Hi everybody,

I am not sure if this is the right board, but maybe someone can answer my question.

I have a Homey running which is steering a lot of devices via Zigbee in the house. Works fine.

Now I wanted to install Zigbee devices in my garden … problem: distance is too large. I tried to extend the network by installing a couple of devices in between… but the walls of our home are so massive that I do not get connection even if I place 1 (working) zigbee device inside and directly outside on the wall the other one … I don’t get connection.

WiFi somehow works outside … so is I possible to install somewhere outside a zigbee router (eg Philips hue)? In the end I get two separate Zigbee networks …  
Is it possible to steer both of them via Homey? Or is someone dealing with a similar problem and has some ideas on that topic?

Kind regards

Christian

Hi, thank you for your answer.  
Is the hue bridge app able to handle multiple hue routers?

Yes !  
At the moment I have 3 bridges registered in Homey.
