Extending the zigbee range outside of my garage door
I would like to use a zigbee remote (thirdreality smart button) to control the garage door. With some experimentation, I am beginning to realize that my old 90s garage remote from out-performs my zigbee setup, by far, in terms of reliability and range. My main zigbee coordinator with a ZBT-1 dongle is located in the room adjacent to the garage, placed right next to the separating wall, and initially, I placed a zigbee repeater (a plug) in the garage as well. I was not able to consistently open the garage door even standing next to the garage door outside – from the inside the house, no problem though. So, I purchased this zigbee range extender. This range extender is small, but the loop at the top of the extender will interfere with the 3 prong connector, but not 2 prong connector. I experimented with plugging the extender to the wall outlet, but currently, on the ceiling outlet, facing the garage door, appears to be better. This extender does provide a much better range and signal strength than a simple zigbee plug/repeater, but not entirely sure it meets my need.

Works as expected, easy setup and good quality

Not as impressive as Iâd Hope, But did help a great deal
I may change this review later as Iâm still refining my Zigbee mesh, and its current position low to the ground might also be the reason.But for the hype it was given I donât really think it adds as much as they claim. Now Iâm already running a custom built EFR32MGM21 PoE running as my main coordinator. Even with its power and reach I was still loosing alot of end points that were not easily accessible. This runs a similar chipset with and EFR32MG21 per there specs and Iâm still getting dead zones. I was impressed that a lot of the devices that were already repeaters but had other functions like my LEDVANCE bulbs. And the RSSI and LQI all looked great. But Iâm still getting Aqura Windows/Door, Water, and a Temp Sensors drop from the mesh again and again. Even though the all say Zigbee 3.0. They all donât cut the grade.So Iâm going to say this is probably worth the money as it can hold and repeats a lot of sensors. I would like to see some ESPHome.io and Home Assistant support as well. But over all it has made things better. I still have a higher gain antenna for my coordinator which is going in the rafters. But I also need it to reach around 2 acres of land and under my house where our Well Main Shut off valve is which Iâll be putting in when I get the chance. It too runs on Zigbee so weâll see how that works. Eventually Iâll try and review what I can as far as Zigbee and its standard as we move into the more Matter based devices as well. But if your anything like me. You wonât be happy until you have your holodeck and a computer that actually talks back and is relevant.I may test it at a different plug and circuit and see if that makes a difference and will try and update with those resultsOne thing that I thought was interesting although I havenât tried it is a little nub with a screw hole in it. Itâs plastic so I canât see how it would do anything running it to the wall plate screw other than to secure it in place so it doesnât get knocked out. That if it works will push this up to the 5 start level for anyone who has pets or little ones.

UPDATE from EARLIER REVIEW
REVIEW CORRECTION!!! I left a less than stellar rating for this purchase early this morning, due to multiple shipment issues and communications believed to be from Amazon and from Amazon tracking that turned out to be just wrong. There’s no way to tell if it was due to the seller or Amazon, but I think it was on Amazon. It arrived today, four days ahead of when the last communication said it would arrive.Set up was easy. It appears to work. I’m very happy! I hope my previous review can be removed.
