Hi, Any updates on this one? I have a HP23 + a H-Bridge that i wanted to use as a satelite/signal repeater to get better coverage for all my devices. However - following this link adding the new bridge and connecting it to the same wifi it seems to me that it just shows up as an extra standalone device and dont say anything on beeing in satelite mode or showing in some way that it is beneath the HP23. (ive got 2 HP 19 on other locations as well). Something im missing / anyone have a tip? Brgds Håvard ---

I believe this is it - currently it simply appears as standalone Z-Wave device in the dev. console and you can also choose for example antenna settings for IR devices. That’s how you can see it’s working/added as bridge… the rest will come later (eg. ZigBee repeater) ---

A little strange but thanks for your insight regardless. Would think it should be easy to get the UI to show in a simple way that the device is now a satelite. Hopefully @homeypro can drop a few lines of code on it later on:-) Ill check out dev. meanwhile H/ ---

My solution is to use an rPI with a z-wave-stick running Home Assistant. ---

I believe this is still not implementedy by Homey. I also bought an Homey Bridge to work as a satelite for Zigbee (long distance remote location which is just to far away for Zigbee repeater to work). After the Homey software upgrade of a week ago this still does not work. Originally Homey said this functionality was coming Q1 2023 but was then postponed to Q3 2023… If somebody knows more when this well be implemented, this would help me a lot… ---

Technically & UX-wise quite challenging, so no promises. What IS on the roadmap: the bridge as zigbee _repeater / hop_, simular to what’s already implemented with zwave. As soon as it’s implemented, you’d find the bridge as an ordinary repeater/router in the zigbee page: [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee) It becomes part of the Pro zigbee mesh, and zigbee only.

I don’t think so. “The just-connected Homey Bridge will automatically join Homey Pro’s **Zigbee** \* and **Z-Wave** network as powered repeater, strengthening your mesh network of both wireless technologies.” But 433 and Infrared does. “Homey Bridge can also act as a transmitter for your **Infrared** and **433 MHz** devices. You can choose per-device whether to use Homey Pro itself, or one of your Homey Bridges as antenna.” > **[Setting up Satellite Mode](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263667137052-Setting-up-Satellite-Mode)** > > Homey Pro (Early 2023) can connect to one or more Homey Bridges, to extend the wireless coverage throughout your home. > > To set up Homey Bridge as satellite, Homey Bridge's LED Ring should breathe b... ---

I don’t believe it does unfortunately. This is a feature id love for them to implement. Right now its not so much Satelite, its more just a extender for Zwave / Zigbee. )433 it works like you want it to.) I have a shed on my property on the same network / wifi as in my house but too far away for any Zigbee / Zwave device to reach, and I cant use the Satelite the way Id hoped it would work since it only extends the signal… ---

With update v10.1.0-rc.2 zigbee should be available as a repeater. Should the bridge be visible in the zigbee nodes after this update? I can see the node for zwave but missing the node for zigbee in the overview on the tools page. **Satellite Mode** - Adds functionality that enables Homey Bridge to act as a Zigbee router. ---

Yes - like in the ZWAVE. Just to be sure, you have setup Homey as satellite, right ? ---

I just bought the homey bridge to extend my homey pro ZigBee network. I am extremely disappointed as no difference I can see in my homey pro range !
