An update:-
sometimes, after many minutes the Pro4 will start receiving data, but it can be many seconds between data packets and only at about 3 or 4% RF Efficiency.
I presume the RX unit is deaf! I have a spare but not sure how easy it is to replace.
Unfortunately the unit won't receive data at all now.
Cheers
Philip.

Another update:-
I think the RX unit is ok. I temporary connected a spare rx board and still no good. I checked the 'Data' connection and there is data there, so not sure whats happening.
I am using Arduino version 1.8.19, and ESP32 v 1.0.6, with the supplied library. (nothing else is in the Library)

I am using latest Firmware RX_v6.2_b005 with settings  Arduino IDE  1.8.19 - ESP32 v2.0.2, but it wont compile like that but it will with ESP32 v1.0.6.

==================
I am just setting up the new Pro4 RX unit using the OOK 433Mhz TX board.
the Pro2 RX board works fine with RF Efficiency of 99.90%.
When the Pro4 RX starts it goes to the page to wait for the T W R to receive data. Nothing happens and after a few minuted the page changes to a pink page which says
"Not Receiving Data"
Below are the Debug Messages. A couple of times I had the unit working  with RF Efficiency of about 2.00%.
Any ideas please.

RFM95 goes to Sleep Mode.
433MHz radio init DONE!

And then nothing more!

I don't have experience with that exact unit and until Werk has a say (and I could be completely wrong), but I would be checking the soldering around the receiver module, ensuing its the correct module and following that, swap it out.

Good luck!

Please upgrade firmware to v6.2_b006
Update the libraries and compile using ESP32 2.0.4

Hello.
Also the OOK 433Mhz transmission between the the Pro2 Universal TX and the Pro4 RX did not work for me.

Now after upgrading to version 6.2_b006 everything works as it should.

Compiled with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and ESP32 2.0.4


Thank you for your work on this project Werk_AG

Checked my RX unit and working 100%, I reset it lots of times and working every time - Fixed

Great Job working out the problem
Thanks Paul
