Figure 4: Indoor sensor mounting 

Note: 

Make  sure  the  sensor  is  mounted 

vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. 
This  will  insure  optimum  reception.  Wireless 
signals  are  impacted  by  distance,  interference 
(other  weather  stations,  wireless  phones, 
wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), 
and  transmission  barriers,  such  as  walls.  In 
general,  wireless  signals  will  not  penetrate
