Hub orientation for C5 (and C7)

I see there are some discussions for how to orientate the older external Zwave stick hubs, but I'm not seeing anything about the C5 (or C7) with internal Zwave radios.

Does it matter? I'm about to move my hub to the center of my house (from a corner), and want to do it right. I'm talking ceiling or wall. =)

Thanks!

I had no issue mounting my hubs vertically (both used to be on walls with a 3D printed mount), on their side (in a 3D printed mount, my primary hub is this way) or just sitting as they might normally (my backup hub is that way right now).

The only reason they are not still on walls is because the room I used to use as my hobby room/office got changed so I came up with different locations for now.

Mounted vertically (was best spot to mount, really). That's how they (it and a Lutron Hub) had been previously as well. So, seems good.

Same here for me. Vertical for my C5โ€™s ... nonissue

How long does that ups run those devices?

With your hubs sitting so close together, do you worry about interference?

Time is shown in the pic ... 136 min.

I thought it would be a problem, but hasnโ€™t ever been an issue.

My ups lies to me so I tend not to trust the times on the display.

I had to shut the power off to the circuit this weekend to swap out a few switches. Time was fairly accurate, but agree itโ€™s mostly an estimate.
