Installed yesterday and early morning Tempest stopped sending information to Hub. Did the basics of rebooting the hub, Flipping the Tempest on/off switch. Holding the Tempest clear button, which just blinked green. Brought into the house and repeated. Finally connected. Just checked the RSSI va…

Just had a look at your station, it seems to run ok now … you got it to work or did it come back automagically

I had to do try several basics to finally get the Tempest to connect to the hub. That is when I saw the RSSI -85. RIght now it is -71. I didn’t move the hub, just turned it a little, I think aiming the thin side in the direction of the Tempest, but even soon after I did not notice an improvement i…

From my experience I’ve noticed there is a directional tendency with the antennas in the Tempest Hub and Sensor(outdoor) unit. I found the best orientation is for the Hub (LED side) to point to the southside of the Tempest Senor if possible.

[image] kcmisc1: I think aiming the thin side in the direction of the Tempest, but even soon after I did not notice an improvement in the RSSI. This is something to watch. I wonder if WF has an antenna broadcast/reception map for the hub and tempest? This would be handy in situations where th…

Just something to keep in mind… Falling precipitation and/or a hot day does have negative impact on RF signals. I’ve seen this effect on my outdoor security cameras and with the Tempest itself.

here is what you’re looking for regarding the hub [image] Transmitter antenna direction in Air unit Tempest Owners Good question @petercek The antenna in all devices (AIR, SKY, HUB) is mounted vertically away from the PCB with no deliberate directional bias – see pic o…

@eric Would you mind marking up the images to show what we are looking at and add a frame of reference (like looking from the front, back, etc.)?

For the hub it is pretty simple, look at the little power connector :wink: For a sky (my test sky in any case as I dismantled it), the antenna is the same side where you have the led button And for the Tempest … I have no clue, I have not dismantled my only unique one I have :slight_smile:

A hot day is when I most want to see an accurate temperature. We just finished 19 straight days of 100+ and one day at 113 official and would have wanted to know if our home was hotter or cooler and the temp as the day progressed. I have been using Acurite and both myself and my next door neighbor…
