Hi All,

Hope all is well? List is quiet nowadays :(

Anyways, I am trying to extend Z-Wave into the garden as I slowly replace
X=
10. I'm having trouble getting it outside the house boundary. I have 1
plug=
in unit on the inside of the wall, and another one in the conservatory,

neither will see a plugin unit located in the external box (about 5ft away=

So, I was looking at one of these.

It seems to have a longer range (200m) than the normal plugin units (100m)

but wanted to know if anyone has had any real world use of these units? Do

they actually work any better?

Thanks in advance.
