Connecting to detached garage? (2019)

I know this has been asked before. But was hoping for some new devices to bridge the gap.

What are my options to connect my detached garage to my home? It is 100ft or so away. It has a metal exterior. My home is brick. There is a meter pole between the 2 that has a outlet on it already.

If I add a 2nd hub in the garage, will it talk to my first hub and control automations? Or will it only control the garage?

I’m not sure when the last time you checked was. There is an article in the community – created wiki on automating an outbuilding which covers all the current options.

Read that first, and then come back if you still have questions.

Thank you for the reply. After reading the wiki it seems not much has changed. My best bet is to try and setup a repeater midway between she’d and house.

Thank you for your reply
