So glad I'm not the only one that has it working "as advertised"! :-)

bump - -

my biggest issue with zigbee is that you can not extend the zigbee network via hardwire. you are forced to wirelessly jump between bases.
meaning you have to find a good spot for the repeater where it
has good signal, and you have a power outlet for it, and it can be hidden.
those 3 requirements dont always come together.

why not let us hardwire them over cat5 . .


so my question is,
can i set up an XP8 with two way modules,
and have ZRP6's around the house that wire back to the
XP8. . each ZRP6 with its own ZM24 hard wired to it,
and from those local ZRP6's get two way information
from the XP8 . . so the ZRP6 would really just act as a hardwired
version of an extender . .

I will say no, you cant. Have you worked with a zm24 XP8 combo yet? Sometimes you can get a decent 100 to 200 feet of range out of one antenna when installed correctly

What is the current wake up time to connect to the system and be functioning?

I'm very curious, in this system I may not use 2-way features, but I do really need XP-8 to talk to the T2C for page jumps, if nothing else for flag tracking of sources.

i have worked with an XP-8 and multiple ZM24's recently.

in a large 2 bedroom apartment in manhattan i need one main ZM24 and one repeater.


im thinking about 10 bedroom home's where the rack is buried deep in the basement . .

very thick walls . .

Usually, I'm seeing 1-2 seconds. But every once in a while, it takes like 5 to 10 seconds to connect. Not sure why, but I'm going to play with antenna placement to see if I can solve that.
