Perhaps you might be better of with a combination of [Zigbee2MQTT](https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/), MQTT and (i.e.) a [SMLight Zigbee gateway](https://smlight.tech/support/manuals/books/slzb-06xmrxmrxu-series/page/slzb-series-overview). You can import the devices into Homey with [this excellent app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-zigbee2mqtt/83214).

It does need some more work, but is much more scalable (and reliable) than Homey’s Zigbee.  
You can even add multiple Zigbee gateways with it’s own devices (for in a basement, garden shed, etc). And use them all in Homey together.
