Hi,

I bought a Homey pro 2023 and would like use my Homey pro 2019 as a zwave slave. I installed the Homesh app, but also there don’t see the possibility for using it as a zwave slave.  
Many thanks for your help and suggestions.

That is of no use,  
Homey can’t do anything on the Z-wave network as slave.  
I guess it was possible to add Homey to another Z-wave network several years / firmware versions ago. But it can’t do anything there.

Thanks for you reply. I thought as a slave it would help relay messages, the same way zwave components do, but apperently that is not the case. How does that work when a homey bridge is used as a satellite? Does that work as an extra zwave relay?

Yes but I think a z-wave socket is cheaper

If it does the same, then that is certainly a cheaper option.
