Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people having issues with the RF range for Homey. See for example: [Z-wave range of only centimeters](https://community.homey.app/t/z-wave-range-of-only-centimeters/4288/3) For me, this is a big disappointment. I should not have to buy additional nodes to strengthen a z-wave signal to a device that is only 5 meters from my Homey. My KaKu control station has no issues with ranges larger than that. So I really think it is a Homey specific issue, also judging the amount of people having problems with the range. I really hope this will be solved in the near future. I like Homey and am patient, but this is basic functionality that SHOULD work. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/range-problems/5644)._
