I have a HomeTroller Zee S2 which is working well. I am looking at adding Z-Wave devices to my network that will be located farther away from the controller than any I now use. I'm aware of the mesh characteristics of Z-wave, however I'm interested in maximizing the range of the inbuilt Z-wave antenna provided with the HomeTroller Zee S2. Specifically, I now have my controller laying flat on a shelf. If I stand the controller on an edge (rotate the plane of the inbuilt antenna 90 degrees) will I extend or reduce the range of the unit? Will the change in range be directional? Putting it another way, what is the radiation pattern of the inbuilt antenna?
