So anyway to keep them from colliding or interfering with each other? I have a 5-1 up on one side of my apt and want to add my 3-1 to the other side of the roof using same aculink bridge will the 2 cause problems? Also does Meteobridge even allow option to add multiple sensors at once? If i looking at my current data with my 5-1 getting mixed with 3-1 then I think I'll pass on this. Would really like to do it though
The data packets have identifying information in them, like the model type (3n1 or 5n1) and a short ID number. This is usually enough to tell what data is coming from where.
As far as collisions go, that's a normal fact of life in communications. Each device emits a packet on a fixed schedule, such as a 5n1 every 18 seconds, a temp/humidity tower every 16 seconds, and so on. The different timings lessens the likelyhood that two devices will keep colliding with each other often. The'll still collide once in a while, though.
Also, the 433MHz frequency is shared by other similar devices (e.g. wireless keys, home automation and security devices, etc.) The packets from these can also cause collisions, but it's usually not a big problem.
