Zigbee Smart Plugs/Switches/Bulbs

The foundation of a reliable Zigbee mesh network.

Unlike Wi-Fi, the low-power Zigbee protocol used by most sensors requires a strong mesh to ensure every device reliably communicates with your Hub.

  • The Repeater Rule: Battery-powered devices (like small sensors) cannot boost the signal. Only permanently powered devices (like these smart plugs, switches, and bulbs) act as repeaters.
  • Strategic Placement: Placing these items halfway between your Hub and distant sensors will eliminate signal drop-outs and timeouts, ensuring critical security events are never missed.

By adding a few of these strategically, you future-proof your system's stability and reliability across your entire home.
