Greetings,
In the process of troubleshooting my Yale locks, which eventually led to my purchasing a second z-troller, I had made a call to Homeseer to check on z-troller stock availability. While talking about my issues, a question was raised, "How is your primary z-troller mounted?" A bit perplexed, I said, "Well, it's connected to my Hometroller S3 with a six inch or so cable that came with z-troller, so... it kinda just lays on top of Hometroller. No much room for anything else".
To that, the answer was that "...mounting it vertically would be better and would improve z-wave transmission". If z-troller behaves like an antenna then, I suppose, that makes sense. One wouldn't want to lay the antenna down flat. On the other hand, z-troller looks and feels like a handheld device, with not much support in its design for any kind of mounting - vertical or horizontal. Moreover, that blinking hand controller is not something I would want to stick up onto a wall with a piece of Velcro, for example.
What do the rest of z-troller users do? Any thoughts on what an ideal position and, while we are at it, location in the house should be?
As always, your experience and suggestions are much appreciated.
