Hi, I am integrating away from 2 Wink Hubs I used one 1 property but in 2 buildings that are fairly close together. It worked very well. I thought I could use 1 Z Wave hub and have had pretty good success. It is an Aeotec USB stick in the R Pi. All my hard wired switches are working great but I can not get signal from a Schlage lock which I find surprising. Any suggestions on if its possible to use another hub, R Pi, or a pure signal repeater? I know the lock is battery operated but surprised its not connecting through any of the near by and numerous hard wired switches.
There’s a limit of 4 hops from the controller, so trying to make two buildings work with one controller may be hard.
You could try connected mains powered Z-Wave devices to bridge the gap.
Hithank the reply…this is what I have done, plebty of hard wired devices that work, but just cant get this device to hop, it wanrts to connect direct and cant, I guess…is there a way to manually configure the connection path?
Z-Wave devices don’t care - they’ll connect directly if they can, but will go direct if they can’t.
If it won’t connect then it means there’s no signal for it to connect to 
Of course, non Plus Z-Wave devices are far more tricky to get connected - you have to connect them by the controller, then relocate and run Heal on the whole mesh.
I’d suggest you head over to the #zwave channel on the Discord server where you’ll find folks who know Z-Wave really well.
okl check that out, they are all z wave plus devices.
