Consider what is in the signal path between your station and your sensors. 

 

Consider the distance your station is from other electronics in the home. 

 

Resistance:  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can 

reduce the range.  

 

When considering the distance between your sensor and your station (300 feet, 91 

meters open air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other 

obstruction in the signal path.   

 

Closer is better. 

 

Do not mount your sensors on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective 

range. 

 

Interference:  

 

Consider items in the signal path between your sensors and your station.  

 

Simple relocation of your sensors or your station may correct an interference issue. 

 

Windows can reflect the radio signal.  

 

Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal. 

 

Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference. 

 

Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military 

bases, etc. may cause interference. 

 

Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close. 

 

Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal. 

 

Dirt: Receiving a signal through a hill is difficult.
