Allow for data center app connection through WiFi / Halow instead of BT only. My data center is on my roof and out of BT range unless I go up into my attic.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your suggestion. Weāve discussed this option with our product team in the past, but due to limitations with the data center, weāre unfortunately not able to support WiFi or Halow connections at this time. We really appreciate your input and thank you again for taking the time to share your idea.

Okay @Yarbo-Forum, well, if Wi-Fi or Halo is out, why not support connecting over direct Ethernet since itās already wired up to a network? If you have the DC connected to your homeās network, I donāt see why there should be any problem connecting over your home networkās Wi-Fi through the Ethernet cable.

Right? I drilled through framing and siding to hardwire the mounted DC to a new POE switch in my attic loft, climbed a ladder up on the roof about 6-8 times, but canāt connect to it over Ethernet.

Also, Iām looking to get a smaller mount as I fear the winter winds on the standard pole and extension. I need to know the hole dimensions/locations and thread pitch.

I donāt understand why the poles donāt have the same hole patterns along with the T. The T should just be able to be inserted and screwed into the mounting plate.

I printed one of these and will be mounting it soon.

Wow, what a great find! Iāll look into printing this. Another option I looked at is using the existing mount but modifying an antenna pole to match. Something like Amazon.com: Pole Mount, Antennas Mount,Easy Installation Pole for Outside Home Antenna Installation. Hide and Protect Cable of Equipment. (White, 11.8 in) : Electronics.
Specs I got from support: āData Center pole diameter, the pole diameter is 3.5 cm, and the T-joint diameter is 3.048 cmā. But I couldnāt get the hole pattern or thread size from them.

I like that one. Looks clean.
Those are just snippets from official Yarbo manual.

Hey! Thats my model. Appreciate the share! I didnāt want the long pole either and when mounted like pictured, it has very clear view of the sky. TBH, I expect the only reason the factory mount doesnāt do something similar is because the mount they provided is a bit more āuniversalā
- side note: I added holes for the spring button and the safety/security screw. the button + friction was more than enough and didnāt feel the need to add the screw too, so if it isnāt perfectly aligned, its because i never used it
Out of curiosity, what are yall connecting to the DC for? I think the only time I do is on accident when browsing settings on the mobile app.

Only to check for updates (hasnāt been one in a long time) or to check for CNR levels.

Our data center doesnāt support connecting to the app through Ethernet or other methods. This is due to hardware limitations

Yes thanks for sharing this. Weāre going to modify some as we have to put the DC higher up based on where I put the mount and donāt want to drill new holes.

Hi Yarbo,
Hardware limitationsā¦ Sooo either you chose a horribly under performing processor to run the DC, or youāre BSāing. You already have a full internet connection on the ethernet jack and youāre already pulling pushing data from the internet, so please explain how thereās a HARDWARE limitation that would be preventing you from making a connection to your app, on a cell phone, connected to the internet. I could see there being a firmware/software limitation for, say, security or that the time to invest might be too much (for now), but a hardware limit makes no sense unless the DC has been VERY poorly designedā¦
Try turning your Bluetooth antenna so itās pointing down instead of up. I have about 100 feet of Bluetooth range that way. Didnāt think Bluetooth could go that far but mine does.
Hi. I can SSH the data center.. (I donāt have the password so I canāt login but I can ping it and SSHā¦)ā¦
soā¦ there must be a way to connect to it. Do you mean Ā« software Ā» limitation? That I would understand (no UI for us, the clients).
Because when you connect to our system to troubleshoot, you have to go through the data centerā¦
