Question
knuth 29
In the manual for the Switch 2 (and other devices; I am using the Switch as an example) installation is described with the following steps:
etc.
For step number 3 the manual states: "Place the Switch 2 within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller". At this point, both controller (HC2) and device (e.g. Switch 2) are more or less fixed in their locations. The switch is literally fixed to the wires in the wall box. The controller is active, connected to an outlet, and cannot easily be unplugged and restarted near the switch. Several other devices may already be included in the network, some of them presumably acting as repeaters. How do you handle this practically if the switch and controller locations are far apart? What is considered the direct range in a single story house? 3 meters? 20 meters?
