Athom support replied to a user a while ago, it’s indeed only possible to select the _transmitting_ antenna for 433MHz in Satellite mode; Choosing / selecting which antenna should process a received signal from device Y is not possible yet. The bridge as Satellite can NOT be used yet as 433MHz receiver Here’s that particular post _ **in this thread** _ > [@wrutjes](#): > > Here is the response: (in Dutch) > Het klopt dat op dit moment de Bridge nog niet als ontvanger gekozen kan worden. Development is hier van op de hoogte en dit is gedaan zodat je geen situaties krijgt waarbij beide de Bridge en de Pro hetzelfde signaal ontvagen en dus twee keer acties gaan uitvoeren. Er moet hier dus nog naar gekeken worden hoe dit opgelost gaat worden. Het staat dus wel op de roadmap maar we kunnen nog geen garanties geven of en wanneer en in welke vorm dit geïmplementeerd zal gaan worden. #### In English: _ **It is true that at this moment the Bridge cannot yet be selected as a receiver** _. _Development is aware of this, and for now it has been built in a way it’s impossible both the Bridge and the Pro receive the same signal and therefore perform actions twice. So it remains to be seen how this will be resolved. It is therefore on the roadmap, but we cannot yet guarantee whether and when and in what form this will be implemented._ ---

On august 15 I got a response from support that this information is outdated. On august 18 I got the response “_433 Mhz is working on Homey Bridge in Satellite Mode, and you can choose it as an extra antenna to send and receive 433 Mhz commands.”_ I don’t think that is true. But how to convince support? ---

The satellite article @ support.homey.app also talks about the bridge can act as a transmitter only. I didn’t see any update or info about the _receiving_ possibilities yet ![Screenshot_20230822-024050_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/7/37495c77860778d8be38b211e3268ab4ad4f17f8.jpeg) ---

I agree. That is the information I have send to support. And which support says it is outdated. Why aren’t support tickets public? ---

I will wait for a moment for the response, but at this moment it was not working for me. Indeed the receivers have the option to select the antenna. ---

Okay thanks My Homey Pro doesn’t reach our garden house so I bought a Homey Bridge to put it there to control the garden house. I have got wired and wireless internet in the garden house. Should this work only with Infrared and 433 MHz or also with Zigbee and Z-Wave? ---

As stated in the support article > # Using Satellite Mode > > The just-connected Homey Bridge will automatically join Homey Pro’s Zigbee and Z-Wave network as powered repeater, strengthening your mesh network of both wireless technologies. > Homey Bridge can also act as a transmitter for your Infrared and 433 MHz devices. You can choose per-device whether to use Homey Pro itself, or one of your Homey Bridges as antenna. So you still need to have the Z-Wave and Zigbee mesh there but the bridge functions as a router for these mesh networks just like other mains powered devices. ---

Firmware 10.3.1 adds support for receiving 433 MHz messages via a Satellite. So that looks that de bridge will extend the 433 range by transmitting received 433 messages via WiFi to Homey. I have not tested it yet. ---

Can anyone confirm at this moment if a KaKu device which transmits a signal can now use the Homey Bridge as a receiver? I don’t have the bridge yet, but I don’t see advanced settings in general for my KaKu AYCT-303 ---

> [@Kyle\_Michiels](#): > > Can anyone confirm at this moment if a KaKu device which transmits a signal can now use the Homey Bridge as a receiver? yep, it is the advanced setting for the Homey Bridge that enable’s/disable’s the 433Mhz RF Receiver. for KaKu receivers you can change the transmitter used from Homey Pro to one of the bridges. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/9/593c0b1a52e46ccf87d3ad1e55f20e6ba47a6174.png) ---

So the setting itself is on the bridge? And the setting is not visible if there is no bridge connected then? ---
