Bridge ZigBee via Cat5

[wuf68]

Is it possible to bridge my project between two structures on my property which are 100 yds apart? I would like to share my audio vide etc which I can do through my a/v distribution but would like to have a local zigbee receiver and bridge that signal back to my main closet via cat5. Is this achievable?

Thanks

Yes, I have done an install in which three buildings were 300' apart, connected by 5Ghz wifi bridges. Each location has it's own zigbee server, but is part of the overall project. It works fine.

When you say ZigBee server do you mean its own 300? I already have cat5 in conduit between the structures for internet sharing etc. Thanks for the help

You could use an HC-200 to provide ZigBee in the remote building.

Yes, each locations have their own controller acting as zigbee server (the project is on 1.7.3.68 if I recall). Two locations have 300s, one has a 200.

Thanks all for the help.... one last question... Do you set up the zigbee in the remote location on a different channel so there is no risk of contamination?

Yes, at that project I used 14 in the middle, 10 on one, and 12 on the other.
