Merge Z-wave Networks

[Marwan 0]

Hello everybody,

 I am kinda new to the whole z-wave thing, I just realized that i can't add more than 230 device to a single z-wave network. However, I can add slave controllers to the network. So will each slave controller will give me the ability to add extra 230 new device to the network or what. IF not what can do to extend the number of z-wave devices on the network or at least enable routing between different networks so that I get centralized control

 

Thanks in advance

If you are kinda new to the z-wave thing, how can you have more than 230 z-wave devices?

@Marwan

you can add slave controllers.

@Marwan 230 is a lot, 

i use more then 1 zwave controller because the distance is to far not because i have to many devices.

@akatar

So you are saying that the number of devices that could be in a z-wave network = 230 * ( 1(Primary controller) + (number of slave controllers) )?

@Marwan as far as i know: yes

@akatar
and all devices will be centralized for all devices from the primary controller?!!

It depends

with homeseer you see all devices in one list, there is no difference wich controller it is

with hc2 all devices are on the master hc2, all slave devices has a another colour, so slave 1 a bit yellow etc. you can create all scenes on the master hc2

with hc3, master/slave controllers not possible (yet)
