ZWave Mesh with more than one hub

Looking for someone to confirm/deny my understanding of how Z Wave mesh works.

I just got a second Hubitat so I would have something to play with and not mess up all the wonderful things I currently have my main hub doing. I intend to use hub connect to integrate the two.

Is it correct that since Z Wave devices only support one controller if I pair a Z Wave device directly with the second hub it would in effect be in its own mesh and not be able to use the other devices as repeaters?

Seems like this is likely what would happen but wanted to verify.

Thanks

Correct, however you can use hubconnect app to have a fairly seamless integration between hubs. You'll still have two distinct Z-Wave meshes, but devices can be controlled as if they were on the same hub, by being shared thru hubconnect.
