Aeotec Range Extender 7; Zwave Extender and Repeater, Z-Wave Plus 700 series, S2, Smart Start (ZW189)

One technology that has made Z-Wave the leading standard for home automation is its use of mesh communication. With it, Z-Wave devices talk to each other, relaying their communication across the network via other, mains powered devices. Z-Wave devices communicate this way, as do Z-Wave hubs. But you don't always have a mains-powered Z-Wave device exactly where you need it, so mesh networks can end up with dark spots and you can encounter poor performance. Range Extender 7, a dedicated Z-Wave repeater and amplifier, solves Z-Wave networking issues. Installed in areas of weak performance, Z-Wave devices will automatically route their communication via it. Range Extender 7 will then amplify and repeat the signals on through the rest of your Z-Wave network or send those signals direct to your automation hub. Wireless ZWave Repeater - 250% further wireless range. Amplifies and repeats weak signals boosting the range and reliability of weak Z-Wave / Z-wave Plus devices. 50% Faster Z-Wave Communication. Built upon 700 series Z-Wave Plus v2, Aeotec Range Extender 7 offers stable performance and achieves seamless automation functionality. Security System 2 compatible. Range Extender 7 can amplify and repeat signals from security and safety devices, including door locks and smoke sensors.
