A place for everyone to post photos of your Tempest and how you installed the unit.

I moved the Hub tonight to a different window. It’s roughly the same distance but the angle to the sensor is now looking more at the north side of the device rather than the east side. I don’t know how the antenna is arranged within the sensor but it brought the RSSI up to -70. The distance is only …
