Hello, I live in a three-story house and have various smart devices that connect via different protocols, including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave Plus, as well as devices that rely on IR, such as air conditioners, TVs, speakers, and curtains. I am facing coverage issues with a single **Homey Pro 2023** , as it only covers the Wi-Fi area. I would like to know if it’s possible to use one **Homey Pro 2023** with several **Homey Bridges** , for example, five in total, distributed across the rooms. My questions are: 1. Can I have one **Homey Pro 2023** and five **Homey Bridges** spread throughout the house? 2. How will the connection between the **Homey Pro 2023** and **Homey Bridges** work? Is it cloud-based or local? 3. If it relies on the cloud, I prefer a local setup. What options do I have for devices that can be connected to **Homey Pro 2023** to ensure complete coverage in my home? Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, ---

If you intend to use it only for Zigbee or Z-Wave, it’s not building it’s own mesh, it just acts as a quite expensive Zigbee / Z-Wave router, like almost any mains powered Zigbee / Z-Wave device. Imho you’d better just buy mains powered Zigbee / Z-Wave devices to extend the network mesh in that case. If you’d like to have learning-enabled satellite IR transmitters, you can consider using Broadlink RM3 mini, Or RM4 My RM3 mini connects through LAN here. And its not expensive.
