Hello people,

How can you test if a Zigbee Z-wave etc signal is strong enough in a certain room/area?

For ZigBee, you can buy an ESP32C6 board and install a sketch like this:

> **[GitHub - LogicMachineEMBS/Zigbee-Scanner: ZigBee Network Scanner](https://github.com/LogicMachineEMBS/Zigbee-Scanner)**
>
> ZigBee Network Scanner

With this sketch, you can view the signal strength and all nearby networks. You can identify your Homey’s network based on its PAN ID (you can find that [here](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee))
