Shoe Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 We've deployed a Core3 and I'm wondering about the Zigbee and Z-wave antennas directly under the solid top shelf of the top of the rack. The antenna are not pointed up at a 90. Anyone have thoughts on using an extension to put the antenna on top of the rack? Worth it or ignore it?

Cyknight Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 C4 has their own external one made for zigbee, which is cheap enough that I wouldn't mess with 3rd party wifi ones for 10 bucks cheaper: C4-AK-3M Zwave there's plenty out there, I'd go with one made for fibaro home (dual frequency). And yes, that would be smart to do (we usually try and plan to use a secondary controller if reasonable that isn't the main rack which is another option of course - make use of that core mounted behind a TV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yes it's well worth the hefty $25 Msrp price tag. I use them on all just about all of my installs where the main zigbee controller will be in a rack.

That looks better than I imagined. I was thinking just a cable, but it's the whole thing. Cheap at 30 bucks. I'll look for z-wave antenna. Do the Aeotec range extenders work with C4?
