I was looking at where to buy one and saw this review on amazon:

"Range unknown as I place it and an Arduino in a metal vacuum chamber
and control it from a tablet in the same room. Two way communication
is great and super simple to code - just serial communication. Give it
+5V power to get reliable communication. If you give it 3.3V, it will
transmit ok but drop received bits randomly"

Could be similar?
