How to set up Zigbee Mesh in stone build house

[Eugenes 0]

I live in a very large french house built of stone. For Wifi we had to install 13 access points to get full coverage. I have been using Sonoff Wifi and now want to add Zigbee. My understanding is that I need to create a Mesh so that individual devices can communicate back to the Hub. What is the best device to use to create the Mesh, I am thinging Zigbee Plugs.  

 

Has nayone personal experience of dealing with very solid wall.

 

Many thanks,

depending on the software you can see which device is communicating with wich device

You can also use multiple zigbee sticks, that also depends on the software you use
