Wireless Signal Strength
A
Directional signal strength
Wireless performance can vary depending on the orientation
of the advice. Depending on the device, max performance can
be directional or planar. In the example below, the wireless
signal is strongest from the front and back of the unit.
Refer to your device's instruction manual for details on
directional signal strength.
Weaker
Strongest
(front)
Directional issues may be noticed with door sensors, for
example, when the sensor performs differently depending
on whether the door is open or closed. If communication is
inconsistent, please add an additional repeater.

Signal Range
Wireless signals can refl ect and bounce, but it is best to
assume that devices will communicate using a direct path.
However, signal range is impacted by sensor orientation,
obstacles between sensors, and the environment's RF noise.
C
Repeater
When wireless devices can not be positioned so that the
direct signal path is within the areas of strong signal strength,
a repeater may be required to relay the signal.
The repeater should be positioned so that direct signal path
with each device is within the areas of strong signal.
DEVICE
Nexia devices, including the appliance module, dimmer module,
and wired thermostat, function as repeaters that can extend the
the range of wireless signals.

Control Interference from radio emitters, various electronic devices, Sensor Microwave and solid objects may degrade or stop communication.
  • Page 3 Materials That May Affect Signals Metal objects, walls, and fl oors can affect wireless signals. While not all-inclusive, a list of common construction and fabrication materials and their potential for adversely affecting wireless signals is provided in the following table.

  • Page 4 Mounting Considerations Location 2 FEET A wireless device may have signifi cantly different signal strengths if its position changes relative to other wireless devices. If the sensor is losing communication with the Optimal Zone portal, you may be able to improve the signal strength by moving it a short distance in any direction.
