Thank you John. I have had just one signal that got through and
reported the signal strength at -95dBm, and the outside temperature at
7.2°C.
So it seems that its signal strength rather than temperature that is the
issue, and the hardware is actually working but not getting enough signal.
Time to give the unit a tinfoil hat I think! :-)
(more likely a 3D printed paraboloid and copper foil)...
Ho hum. Product development eh?
