December 20, 2025Dec 20 Hi. I have EISY w/Zwave-Zmatter dongle. Both are on most current firmware versions. I also have UD Mobile @ current. I'm long time Insteon user (150+devices) and am experimenting with Zwave. I gave up on Zmatter (too immature still) and have several Zoos 800 LR devices. I've included them. I'm disappointed in the range. I've moved dongle to less 'wall constrained' location (using USB 2.0 enable cable) to get it physically away from the EISY and associated other metal distractions.The Zooz Zen04 800 LR acts like a non-LR device. Is there anyway to actually tell if it's included as LR. When I added it, I used the OCR method, on UD Mobile as it was recommended by others on the forum, but I'm questioning if it really included as LR.Any quick methods to confirm ?Thank you in advance Scott

December 21, 2025Dec 21 Looks like UD has released an upgreded version of the Dongle. The original was not LR.
December 21, 2025Dec 21 I am not very familiar with Z-Wave long range, but when I first added Z-Wave to my Insteon mix I had to use repeaters to get to more remote devices. As I have added more and more Z-Wave, the need has lessened.
December 22, 2025Dec 22 Is there not a way to see if the device provisions as LR in the device zwave details ?

I've searched the Forums, asked the various AIs, but can't get a clean answer. This is my current configuration of the zwave device in question:
