Hello,
I’m a new homey user and I have homey 2023.
I live on the top level of a building where I have Homey2023 and a Asus Router but I also have a room in the basement for storage that is too far away to have signal from my top place. So i managed to link that room from the basement with a CAT6 ethernet cable that goes into my router. I intend to put a second router or a device you recommend to have access to some sensors that i need to have in the basement for doing this things:
-a sensor that reads humidity & temperature (I intend to control a Wi-fi ready dehumidifier manually from his app based on the info from the sensor. The dehumidifier is not known by homey so i will do it manually via wi-fi. I also intend to buy some electrical heating device for cold winters if temperature goes below zero)
- a presence sensor for turning on my lights only when I`m around entrance (dark area there) . If it is possible the sensor only detect my presence not all building users presence (not very important this last thing)
The questions are:
1.Can zigbee work over ethernet cable. If yes, what wireless device/router do I need to put in the basement. 2. If zigbee cant be extended there, the wi-fi 2.4 ghz will do the thing?
If my sensors are wi-fi 2.4ghz type will they work in this scenario? Or they need to be seen by homey wi-fi antenna directly?
Below is the sketch of the scenario
Thank you!!
