I believe these devices use beaming. More info on beaming can be found below. What kind of wired Z-Wave devices are you using as a repeater? @JDRoberts could add more.
@JDRoberts :
As I read more I’m realizing that I’m going to need a beaming device near the lock. I have light switches in the entry way so replacing one of those (which I’ve wanted to anyway) will be included in this job.
Looks like the GE 12722 supports beaming, but wanted to confirm that it’s level of support for beaming is sufficient.
Info:
Z-Wave Product Information
Supports Z-Wave Beaming Technology? Yes
Supports Z-Wave Network Security? Yes
Supports Z-Wave AES-128 Security? No
Is the lack of AES-128 security an issue?
Thanks!
