Does this device re-broadcast the received z-wave signal? I've recently learned not all devices do this.

No - typically battery operated sensors are not repeaters. Ones that plug-in or are hard wired to electric usually have a higher chance.

I am going to answer this here, since it's typical of me to browse questions before reviews and comments on reviews. After reading those, I see the answer is: NO. This is NOT Z-Wave compliant technology. It is only for use with some other system.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

No; this is not a Z-Wave device. This is a ZigBee device - I believe it conforms to the ZigBee Home Automation standard but I'm not 100% sure.

This device doesn't operate with wifi. It has a different wireless communication and requires a Z-Wave processor to make it operate.

Mine does that too. I think it mostly depends on your location and distance to the broadcasting station. I bought a signal booster but it didn't do a lot.

There is firmware to correct some bugs. It worked out of box, but occasionally required reboot. Only works with FTA channels.

Not to my knowledge. When the beam is broken, a wireless signal is sent to a dedicated receiver that gives off a chime. That's it. Even then, it works only about 75% of the time. I am still looking for a system that works 100% of the time.

You have to flip a switch to re-record the message. When it is on "On" it cannot be changed. It will play the same thing every push.

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

Yes - all zwave devices have a repeat function built into them - so that this is both an On/off outlet and a repeater.

The one you linked has a signal booster. The one I have does not (and it works fine without it).

Don't think so. It has no radio in it, it just sends signals to the main zwave switch using the traveler wire.

I presume, it is a passive amp, it just boost what signal it receives. If you receive both it should retransmit both. I would read the online manual first to make sure.

You need a z-wave hub for it to work doesn't have to be smart things. It will need a hub to tell it's been triggered

Bryan, I'm not an expert at any of this. Only once did I have any problem of this type. It came aboutafter I had re-set my wieless modem. I un plugged my radio for awhile and went back to defaultsettings . It found the signal and no problems since. I would check into the signal you are getting. ( if wireless) I'm still very pleased with this radio. It appears you are getting about the same advice Ted

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.
