Any tips on “go the webpage of your station”? My hub has no open ports at all, let alone 80. I have a phone app that can talk to the hub but am clueless alas on “go the webpage of your station”

I see the hub on my LAN, at 192.168.0.25:

Thanks, got it. Same as my phone app ;-). But found the green dot and got:

RSSI -86

so yes, it’s lower than -80. But that sucks. It’s in the best place I can find for it and not very far away. Gotta wonder what gives. So it seems I have to find a new location with better than -80 db RSSI. Is that right?

Indeed. Your walls contains steel ? Other emitting devices near that can disturb ?

Also try to turn the devices 1/4 per 1/4 and see if by any chance you get better results.

But don’t turn the Sky.

OK, no, no steel in walls, timber frame house. No great distance between hub and AIR. Tried turning AIR and got a slight rise in signal strength but still around -80. So, given I’m lucky and I have a WAP in the back yard shed ;-), I moved the hub there, and connected to that, so it’s out of the house now, out of the weather, no longer in Bluetooth range from home I expect, but signal strength to AIR and Sky is good. So I’ll run with that.
