Hello,

My workshop is located 15 or 20m from the house where Homey is located (50cm stone wall for home and workshop so I don’t even try the wireless range). I want to integrate some Z-wave or ZigBee module into it. The workshop is connected to the same internet network as the house (router after box).  
What can I put to retrieve the information of the modules that I will put? Is there a gateway that could retrieve this information, send it to the local network and be retrieved by Homey?

Thank you for your answers.

I think either a Philips Hue or IKEA gateway could work: they have a wired connection, can handle the Zigbee devices in your workshop, and have Homey support.

Thanks for your answer.  
I don’t find anything about the compatibility of the gateway with another device brand (like Xiaomi, aqara)

The [Xiaomi Mi Home app developer](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.xiaomi-miio/Xiaomi-Mi-Home/) states that he _“…added the ability to control Zigbee devices of Xiaomi gateway”_.
