Weather station outdoor unit issue
Re: Weather station outdoor unit issue
I placed the outdoor module in a protective cover for exterior temperature sensors (manufacturer: TFA).
So I could place the module protected against rain in a shady place, that has less influence to the temperature of the outdoor module (such as mounting on the wall, above sun-heated balcony, etc.)
The distance between the indoor and outdoor modules is 6 meters, and a double glazed window has to be penetrated by the radio signals.
btw: There are insulating glass windows, that are metal evaporated for better sunlight reflection. Such a type of insulating glass windows may also occure a bad wireless connection, I think.

Re: Weather station outdoor unit issue
Did you have to modify the TFA shield to allow the netatmo outdoor unit to fit inside?
Re: Weather station outdoor unit issue
No. I always use alkaline batteries from a well known manufacturer (no cheap alkaline batteries or any simple zinc-carbon-batteries) in all my units. Trying to save up money by this type of batteries will probably cause less power or leak and destroy the units.balgaa wrote:...any special battery for outdoor unit?

No, there is quite enough room inside the TFA shield as you can see here: https://www.amazon.de/review/R1AGHBAF3U ... ore=gardenTorquetube wrote:Did you have to modify the TFA shield to allow the netatmo outdoor unit to fit inside?
