There have been a couple of previous threads on this with staff responses. At the present time, only one of the hubs will have the zigbee/zwave radios activated, so, as you expected, it only extends the Wi-Fi at the present time.
Do the Connect Home Units (say you bought a 3 pack) work as z-wave repeaters? I purchased a 3 pack and transfered all my devices over to the new SmartThings Hub which I’m assuming is inside the first Connect Home. I am not seeing better performance (in terms of range) in my Z-Wave network. Each connect home says Z-wave on the product sticker so it would seem that they would all have zwave radios in them not just the one that acts as the primary controller. Is there a setting I need to turn on.
If this is not the case why? It seems very logical that if you needed this system for coverage in your house you would need extended range for your Smartthings Hub z-wave and zigbee devices in addition to WiFi.
