Hi,  
Tried to connect HeatIt Z-wave dimmers to my Homey. After some difficulties pairing them , I moved the Homey next to each of the dimmers and managed to connect them. However, when repositioning the Homey at its original location, it can only connect to the closest unit (5m) and not the second which is another 1,5m away.  
I’m a bit puzzled, beacuse I thought that Z-wave was capable of handling up to 3 jumps from the base unit. Am I overseeing something obvious here? Do I have to “force” the system to jump from one node to the other?  
Inputs are appreciated.
