Hello all,
I'm building out my network, and getting to the point where I'm adding new nodes that won't be able to talk to my controller directly. I was wondering what methods people are using to add nodes when they get to this point. Batter devices should be fairly straightforward (add near controller, install, then optimize) but what about hard wired devices?
Today, I added a wall switch that couldn't see the controller. Of course I found this out after I had wired it into the wall. Luckily, I was able to move my controller (a Z-Net) closer to the new device and add it that way. I also tried using a Z-Stick I have lying around, but was not successful at adding it to the Z-Stick then moving it to the Z-Net (not sure why, but the fact that they have the same Home-ID might have something to do with it).
Should I be able (in theory) to add devices to my Z-Stick, then transfer them to the Z-Net? This seems like the easiest way to add devices in my particular situation.
Thanks!
