Question how does the Zwave mesh work ? I have a rather stout Zwave network in the home and I have just expanded it into our rather large front yard by powering a ZSE-70 (still not sure why that is not showing up as a repeater/router now that it’s mains powered) and beyond that in the center of our main yard I have a ZOOZ Toggle Dimmer which will be connected to a flood light for a flagpole. For now I have it connected to a enclosed outlet that has a TP-Link Range Extender for some testing. I noticed that the ZSE-74 will not pair with the coordinator unless there is a LOAD connected to it for some reason.
Anyway we have a couple of 4 button remotes (looking for something more durable like a car remote) we use to turn outside lights on and off. Do devices BIND to a router when first paired or can they roam around and communicate with ANY repeater/router that is paired to the system? Once all the electrical in the yard is totally complete I expect to have at least 3-4 mains powered devices out there which should be MORE than enough with the wide open space and very few sparse isolated pine trees.
