is nuts).

Maybe they're getting greedy since Acuite Atlas is a "stillborn" but $280 is getting pretty close to Davis territory.

@snow755 - Yes, the WS-2902A arrived yesterday; however, it's a Christmas gift from my wife, so I can't open until then. And waiting three more weeks will allow the concrete to more completely cure for the tilting mast support structure I just built.

Do you have your WS-2000 up and running and how did you mount it?

Be sure and post a photo of it after you've mounted it to the better / permanent mount.

I believe it came on the market this past summer — July or August and currently is out of stock at Ambient Weather.  But a new shipment is expected on or about Dec. 14:

I got an email from Ambient on 8-23-2018 that the new WS-2000 was available.  Ordered it that day for $178 + Shipping.

has much has i did not  want too  i ended up sending back my WS-2000 weather station and going back too  my AcuRite station   there some thing i like more about AcuRite  then  i do with the WS-2000 weather station     


 
the issues  i had with the WS-2000 weather station  was i found when  was  temper trended  too be  too warm  then other out door weather stations  reporting   the temper  on my mother lode .com  on a cold sunny AM  can read 35 too where my station  would so  all 45 too 50  for being out in the sun light    too where  my AcuRit   is right on the dime 

other thing i did not like about the WS-2000 that it  feels  cheap   and not  vary  strong made        i

one thing i missed on my AcuRite that  the WS-2000 is that  is has a build  in lighting  thing  too where  the WS -2000 dos not  wish i  find  vary handy  too have 


i all so did not  like the new firmware  upgrade  they did on the last update   one thing that started   too be a pain in the  butt was  the  little  whit ! point  would keep showing up from time too time   and that started right after i updated  the firmware   


in  the long run  i think my AcuRite  will last a lot longer  in the weather and hold up better in the wind  hail and  other kind of weather  the WS-2000 this feels  too cheap and will not   last  you in the long run in the weather   i may return  if the next weathe station is better made  and it comes with buit in lighting  tool  for  tracking lighting   

but am happy  with the AcuRite  weather station  that i have for now  and it will do just find  i hop you all understand

If you prefer the Acurite, that’s all that matters.  I hope it gives you much enjoyment!

@snow755 - Sorry to hear about your problem and hassle. Did you have any issue returning the product to Ambient?

Can you post a picture of where you've installed your Acurite? I'm curious if it is in the exact same place as where you had the WS-2000?

A new update released for ws-2000 on 13 Dec, Now  the Temperature and wind are readable from about 4 meters away :)

I just hope that an update is released that solves the problem of resetting the min,max ( in the home screen ) after shutting down the device.
