I am in the process of building a large-scale residential bungalow in Navi Mumbai, India. The structure is G+4 (Ground + 4 floors) with a total of 9BHK. I intend to automate the entire property, including the ground floor, using Homey Pro as the central hub.

​To ensure a robust and reliable installation, I have the following specific questions:

​Multi-Floor Strategy & Hardware Placement:

​Given the RCC construction across 5 levels, what is the best strategy for hub placement?

​Should I install a Homey Bridge on every floor to maintain a strong Zigbee/Z-Wave mesh, or can the Homey Pro handle this through a WiFi mesh backbone?

​Network Integration (TP-Link Deco):

​I will have a TP-Link Deco Mesh WiFi system on every floor. How does Homey Pro interact with a mesh WiFi environment, especially when moving between nodes?

​Is it recommended to connect the Homey Pro via the Ethernet Adapter for maximum stability in such a large setup?

​Device Capacity & Performance:

​With 9BHK, the total device count (switches, sensors, curtains, and lighting) will likely exceed 100-150 units. Can a single Homey Pro handle this volume without latency?

​In a multi-floor setup, how does Homey handle “Zones” for easy navigation in the app?

​Regional & Operational Queries:

​Are there any specific Z-Wave frequency considerations for the Indian market?

​Does the automation logic (Flows) run locally? This is crucial for us in case of intermittent internet connectivity.

​I want to ensure 100% coverage from the Ground Floor to the Terrace. I would appreciate your technical recommendations on the ideal architecture for this project.

​Best regards,
