2 RaZberry's - 1 Mesh Network

Post by CudaNet »

Hoping the experts can assist me here...

I don't have a lot of experience with the RazBerry but I'm really loving it so far. So, I now have [2] Raspberry Pi's loaded with a RazBerry board. Realizing that having a strong mesh network is critical, is there a way I can set these two units up separately but share a single mesh network ? I've always had a single controller so I'm not sure what's best practive.Hope that makes sense.

Any advantages/disadvantages to this setup ?

Thanks again in advance !

No, Z-Wave devices can only be connected(included) to one controller!

However in the online appstore there is an app that allows you to link to another RaspberryPi to get access to the devices controlled by this Pi. It does not give you the extra strength of combined devices. But you can devide your house in two ore more sections to overcome some RF barriers(reinforced concrete floors/walls)

You can include on as a secondary controller into another one. Use standard Include node on the primary and StartLearnMode on the secondary (first reset it to factory)

Excellent, thank you. I'll give this a try here in a couple of days.
