I’ve got several Legrand/Netatmo smart sockets working fine with HA, but I want to install a new one which is outside the range of the current lot. (It’s a large, sprawling house with thick stone walls.) I can do it easily enough by installing more Legrand smart sockets in between, since each one seems to act as a Zigbee repeater - but they’re about EUR 50 each here in France, and I’d have nothing to plug into these extra sockets that I’d ever want to control remotely - so they’d just be permanently on and used occasionally for the vacuum cleaner!
So I was wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper way? Some kind of Zigbee repeater that’s compatible with Legrand?
Some zigbee coordinators can be flashed with repeater firmware, but it’s a hassle and price isn’t that much different.
I think all zigbee mains plugs route, so look for a lower spec cheaper one, buy one make sure it works well enough, then but more and never plug into them.
Hi, Do you solve this? I also have this problem and there is no way to bridge from my house to the garage via devices, that I can think of as it is underground and distant from the house. However the garage has ethernet and wifi, so I was thinking of putting some zigbee range extender in there. However, I can’t see the Netatmo Zigbee network on my HA Zigbee mesh, so no idea how to get this to work. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Dan
