What country / regulatory region are you in? With Z-Wave, non LR, in the US, with 800 series devices and USB stick (properly extended on an extension cable) or 800 series devices meshed to each other, I sometimes struggle to get a connection at a range of 20 feet or so, with a single ordinary drywall + wood wall in the way or even sometimes line of sight. LR is better, but not fantastic.
- Marsymars 2y agoI'm in Canada, so same frequency/power as the US, AFAIK. Using a HomeSeer G8 on a Home Assistant Green with a USB extension cable. I can't really speak much to the range - it's been enough for the handful of devices I'm currently using, which are all Shelly (rebranded from Qubino) mains-powered Z-Wave devices. 20ft doesn't sound necessarily unreasonable though with a wall... I wouldn't expect Zigbee/Thread to perform better with comparable devices. I haven't found any of the low-power mesh networks to have especially great range when not taking advantage of the mesh.
