I have a strange issue. When I locate my homey directly against a fibaro double relay switch, all works fine. When I don’t (now 10cm appart), then Homey can receive commands like current usage (beNext energy switch), double relay switch being switched by hand etc, but I cannot send any signals to …

i am experiencing the same problems from the beginning on. However only with the expensive Fibaro multisensors. The cheap neo coolcam pir never gave me any troubles and also the door/window sensors from coolcam work perfectly. The only problem items are the battery powered fibaro’s. The normal fibar…

the reason why the greenwave node 6 responds so well is that because it is one big f… antenna. At least that is my experience as well.

Now Homey lost it’s range so it is required to be…

At first my Homey was functioning properly (bought it july this year), that is, I had no issues whatsoever and was very enthusiastic about Homey. Then all of a sudden Z-wave stopped working properly a few weeks back, got similar inconsistent results or no results at all. At that point I had reset t…

I have a small house with walls of a material that seem to absorb radio waves in high frequencies as used by Z-wave, Zigbee and Wifi. My Z-wave battery devices cannot reach very far either. I have had to put Wifi access points in 3 places in the house to get satisfying coverage. And I had to do t…
