Thank you, all, for the info and recommendations. The Ambient Weather WS-2902A definitely seems to be the best option for the time being.
Again, thank you. I appreciate everyone being so helpful and welcoming.
Acurite, Oregon Scientific, Lacrosse, etc.., junk.
When you say, "etc...junk." Are you saying that Ambient Weather stations are junk too? Or are you saying that only Acurite, Oregon Scientific, LaCrosse and the like are junk? So what is "like" those? Is Ambient Weather like those? Basically it is confusing when you add the, "etc" to know what else that includes. And you should elaborate exactly why those you mentioned are junk so that you statement can be evaluated for relevance. How exactly are they junk?
I would like to add that out of that list Acurite and Ambient Weather seem to be very very popular and seem to have decent reporting (I realize that is an opinion of mine). And if you feel they are junk well compared to a Davis VP2 I suppose you are right. But you are also spending many times less to have an Internet connected and easy to use weather station with fairly accurate reporting.
What do you have? A Davis VP2? Even the Davis VP2 isn't perfect. If you read about the SHT31 humidity issues that mess up dew point and heat index reporting then compared to a Vaisala the Davis VP2 is junk. The VP2 can't even properly calculate altimeter pressure for CWOP reporting because it never gives you absolute pressure and only reports SLP. Those are a valid arguments.
So I'll elaborate how I feel Acurite and Ambient Weather are decent. They last a few years. They are minimal investment. Lots of people start with these and then many move up to a Davis VP2 when they can save up for it. Many people may be hesitant to jump right into a Davis VP2 not knowing if the investment or effort will be worth it or if they will be able to deal with the complexities of maintaining a weather station. So the $200 - $300 Acurite and Ambient Weather stations represent a decent entry level weather station with acceptable sensor reporting.
I can't speak for LaCrosse and Oregon Scientfic as I have no experience with them but they are reputable brands that also sell well and have been around for a long time.
From my experience the Netatmo and Weatherflow from what I've seen reported on WU the data coming from those stations is terrible and from following the user base of those owners in the respective forums. So for the same price of $200 - $300 those are junk.
And with that my junk statement is quantified. People can agree or disagree but at least they will know from where I based my statements.
