In the topic heading you added Z-Wave as a possible protocol, this is the reason why I suggested this nice Z-Wave Wall Controller… 🤷🏼‍♂️

In my opinion the HP23 has a great Z-Wave range. Most of my Z-Wave devices (79 pc.) are directly connected with the HP23 (please see [screenshot](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-z-wave-route-map/105763/14)).  
However, you have to try it out yourself to see if it works for you.
