5 Ways to Stay Cool & Comfortable with Ambient Weather Products and AWN Data

As summer temperatures soar, keeping your home cool becomes a top priority. With Ambient Weather’s advanced weather stations, sensors, and the Ambient Weather Network (AWN), you can turn real-time data into smarter, more comfortable living. Here’s how:

1. Stay Ahead of the Heat with Ambient Weather Stations & AWN Alerts

Monitor real-time temperature, humidity, and wind speed right from your backyard. By setting up free push or email alerts on the AWN app, you’ll know the moment temperatures rise—so you can adjust your cooling strategy before it gets uncomfortable.

✅ Pro Tip: Not sure which station is right for you? Compare our models here. For indoor-only setups, check out the WS-1938 Wi-Fi Home Weather Station with CO₂ Monitoring.

2. Automate Comfort with IFTTT and Smart Home Devices

Use IFTTT to connect your AWN-enabled station to smart blinds, lights, and thermostats. Automatically close shades or dim lights when it gets too hot to keep your home cooler with less energy.

✅ Pro Tip: Pair your station with Hunter Douglas shades, Hue lights, or Rachio sprinklers to make your home respond intelligently to outdoor conditions.

3. Prevent Summer Leaks & Appliance Failures

Summer storms and high usage can lead to water leaks and spoiled food. Use the WH31LA Leak Detector for early warnings and the WH51RF Fridge/Freezer Sensor to monitor appliance temperatures.

✅ Pro Tip: Upgrade to AWN+ for text alerts when temperatures rise or leaks are detected—ideal when you’re traveling or out for the day.

4. Use Cooling Degree Days (CDD) to Optimize Your Energy Use

With AWN+, you can track Cooling Degree Days, a smart metric that helps you anticipate cooling needs. Plan your AC usage more effectively and reduce energy costs—without sacrificing comfort.

✅ Pro Tip: Use CDD trends to pre-cool your home or schedule smart thermostats before peak heat sets in.

5. Monitor Pool Temperature with the WH31PF Floating Thermometer

Ensure your pool is always ready for a refreshing dip. The WH31PF Pool Float sends real-time temperature data to the AWN app, so you can check pool conditions remotely.

✅ Pro Tip: Monitor your pool throughout the day and swim when it’s just right—without having to guess or check manually.
