The Best Aeon Range Extender 6

You use Z-Wave to manage your smart home. You use Range Extender 6 to keep Z-Wave reliable. Aeotec’s Range Extender 6 works seamlessly to amplify and repeat weak Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus signals. Simply plug it into a power socket, connect it to your Z-Wave network, and it automatically starts improving any poor Z-Wave signals that are in range. As it’s custom desgined as a wireless signal booster, Range Extender 6 performs better than other Z-Wave devices that offer simply repeating; it amplifies the signal too. Designed to use Z-Wave Plus, unlike previous editions Range Extender 6 can work with advanced Z-Wave features such as encryption and security devices such as door locks while remaining compatible with older versions of Z-Wave. It repeats signals 250% faster than other signal repeaters and can repeat Z-Wave signals up to 492 feet away when unobstructed. Range Extender 6 is compatible with all certified Z-Wave gateways including Samsung SmartThings, Fibaro, and Mios Vera.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Will it work with Alexa?
Amazon Echo is not a Z-Wave controller so you will need a compatible Z-Wave hub to take advantage of this signal extender. It helps the Z-Wave radio signal only and is NOT a wifi or bluetooth extender
Alexa-compatible Z-Wave hubs include:

Versatile Compatibility: This Smart Plug is compatible with SmartThings™, Vera™, Wink®, Vivint™, Homeseer™, and Zipato® Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems.
Remote On/Off Control: As part of your Z-Wave® system, you can use the Smart Plug to turn lamps and small appliances on and off, either at scheduled times or in response to a triggered event.
AC Outlet and 2x USB Ports: The Smart Plug features a Z-Wave controlled AC plug, as well as two USB charging ports, with 1 amp and 2.4 amps of charging power. The USB ports are on only when the AC outlet is on, so you can use Z-Wave control to turn USB-powered devices on or off.
LED Indicator: An RGB LED indicates on/off status, Z-Wave network range, and power load.
