Hi! How can I check that the Range Extender is working from where I put it? Homey treats it as ok and functioning once it’s added, even if I unplugg it. I’m trying to use it to put Aqara thermometer/hygrometer futher away from my Homey Pro (2023). Regards Leif

Isn’t the Aeotec device a Z-Wave device and the Aqara device a Zigbee device?

In that case, it may take some time before Homey sees it’s unplugged, until then it will show as functioning.

Ok, thanks! Haven’t used Development Tools, how can I interview on it? Online is ?, Receive When Idle got a check mark. Leif

I understand ping, what is interview?
