Zigbee extension to outbuilding with SLZB-06 possible?

Hey,

I've got a c5 hub and live on a farm. I'd like to extend my zigbee network to a garage that is too far away to be extended easily with repeaters etc. So I'd like to use some kind of ethernet bridge for it. I have a cat5 hardline connecting the two buildings.

This device: SMLIGHT SLZB-06 seems like a slam dunk - but I don't want to pull the trigger on it unless it has been done before with Hubitat or is compatible. I see that there is quite a lot of info about how to do it with HA... but I certainly don't want to go there. If I took the time to set up an HA instance to get it to work - I could just as well spring for another Hubitat hub... but that seems like overkill and lots more money. :slight_smile:

Thanks

It is not possible to use external Zigbee dongles with Hubitat.
You could search for a cheap second-hand HE hub and then network the two hubs using Hub Mesh.
