HC3 range to support nice 433MHz devices

[andras75 0]

Hi, 

 

I have few Nice Next Solar BD tubular motors and I can manage them with the Nice Era BiDi remote controller, but unfortunately I cannot integrate all of them into HC3, because these motors use 433MHz and it seems the HC3's range cannot covers the whole house, the front and the back shutters cannot be managed at the same time.

I tried to move the HC3 to another place (the center of the house), but it doesn't help, some windows still have connection errors.

Could you suggest any solution or product e.g. range extender or repeater for Nice 433Mhz or for Fibaro HC3?

(solar motors are independent closed devices, doesn't have any wires, or physical connectors)

Hello, I've searched for the same solution you did. Do you have found a solution to connect the Nice Solar motor to the HC3?

Hello,

No, I didn't found any solution. Unfortunately, the official support team told me that there aren't any official 'Nice' range extender for these solar motors (and for HC3) and suggested to  buy another controller e.g. HC3 Lite and use as 'slave' device to manage the remaining motors which are out of the range. 

But, I rather bought three simple tube motors with a z-wave controllers (It was cheaper and more stable solution)
