Executing Scene on multiple locations

I’ve read recently that the Samsung Connect Homes now work as Z-Wave and Zigbee repeaters… Might solve your problem.

Repeaters are repeaters, and only for the one network they are on. It doesn’t change the total number of hops available. (4 for zwave, 15 into the hub for the zigbee protocol that SmartThings uses and 15 out again.)

It’s not uncommon with certain types of construction, particularly cement or adobe, that you may require one hub per floor.

FAQ: Create an all-around z-wave presence in a 4,000 sq ft home?

Is there a way to create an all-around “z-wave presence” in my 4000 sq ft home? My home is not just a two story block home. It is a one story, spread out “ranch style”, so it really covers 4,000 sq ft on horizontal terrain. What I want to do is create a z-wave mesh that is available anywhere in my home, similar to my WiFi system. (In the WiFi case, I simply distributed Unifi AP-Pro’s throughout the home so that all spaces are covered.) So . . . how can I do something similar with Z-wave? I don’t want to worry about NOT having a Z-Wave signal available. I just want it to be there when/if I need it. Any suggestions and/or words of wisdom?

So at that point you are in A similar situation to automating an outbuilding.

As discussed in that article, You can use IFTTT, WebCore, or a LAN connected device recognized by both hubs like a Philips Hue bridge to cause events on one hub to trigger events on another. But there may be some lag and setup takes some thinking through. For a good night use case that may be acceptable. Have a virtual “good night” switch on one hub trigger a virtual “good night” switch on the other, and then trigger all the good night events off of those.
