Cannot force remove GoControl FS20Z-1 isolated contact

Question - Clearly the Z-Wave GoControl device is having issues with range/connectivity. Perhaps this is because it is not very good at working over longer distances. With that in mind, do you think there’s a reasonable chance that the Iris Smart Plug - located right next to the GoControl - will have better reception and pick up the ST hub much better, so that it can then be a repeater for the GoControl? Or do you think that if the GoControl has range issues in that spot the Iris is likely to have the same connectivity issues and not be of much use as a repeater in my case?

Very good question!

The GoControl device that you have is classic Zwave, right?

Any Zwave plus device (including the iris plug or the DragonTech) has a range about 50% farther than classic zwave.

We just had a community member last week who was having trouble getting zwave signal out to a shed in his yard and he added a DragonTech pocket socket inside the shed and was able to connect to the other Zwave devices in the shed after that.
