I've got real problems with the supposed "RF capability" of my TM12.
i.e. it's particularly poor in that it won't communicate with devices
that are outside.
It's new-build house so it's not like I have sandstone brick walls (if
only !!)
It does work if I'm close to a window, but the minute there's bricks in
the way....NOTHING.

Is the TM13 any better in this respect - is the range of it any better
(or should I be looking more at the trasmitting side, rather than the
TM12 receiver) ??

I even spent some time last night looking to see if I could hack the
TM12 in anyway to increase its range

Cheers,
