Hello, can we use Homey Bridge as a range extender for Zwave?
I mean can it connect to Zwave devices and pass signals thru other frequencys (wifi for example) to my Homey Pro?
It will Act as a Z-Wave Repeater just like a Z-Wave Mains powered Switch / Socket.
Using Satellite Mode
Homey Bridge can also act as a transmitter for your Infrared and 433 MHz devices. You can use Homey Pro or one of your Homey Bridges as an antenna per device.
Thanks for quick reply, so it can not send and receive Zwave and pass it over wifi signal to my Homey Pro for example? It simply works as a Zwave relay?
Correct
I guess you’d write to support, or start a feature request topic, while it has been requested before:
Yeah. would be a great, that would extend the range drastically and that makes sense for buying Homey Bridge, otherwise its not a bridge, it’s a relay!

For certain protocols it is a bridge. And its original purpose was to bridge between a home and Homey Cloud.
So perhaps it should be renamed to “Homey sometimes a bridge, sometimes a relay, depends on the protocol that’s used”.
