Add devices to homey out of range

Questions & Help
1

I have a Homey pro set up in my house. I have a garage that is not conected to the house and is a literal bunker. I have ethernet running from the house to the garage so I could extend my wifi network down there.

I want to be able to add devices in the garage which I can then add to my Homey Pro.

My initial idea was a homey bridge in the garage conected to the same network and that I could then hook up devices via the bridge. But that apparently won’t work for z-wave og Zigbee.

Do anyone have a suggestion to how I can do this? I’m thinking I need to find a hub that can talk to Homey via wifi or that has a cloud service compatible with Homey. Any suggestions would be appreciates.

With Homey bridge you can relay 433 MHz signals. That might suite your needs.

For instance Shelly (wifi) devices can connect locally (cloud = optional) to Homey per wifi AP in your garage. No need for hubs.
Oh, just FYI, Homey bridge can relay IR and Bluetooth signals as well.

If you havve ethernet you can place a hub (zigbee or zwave) inside the bunker. That should work.

For example a hue bridge directly on ethernet inside the garage
