Just trying to figure out the conventions, are most wired devices repeaters? I’m looking for 3 way switches and some brand explicitly say they are while others don’t.
not an expert but I belive that’s the whole point of z-wave that any z-wave device can pass along a message from between 2 other devices.
I too am not an expert, but my understanding is that all z-wave devices act as repeaters when not “sleeping”. The only reason for a device to “sleep” is if it is battery powers, so then it would see any hardwired device would act as a repeater. The thing I don’t know is if it is part of the spec and required to be able to license z-wave.
