I was just wondering. I have a few door locks (5). They are Kwikset - and I love them, but by definition locks end up at the end-points of your home. (in my case my home AND my in-law unit in back.)
SO, I was wondering, (since my locks sometime have issues communicating) does ANY "routing/repeating Z-Wave device" route packets to the lock - even though the lock uses encrypted protocols but the mid-point units (light switch, GE appliance switch, etc) don't? I *did* buy a few Aeotec Range Extender/Repeaters (ZW117) and they *do* work well (especially when plugged into outlets that actually *face* the far points of my home) but sometimes aren't quite enough...
