I have similar experience, see here: [range problems](https://community.homey.app/t/range-problems/5644/13)

Fwiw, I’ve noted huge effect on how my temp sensors are placed. If they lay down they are useless, but standing up they work. Guess it is because antenna vertical polarisation. Got sensors from a brand with good reputation, and that works well now.

But still give up due to zwave and zigbee problems.
