Hi
Having range issue in my flat with my ZWave devices I'd like to know what is best orientation to use for the board to get better coverage ? A radio coverage schema avalaible somewhere ?
Thanks

RaZberry uses a Silabs reference PCBA antenna for 868 MHz. You can find its diagram in the internet.
But note that final range will depend a lot on the neighbouring of the antenna. Pi case, cables around, etc

Hi Polto,
so using the Razberry on a Pi and horizontel is the best way?
Or should we use another orinentation with the Pi?

It depends where your devices are and how their antennas are oriented
RaZberry antenna is almost same as WES0031-01-APL868M-01 from
