Ambient Weather WS-2902 Osprey Weather Station review: The best choice for smart-home buffs

Smart home enthusiasts take note: You can tie Ambient Weather's WS-2902 Osprey weather station into your smart home system, so your indoor lights won't wait until sunset to turn on when it's gray and dreary outside; your smart sprinkler will stop watering the lawn if it starts to rain; and you can ask Alexa or Google Assistant for a weather report from where you actually live, not from the closest National Weather Service (NWS) monitoring station. You'd think most home weather stations do these things, but they don't. Netatmo comes close, with hooks into Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT, but you'll spend more than $300 to build out a complete Netatmo system that can measure temperature, rainfall, and wind speed. The WS-2902 Osprey is built with connectivity top of mind. It's Wi-Fi capable and it works with IFTTT, so you can program weather events and conditions to trigger actions in your smart home.
