In HA BLE uses mesh networking, so one motor connects to the other, sameway as the hub does.

I don’t think Homey is mesh aware.

@B3rt

HA detects all BLE motors but homey not, devices on the first floor are barely detected by homey BLE.

I am pretty sure that is just down to Homeys BLE range being poor. One of my ESP32 hubs is also next to Homey and that can reliably control all the devices on the ground floor where Homey struggles with all but the closest one. My ESP32 hubs don’t have any mesh facilities on them.

@B3rt

When a homey bridge is added as extra antenna to HP23 (on the first floor) is the BLE range of homey then also extended via this bridge or are only the BLE of HP23 itself used?

That is not available yet and not sure if or when it will be. I have a Homey bridge and it doesn’t do anything for the BLE range.
