Hi.
I believe providing a 100% reliable network is a key to a good operation. How do you manage to provide 100% Z-wave coverage through entire house or even large complex buildings? One single USB stick could not go across 10 floors in a house with thick concrete walls I guess. My server is located in a basement inside a iron rack case which makes is even more challenging.
My sistem kinda works, but sometimes I'm getting strange delayed behavior. Icons for some random devices will turn to Unknown state (red circle with ?). LED light on Z-wave me UZB will light continuously instead of just blinking when talking to devices.
So what are the options to provide real good coverage.
- To install (secondary, slave) USB stick in every floor, using USB-LAN extenders?
- To install range extenders/repeaters like (https://aeotec.com/z-wave-repeater/)
I also read that all powered devices (not battery ones) such as plugs, switches act as a repeaters too? Is this correct? Is this by default or do I need to enable it somewhere in HS or device itself.
Thank you for clearing up this for me!
