Sorry for reviving an old thread but while waiting for the part to arrive I'm reading about the 433Mhz stuff and antenna's
This thread is very informative, thanks to all the participants!
After reading for 2 days now on several fora and watching numerous video's, I came to the (obvious) conclusion that a very good antenna is key to the success of the WeatherDuino setup in my particular case because the temp/hum/rain station will be 20 meters away in the garden
I came across one antenna which had very good reviews in difficult situations for numerous users, appearing on several fora and is not mentioned here so maybe other will benefit:
It from the well known company Aurel, they also make very good Tx and Rx receivers which I already use in my Domoticz domotica system.
This is the antenna: CLICK
Aurel GP 433 Ground Plane Antenna. cost is 36 euro's
someone on the Domoticz forum mounted it upside down on the top floor!
Any thoughts / experience with this kind of antenna?
