Long range radio indoor
-
I'm making remotes with 3 buttons that have to transmit the signal to the central receiver. These remotes are in different locations in a building with a lot of walls.
Which radio should i use?
I had some nrfs but they aren't strong enough (tested with the LNA PA)
How about the RFM69HW 433mhz? And is there a way to lower the bandwidth with mysensors, so the range will be increased?

The regular RFM69 has much better range than the NRF so you might not need the high power version at all. It does require you buy/build your own antenna though. I'm using the 915 MHz version and can cover my whole house, yard, and garage with a small helical antenna I bought on ebay (the NRF couldn't do that even with an external antenna). Just search for "XXX hz helical antenna) on ebay to see a lot of options.
