Mopeka Pro connection to Cerbo GX very unstable

I have 3 Mopeka Pro LP sensors that I cannot get to reliably connect to my Cerbo GX. Cerbo firmware is 3.01. The connections keep dropping and rarely do I have all 3 connected at the same time. When they are connected though they work fine. One sensor is only about 4' from the Cerbo. Batteries are all good. At first I thought it might be a bluetooth issue so I added a BT dongle but that has made no difference. They work fine through the Mopeka app on phone even at 3x the distance.

Anyone else seeing this and if so did you find a solution?

Thx

I had to add a Bluetooth dongle as my Mopeka sensors had poor connection. The connection quality was a lot better but still not perfect so I turned on continuous scanning on my Cerbo GX and now get perfect connection. As my Cerbo has wired LAN connection to my router I am not concerned about the potential interference with the Cerbo wifi.

Thanks @pwfarnell. Setting Continuous Scanning seems to have done the trick. All 3 have been there every time I have checked since making the change.

@Daniele Calabrese

If you solved the problem of your Mopekas, how far are they from your Cerbo?

And which exact Bluetooth extender are you using?

Noted. My distance is much longer, about 60m. I'm working on a solution. I plan to use the UB400. It seems the UB500 still doesn't work..
