We’re running a mix of zigbee/matter as the network’s been building out, but we’re needing to expand both into the subfloor and basement brewery. Looking at possibly needing a hub to extend the signal (yay 60’s brick and lead paint), anyone have any recs for Australia? I’m looking chiefly at Dialed In and while Tuya have several models they’ve rather shat the bed for me with their practises so eyeing off alternates.

    In my house, I put the hub near the stairwell, and have devices that can be repeaters nearby on each floor. This helps with terrible signal from my copper ceilings and plaster walls.

      There’s no interior staircase from the main house to the basement / subfloor, and the rack is in my office on the opposite side of the house to the brewery but I was considering using cheap RH/temp sensors to repeat the signal through. Which would take care of the sub floor, but still gonna need a hub in the basement brewery as that’s going whole hog.

    should add: We will be using this for integrating the clipsal WISER and some smart buttons / leak sensors as well as potentially rolling in some brewpi automation. HA integration as always
