Second Building Help

I need to extend Zwave into a shop. Today I have HA running on unraid, everything running in seperate dockers, including Zwave js at my house. I’ve already tried using outside Zwave devices as a repeater to get my Zwave network extended to the other building unsuccessfully.

I have a second ZooZ 800 series Zwave controller, but I need to plug it into something at the second building and then I will run a second instance of Zwave js for that location. Is there something that will work with this controller to make it network attached, or do I need something like a HomeSeer Z-NET G3 which appears to do what I want ?

From a network perspective, the actual network is already available between the two buildings.

The Z-Net is simply a RPi with ser2net installed. If I was in your shoes, I’d buy a Pi 4, an 800 series Z-wave dongle, and install Z-wave JS UI on the Pi 4. There are instructions on this forum.

Once you’ve done that you can add a new Z-wave integration on your HA device and use the WebSocket protocol to connect to the new Pi.

You can also do this on a Z-Net if you don’t want to assemble the parts.
