Poor range? T110 switch with H100 Hub
I have a T110 switch outdoors on a gate, and the H100 hub indoors. Between them is 12 meters distance, and one single-brick wall. This seems to be too much for the signal?
The setup was easy to get working when both were in the same room, then I moved the T110 switch out to the gate. At first it was working, when the T110 was "out in the open" i.e unprotected, but it showed low signal in the app (around -85 RSSI). Then I put the T110 into a weatherproof plastic box and now it doesn't communicate at all.
Is there a way to make this work?

I think I have solved it myself. I had the T110 switch mounted on the gate post only about 180mm off the ground. I have raised it up to 680mm above ground, and now the signal strength is showing strong at -66 RSSI. Being too close to ground seems to attenuate (reduce) the signal quite a lot.

@Vishal_dpc The enclosure was 3D printed. You can find it on Thingiverse, search for weatherproof T110. It is thing number 6789959.
