Hi,
I have a small greenhouse which is mostly constituted by plastic. I also have a small weather station BLUESKY BWS688, with two receptors. The manual stipulates that the working range of the receptors is ~30 meters, but I rather think that it is ~3 meters: my greenhouse is at ~5 meters, and its signal is not received. As my greenhouse is not surrounded by some metal stuff, I would be very surprised to learn that the Faraday effect would take place into it.
Consequently, the receptor's range seems too weak. What could I do to solve this problem? Would it be possible to hack some antenna or some conductor, say on one or two meters? Would it work better? I have exchanged my two receptors, and they all work properly. Once a length ~4 meters separates the principal station and one of the receptors, the receptor's signal is not received anymore.
Thanks.
