Hi there, I am trying to connect an Aeotec sensor to my Homey Pro via a Homey Bridge. (Via Z-wave) The Homey Bridge is on the same WiFi network as the pro and yet the sensor never sees the bridge, even when right next to each other. (I also don’t see the bridge as a zwave node on developer tools) If I move the sensor near the Homey Pro, it connects easily. I have tried turning satellite mode off and still does not work. Does anybody have any advice? Many thanks in advance. ---

It doesn’t work that way for z-wave: ![1000043012](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/290f5d2512896b456a88e1684ced6325d92fa7c5.jpeg) For z-wave & zigbee the bridge as sat is just a repeater, like any other light or plug. ---

Thanks. Yes, seems like it’s a waste of time. TBH it doesnt even act as a repeater for me. Anyway, I appreciate the reply.
