Z wave short range problem

Hello,

I have an issue with my z-wave devices in connection with the range. At the moment my server with the aeotec zwave stick and most distant zwave device is about 10m.

In near range everything worked fine. When I plugged in the device at the designated spot I have the issue that it gets online most of the time. Then I can power it off once. But not powering on again. It gets unavailable.

So i thought I will plug in another z-wave device on half the way.

At the moment I have 2 devices between the server and my most distant device.
Server << 2.5m distance >> zwave plug << 2.5m distance >> zwave plug << 2.5m distance >> zwave plug

I thought z-wave will create a mesh and send if it is to far away over other devices from the same network.

But with the z-wave devices in between it does not get any better. Am I doing something wrong?
I have already ordered a z-wave repeater to solve this issue, because this is super underwhelming.

Have you done a “network heal” after moving nodes to their final location? Which integraton are you using?

Hi, I have replaced the whole server into another room. I am now only 7 meters away and everything works like expected. Cant tell what was the exact problem. But it is solved :slight_smile: ty for your reply. and yes tried to heal and it failed immediately.
