Brand spanking new guy to home automation. I am in the process of building a new house and plan to use Homeseer z-wave switches extensively. I've done a trial run in my current house and in one weekend wired my whole first floor, fired up a few plug ins, designed a pretty nice HSTouch screen on an insignia 10in tablet, got email-txt working and also got alexa up and working. These forums are amazing and have made this a fairly fun and painless exercise thus far so I'm going to try and do a whole house next.
I'm estimating around 250 devices between switches, sensors and home security. I've read the max number is 232 per network but you can "bridge" networks.
I have several questions about this-
1) I think I know the answer to this but- each physical switch creates multiple "devices" in HS. Is my Z-wave network limited to 232 physical devices or the "devices" created in homeseer?
2)If I have more than 232 devices, how should I build the networks so they can communicate? Is this as simple as plugging in 2 Z-sticks? How, as specifically as possible, do I bridge them?
Thanks for your time and help.
