RFXtrx

[krambriw]

It is reported as the same from the firmware (02813 = 02811) so there is no difference except that the text in the event from my plugin could be updated to include also 02813 as possible sensor

krambriw , again , thank you for this plugin . been using it for almost 6 months without a single problem 24/7 (LightwaveRF + PT2262).

one question please . Is there a way to increase RFXtrx433E transmission range ? and can I use multiple RFXtrx433E with your plugin?

thanks

[Mastiff]

I'm not Krambriw, but...I believe you can use more than one instance, bound to separate comports. How much of a range do you need? I may have a better, cheaper and simpler tip for that.

thanks for your reply . about 5 meters . more is better ofcourse

Buy this:

You can find it several places, like this:

From RFXCOM I have today received the following suggestion:

This antenna will improve the receive/transmit range.

To have the maximum result place the antenna on a metal object at least 30cm round.

Do not underestimate having a good ground plane as Bert is advicing

[Mastiff]

Krambriw, I have to say that the one I listed to beat the Conrad Ground Plane (which many consider the standard) hands down in my tests. I spent hours testing both of them at home and at the cabin, and I have those DAB antennas both places now.

[krambriw]

Cool, yeah various environments will require various solutions

[Mastiff]

But new stuff is always cool, especially cheap, new stuff! So I ordered the one you linked to, and I will test it against the DAB antenna, and I will try it on my Tellsticks as well. They don't have anywhere near the range of the RFXtrx with my sensors, Oregon or Viking. Maybe this will help.

i bought this one two days ago to try it , it looks the same , same specs

and now i will buy the one Mastiff listed above .

thanks guys.

[krambriw]

Very interesting so to see the comparison!

[Mastiff]

I'll let you know what I find out! Oh, Right_H, let us know which one of them works best for you!

OT: And Krambriw, if you have the time, I have managed to Python myself into a corner again... So if you have the time, please look at the registry problem in the coding corner... Please?

My son was taking a trip today and went to a shop that sold the Viking for me, so I can now confirm that the 02813 works flawlessly with the new version of the plug-in. Thanks, Krambriw!
