What does he do? in computers and accessories

It's expensive What's the point? There never seems to have been a problem in the house. I got them because the smart things' arrival sensors are going on and off all the time just sitting in the attached garage. I installed 2 on the ground floor around the garage. I don't see any improvements in the arrival sensor garage. There is no app to just walk around with your phone and check the range. I think you need to take a sensor with you and walk and stop every 10 feet

Pros
  • It's fun
Cons
  • Everything's great

Works great with Vera

I'm having trouble connecting to multiple exterior door locks. Was disappointed that my Vera controller couldn't get through. I was also hoping that my wired light switches would work as a repeater, but I was still having connectivity issues. These extensions connected to my Vera controller in 30 seconds and every device on my network started working within 5 minutes of finding these two extensions in my house. They're working great so far. Very easy installation. Buy them with your controller…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I'll add later

I have over 100 Zwave devices on my network around my house, guest house and yard. All sorts of things from blinds, lights, thermostats, locks etc. I've had dozens of them lose connection to my VeraSecure and support said I need some of these to boost and transmit the signal. So I ordered 4 of these. They added to the network super quick/easy. They've been working 100% since I installed them a few weeks ago and I finally feel like all the thousands of dollars I've spent on a smart home are…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Unfortunately . I couldn't get them to work.

I have a SmartThings hub. These repeaters thought they were connected to the hub, but the SmartThings hub never found the device. I've tried removing them from the network and reading them multiple times. Never got them to work. Contacted Aeotec support. They were able to reproduce the issue in their lab, but also couldn't connect them to the SmartThings hub. Seems to be firmware issues with these devices. The Aeotec firmware does not wait for a confirmation from the Z-Wave hub. It blindly…

Easiest Z-Wave setup I've ever experienced

I've had problems, or at least some difficulty, with every Z-Wave device I've added to my network so far - I usually end up plugging them in , but it was usually PITA for almost everyone. However, it was a breath of fresh air. Installation was easy and both repeaters were added in less than a minute. Plug 2. Click "Add Host" on the hub (I'm using a Zooz ZST10 S2 USB stick, connected to the Unraid server and transferred to the Home Assistant dock container) 3. Press the button on Device. Ready…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Useless features

Aeotec Z-Wave Range Extender does the job

I had some problems with the Z-Wave network with some of my sensors being further away from the Hubitat and not in range of other Z-Repeaters Wave (light switch etc.). I bought these Aeotec repeaters and they've done a great job and I'm getting very good response from sensors that were previously out of range. Before installing Aeotec extensions, motion sensors received many false alarms. If you have a lot of battery powered Z-Wave devices, we recommend you create your own Z-Wave mesh network…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Works great - ZWave network issue fixed

I have a number of ZWave devices. Switches, sockets and types of external power cords. (see my old reviews). Mostly Z-Wave with some ZWave plus. I had an alarm clock (GE) as a ZWave controller, then another alarm clock model (still GE), then USB stick + Raspberry Pi and HomeAssistant and now Samsung SmartThings (v3? latest version late 2018). The Samsung SmartThings hub is in a different location and I suspect it doesn't do very well as a Z-Wave transceiver in terms of range. In case you're…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Having problems

An interdimensional portal opens in the home of an ordinary Joe.

What can I say about these repeaters. When I started my home automation journey, I just wanted to boost the signal in the farthest corners of my home. You know better cover the door locks, the door sensors and maybe my robot friend. When they arrived I was ecstatic! I was so excited that I ripped open the package and threw the rest on the floor, venturing into the cat toy universe. When I opened the box, it seemed to me that the light of the gods themselves was illuminating me. I stretched out…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good product, suitable for repeaters

Incredibly expensive. Like all the rest of the HA-IoT junk. Do smart locks work? Unfortunately, having at least one is practically a requirement. Used on SmartThings v3 and Hubitat Elevation C-5. There are a million reviews for this product saying the same thing so I won't repeat myself. The product works. It does what the ad says. No, there is no obvious way to know if it works. You just have to believe that it is. No, obviously none of the hub manufacturers are interested in making these…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • So-so
