Link to hub for valve and garage door opener

Let me tell my short story first. I started with just one hub and soon figured out that it only can directly connect up to 32 ZigBee non-repeating devices. Next step was to add few ZigBee wired devices and that seems to solve my problem, at least at the first glance. Unfortunately I faced limitation in such solution - if device is connected to the hub or directly but over few other mesh nodes I can not distinguish between digital and physical operation on the switch (well, took some time to investigate that :wink: ) and mi wife requires manual switch override. So, I added 2 new hubs that just run rule machine and master one with no radio but with all other rules, all starts working as expected except 2 things.

  1. Master valve exported from slave hub can not be added to safety monitor

  2. Garage door opener exported from slave hub appears only as garage door sensor. I can see it’s status but can not control the door.

Maybe anyone already fights this problem and knows solution ?

Thanks, Yuri
