The remote is a rather weak transmitter. Because the control box is burried against the front wall of the basement it can get masked especially if you have some of your "stuff" in the way of the signal. We have tried various locations but the remote is hard to use at times unless you are just outside next to the basement.

Our wind sensor function has been off for months now. It would roll up in no wind conditions when the temperature got to 90 degrees as well as soon as it started to rain, even a gentle shower. If we leave the unit we just roll it up so we don't have to worry about wind while we're gone.
