After a few years of using my Homey (pro), I’m going to take the time to set up my Zigbee network from scratch and also to clean up flows. Yesterday I bought a Gateway Hub from IKEA: I’ve been using about fifteen TRADFRI devices without the hub for a few years, not always without errors or devices disconnecting. What would you advise me: add all end devices like bulbs to the Gateway hub first, and then to Homey? Or: add all devices directly to Homey? For example, does it still affect the processing power of either device? ---

Zigbee devices can only be connected to one controller, so either the Tradfri hub _or_ Homey, but not to both at the same time. Each device (Tradfri hub and Homey) create completely separate Zigbee networks. ---

I had (also) some problems with my zigbee network and bought this: > **[Signaal Extender Z-Wave Plus Gen 7 | Aeotec](https://www.robbshop.nl/aeotec-signaal-extender-z-wave-plus-gen-7)** > > Z-wave Plus versterker van Aeon Labs met een maximaal bereik van 200 meter Now everything is perfect! ---
