Z-wave long-range?

Do the current Ezlo hubs support Z-wave long range?

I was looking at the " ZOOZ 800 SERIES Z-WAVE PLUS XS OPEN | CLOSE SENSOR ZSE41 800LR" sensor, and the manufacturer says:

  • Z-Wave Long Range ready: extend the wireless coverage up to 1300 feet (line of sight) if your hub supports Long Range

So, can I use this specific sensor with Ezlo AND get 1300 feet?

If not, is there an Ezlo hub that does support this?

(Back in 2020, you mentioned you were waiting on a new chip).

Thank you.

Greetings, @robotman

Unfortunately, our controllers do not support Z-Wave long range yet, so at the moment please keep using the recommended distance of usage (30Ft maximum from the controller to ensure the connection)

we are building the firmware, ezlo will support the long range Z-Wave.

Hello @robotman.
We have long range in our test branch and testing it with different devices supporting long range and planning to release it in the next builds.
We will make a release of long range for our Linux based hubs in several sprints.

Do you have any ETA for Z-Wave LR? How effective will this be really on the 700 series chipset? How about new ETA for when will a new Ezlo Plus 800 be released?
