Open Range Homey Zigbee and Wlan antenna mod. [IMG_20181017_121733] The range is 40% better. :+1:

Very nice! This what mine looks like after the mod: [image] Mounted 4 antenna’s for Z-Wave, Zigbee, 868 and 433. Wifi is good as it is, so left it that way. Top half and ring still have to be mounted, had to glue some pieces… :slight_smile:

Would ik make any difference if the antennas were facing downward :thinking: then with the transparant top, would be great :space_invader:

I think it does. as far as i know, antennas mostly radiate the signals in a dome form, so sidewards and upwards. By putting it upside down, i assume the range to above gets less.

Wow. What an experience. Looks great. You need to have guts to do so

Or just some soldering skills, an old Homey and most important: plenty of frustration caused by the pathetic original z-wave antenna.

There is no difference on the z-wave antenna in between all Homeys. Sure will work, and also for sure the warranty will be completely void once you open it. Maybe before you go ahead with the antenna, try learn what could cause the slow response as well as look at your z-wave mesh here: https://de…

I’m a tinkerer and I’m fully aware of the warranty being voided once I’ve opened up my Homey; thanks for the reminder though :wink: I’ve been looking at the developer tools extensively over the last couple of days and I’ve followed the heal instructions multiple times. I do have a couple of mains p…

Then all I can wish is best of luck and look forward to hear from you once the mod is done.
