What is the impact of low Signal Strength ?

Low signal strength between the monitoring wireless sensor and the Accesspoint can significantly impact the sensor's battery life as well as the lack of real-time data and alarms. When the sensor is situated far from the Accesspoint or encounters interference, it may need to emit a stronger signal to maintain communication, leading to increased power consumption and reduced battery life.


Furthermore, maintaining a strong and stable connection is crucial for ensuring real-time communication between the sensor and the cloud system. In the event of an alarm or critical condition, such as abnormal levels of monitored parameters, timely notification is essential for prompt action and mitigation.


Therefore, it is advisable to position the wireless sensor within an optimal range of the Accesspoint and minimize potential sources of interference to maximize battery life and ensure reliable communication for timely alerts and notifications.

When your wireless signal is transmitted through various materials, such as walls and windows, the signal strength is affected.

Though the Sensor and the Accesspoint may be very close in proximity, you could still notice high signal interference if the signal passes through certain obstacles. For instance, if the signal passes through a concrete wall it will be severely weakened. Please reference the below chart to see which obstacles highly affect your signal and which do not.
