Using a repeater (router) with the coordinator #45

Open ayavilevich opened 6 years ago

I am using a CC2531 with the ZNP firmware and zigbee-shepherd. I would like to extend the range. What would be the easiest way to do that?

I understand that zigbee is a mesh network and that some devices will forward events/messages across the network. Can I get another CC2531 and flash with an "repeater" firmware? Should I get some off the market ZHA socket that would do the trick? Once I get this device, is there a special process to link it with the coordinator?
