I see that the default code gives an RSSI open space measurement but from my understanding, this is not the same thing as RSSI levels.

Especially indoors, where reflections and fading will cause the RSSI value to fluctuate with 10&amp;#39;s of dB&amp;#39;s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The receiver is measuring the RSSI, received signal strength indicator. This is the energy on the channel at the time of measurements. It&amp;#39;s loosely related to distance. There are better ways to measure distance than RSSI.
