Decided to jump the badwagon and also increase my Homey’s range, as it was very bad in it’s original state. I have a very recently build house which apparently is isolated so well, that the z-wave signal wouldn’t even reach upstairs. I followed above idea’s and the result is quite nice. I did damage the shell a bit when attempting to separate it, as it was glued pretty well and in the beginning almost impossible to get in between. But I just rotated that to the backside. I haven’t fully closed her up yet, pending some last work on the inside and/or some last adjustments if results aren’t as expected., but boy she does look pretty now. Almost like a real magical creature… ![IMG_4909](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/2/2db1792a87e672573ffb49cb12f908e06526651f.jpeg) ![IMG_4907](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/5/5b7e529f3ad7953c075307dffe0564b1bca790cb.jpeg) The back antenna’s are the 2.4G ones for respectively WiFi/BT and Zigbee. The Z-wave antenna is actually inside the unicorn horn. 🦄 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/modding-homey-pro-model-early-201x-antenna-modification/2928)._
