I’ve had the WS-1001-WIFI for a little over a year now, and have been mostly happy with it. My only real issue is that whenever I’ve needed to re-boot the console (either due to a power glitch or the occasional lock-up), it’s always been a challenge to get it to re-acquire the remote sensors. This has been the case since day one.
The console easily connects via WIFI to my router – that’s never a problem. But the RF connection to the indoor and outdoor sensors has always been hit-or-miss. This seems to be independent of distance to the sensors – I initially had the remote sensor array mounted off our deck, about 15ft away from the console, and still no joy.
Connection success rate *seems* entirely random. Sometimes it acquires the sensors on the first try, other times I have to power cycle the console again and again with fingers crossed. If I give up and just leave the console displaying no data, it has sometimes eventually connected on its own and other times not.
I’ve tried moving and/or disabling nearby cellphones and other RF-emitting devices, moving the console location, re-registering the transmitters – with no reliable luck.
I’m currently running 2.2.5 firmware, and have been for many months.
So, for anyone else who has trouble with the console acquiring the remote sensors - any tips or tricks?
