Aeotec Range Extender 6 pairs as a Switch/Color switch


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I was rummaging around in my box(es) of Home automation stuff, and ran across an Aeotec Range extender 6. 

I really have not observed any real problems with Z wave coverage but decided to at least have it installed in case I later determined there may be some areas needing Z wave help.

I excluded it without issue, and followed the inclusion process lined out in the directions and it paired. A post pairing test function in the device report its health as "great".

BUT, oddly when eisy paired to it is showed as a "dimmer switch" with a range of expected dimmer switch functions, and also as a "color switch" again with a  range of adjustments of the 3 primary colors.!

Now, of course I can just ignore these as they will never be used, but I was wondering is this common or is there something going on that should not be?

It's not unusal to have extraneous nodes, you can ignore them. Create a folder called unused nodes and move the nodes into the folder to get them out of the way.

Thanks... I usually put them right under the device in the tree is a folder I call "extras"😉

Was just odd to ONLY see unrelated nodes and nothing else, but then as a repeater it really doesn't matter. Thanks for your reply.

I have a range extender 7 which only installed one node. You can try unistalling and reinstalling to see if the spurious nodes still show up.
