Interesting observation about O-1PST and WiFi

After having lots of spotty wifi issues with my O-1PST, I installed an outdoor-rated Ubiquiti access point near my weather instrument tower to improve signal for everything out there. Now the signal is great and the O-1PST works fine… except for once a week. I noticed that it goes out every time the neighborhood kids are here to mow my lawn. It seems to correlate when they drive their 4-stoke lawnmower past the tower. I’m wondering, could there be an EMF issue from the spark plug/ignition coil of this mower that is glitching the AirGradient unit? Anybody else noticed this?

Hi @desertdefender,

Could you reach out to me via support@airgradient.com and share the serial number of your monitor? I would like to look into this further.
