I just want to express my disappointment concerning the receiving range of the Homey Pro. In many cases where HomeWizard and ICS-2000 are receiving signals, Homey Pro does not. Homey Pro promises 1,5 better reception, so how bad is the old Homey? Extending the receiving range with satellite bridges …

[image] Heula: Homey 2019 is useless for that Nope. Check out the set of Homesh apps! You can pair your KaKu stuff to the 2019 and control the flows on the 2023, and let the 2023 control the KaKu devices on the 2019 :upside_down_face::partying_face: [image] Homesh Controller | Home…

I had these apps installed but did not know this. Now it is too late because I sold my Homey 2019 for a fair price.

I fully agree with Rmb. For the last 5 years, I used Domoticz on a Rasberry Pi, connected to RFXtrx433 hardware from rfxcom.com . My Kaku and weather hardware, all working on 433 MHz, worked rather good in my large house. Since implementing Homey Pro (2023) I noticed a short range for the 433 MHz s…

Did you try placing Homey upside down?

Yes, and also placed to the wall (so vertical) and turning around to find the best position. Probably too much RF noise inside the Homey with processors and antennas so close to each other.

It might help to add a wire to the 433 antenna. That works from both sides: I soldered a wire to a KAKU light sensor antenna (inside the AWST-6000) and wrapped it a few rounds into the housing and it now works flawless. So it might help to add a wire to the 433 antenna in the Homey Pro '23. If only …

@Lacobo Adding just a wire as an antenna is not the best way. It depends on the length of the wire if it works or not. As far as I know the antenna for 433Mhz should be 6.5 inches, or 16.5 cm.

Thanks for the info Mike. Still haven’t decided to do the mod.

Similar issues here, but reception seems to differ per type of Klikaanklikuit device. I have very, very old devices, hidden on the 3rd floor under my home roof, that work perfectly. Because they worked perfectly with Homey, I bought some brand new power plugs (APC3-2300R) that are installed with 3-5…

This should help (but a bit sad that it’s needed): [image] Update: Bought the thing. It’s capable of resending the signals of up to 6 KAKU senders (switches, sensors etc.), but it does this rather slow. About a second or two after a switch is pressed the signal is repeated. This makes that somethi…
