Here’s a quote from Emile, Oct 20th, 2022:

> For 433 MHz & Infrared, you can choose _per device_ whether to use Homey Pro or a Homey Bridge.

> It’s a nice idea to create multiple Z-Wave & Zigbee networks to bridge long distances. Technically & UX-wise quite challenging, so no promises.

Keep on requesting this feature @ homey.app/support I’d say.

Why not go for zigbee2mqtt + (W)LAN zigbee dongle. It’s all there, way less $$ than a Homey bridge 😊
