    Hi there!

    Been struggling with my mailbox sensor radio coverage for a while (tried various radios, antenna modifications etc the normal route to insanity while having lots of fun).

    Now wondering how the radio initialization routine works: if parentNodeId setting is AUTO (the default), does the node find the 'best' parent every time the node is reset/rebooted, or is it merely a one time process?

      If it fails transmitting to its parent SEARCH_FAILURES times (default 5) it tries to find a new parent node.

        Ahh, thanks!

        I have ack set to false (the last installed sensor version), so this rules out the search function, I assume!
