Thank you for the info! The Ring Range Extender seems like a good solution, especially if a z-wave repeater (700 series!) is needed for your z-wave network! It costs 29 Euro here.
Another solution for checking the presence of an ethernet mains powered device is this:

HTTP Presence Sensor for Hubitat
A virtual presence sensor for Hubitat that determines its state by trying to access an HTTP endpoint. If it gets good responses, it reports present. If it gets a few bad responses in a row, it reports not present.
Use Cases
Pinging a device (that has an HTTP endpoint) to see if it is on the house's wifi network. If that device is present, then it means someone is home.

It works great with my TP-link TL-SG108E cheap ethernet switch,
EDIT even better solution is Hubitat Ping :
Had a few minutes so I wrapped some driver code around the Hubitat Ping endpoint. Driver returns the data packet loss percentage, as well as the avg, max, min, and mdev statistics from the command as attributes.
As it takes a couple of seconds to run, there is also responseReady boolean that can be used as a trigger that the ping has completed.
The Ping Repeat preference allows an automatic periodic ping (defaults to zero which is disabled) - probably shouldn’t use a value lower 15 seconds to…
