Understanding AquaControl's AquaSense SV1 and AquaFlow SV2 signal strength

LoRa Signal Strength

• For AquaSense SV1 and AquaFlow SV2 LoRaWAN devices.
• The RSSI dB value is displayed for LoRaWAN devices within AquaControl > Activity > Check-Ins
• The RSSI floor is typically -120dB.  Anything from -120dB to 0dB is "enough" signal.  
• If RSSI is below -120dB, the device may miss check-ins periodically or become unable to communicate with the network.  In this case, we recommend installing additional LoRaWAN Gateways closer to the devices.
• NOTE:  Depending on signal strength, the ADR function in the LNS is able to help conserve power when signal strength is good.

Cellular Signal Strength:

• For AquaFlow SV2 Cellular LTE-M devices.
• The Signal dB value is displayed for Celluar LTE-M devices within AquaControl > Activity > Check-Ins
• The table below explains the range of dB values relative to performance.  The RSRQ column values can be ignored, we do not display this value within AquaControl.  
• If a device is struggling to check-in, Signal (dB) values can be examined to determine if there is adequate signal strength.  
• It is important to note that RSRQ is not the only factor.  A device may have fair to poor dB values and check-in consistently.  A device may also have good dB values and miss check-ins.
