Hello, I have a Homey Pro 2023. But I have no reception in the garden shed. I do have WiFi in the shed. Is it possible to add a Homey Bridge in the shed to extend the range? ---

Yes: 433MHz & IR signals (you can select if the Pro or bridge should send the signal) No: other signals (for now) Using Shelly Wifi gear in the garden shed is probably a better plan. Or Tuya/Lidl wifi-zigbee hub Maybe even a Hue bridge, but it needs an ethernet connection if I’m right ---

Het bereik van de Homey Pro komt niet tot achter in de tuin. Ik heb daar ook KlikaanKlikuit verlichting en een Somfybediening e.d. Deze kan ik nu niet via Homey bedienen. ---

I am in a chat with Homey Support and they are under the assumption that i have the option ‘choose antenna’ but i dont see the option in my Kaku Devices. Does anybody see that option? other than the explination of the support item Sattelite ---

It’s not implemented both ways yet, maybe that’s the issue you encounter. If I got it right, you cannot yet select an antenna for ‘commanding’ devices like push switches and remotes. > [@Addig Homey Bridge as a extender to Home Pro 2023?](https://community.homey.app/t/addig-homey-bridge-as-a-extender-to-home-pro-2023/77588/45): > > Here is the response: (in Dutch) > Het klopt dat op dit moment de Bridge nog niet als ontvanger gekozen kan worden. Development is hier van op de hoogte en dit is gedaan zodat je geen situaties krijgt waarbij beide de Bridge en de Pro hetzelfde signaal ontvagen en dus twee keer acties gaan uitvoeren. Er moet hier dus nog naar gekeken worden hoe dit opgelost gaat worden. Het staat dus wel op de roadmap maar we kunnen nog geen garanties geven of en wanneer en in welke vorm dit geïmplementeerd zal gaan worden. _Translated: It is true that at this moment the Bridge cannot yet be selected as a receiver. Development is aware of this and this has been done so that you do not get situations where both the Bridge and the Pro receive the same signal and therefore perform actions twice. So it remains to be seen how this will be resolved. It is therefore on the roadmap, but we cannot yet guarantee whether and when and in what form this will be implemented._ ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > If I got it right, you cannot yet select an antenna for ‘commanding’ devices like push switches and remotes. If I got it right Homey Pro doesn’t care if fe a pushbutton is received from the antennas of the Homey Bridge or from it’s own antenna… Only for transmitted signals you can choose the used antenna AFTER at least transmitting once. > **[Set up Satellite Mode for Homey Pro](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263667137052-Set-up-Satellite-Mode-for-Homey-Pro)** > > Homey Pro can connect to multiple Homey Bridges, extending your Zigbee and Z-Wave mesh while reaching more Bluetooth LE, 433 MHz, and Infrared devices throughout your home.Homey Bridge is designed ... > _💡 The device’s app must support Satellite Mode, and have transmitted at least once, before the Antenna-setting appears._ ---

I do not have that option at all I used for the AGST-8802 and 8800 Did i do something wrong at the install. ![IMG_8333](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/7/1776fc81199c45b2ce923acce98bc6ee5e74263e.jpeg) ![IMG_8336](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d89d023e30e78a92051b0bd9dc2a46e368d9871a.jpeg) ---

> [@Wayne\_Laagewaard](#): > > AGST-8802 and 8800 both are transmitters. You don’t have to do anything. Satellite mode is working automatically and Homey only listen to both switches. Homey doesn’t send for these so no antennas selection. ---

Makes sense, Geurt. However It is a bit odd you state something else than [Athom support did](https://community.homey.app/t/extend-range-with-homey-bridge/80066/9). Maybe the support person misunderstood the technician, idk.
