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. > **[Setting up Satellite Mode for Homey Pro (Early 2023)](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263667137052-Setting-up-Satellite-Mode-for-Homey-Pro-Early-2023)** > > Homey Pro (Early 2023) can connect to one or more Homey Bridges.

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? ---

I guess you’d write to support, or start a feature request topic, while it has been requested before: > [@The new Homey Pro — Ask Me Anything](https://community.homey.app/t/the-new-homey-pro-ask-me-anything/70378/171): > > It’s a nice idea to create multiple Z-Wave & Zigbee networks to bridge long distances. Technically & UX-wise quite challenging, so no promises. ---

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! ---

> [@Vasiya](#): > > 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”.
