Z Wave topology

Is this good or bad? Some of my motion sensors are at 9.6k. I have a repeater in all 4 corners of a 1600 sq st single level home.

Normally you’d like to have more repeaters (mains powered devices) but I only see a couple of devices at 9.6. More repeaters may get you faster responses, but if everything is working the way you want it....

It might help if the repeaters are somewhere between the hub location and the corner of the house. They will have a better signal to repeat.

Are your devices working correctly? If so, you shouldn’t worry too much.

(BTW, Blue on the topology map means there is a connection, so the more squares are blue the best.)

When the Aeotec repeaters blink green - does that mean they are repeating a signal? I have never had good luck placing a repeater more than 30 or so feet from the hub.

Don’t have any of the Aeotecs but the default for the Aeotec 6 is to blink a green LED for 2 seconds when it relays a Zwave message (the 7 doesn’t document any behavior).
