Wireless technology isn’t always perfect, that’s why Aeotec makes Range Extender 7 – a simple plug and play device that works to perfect your home automation system.

It receives Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus signals, repeats them, and then rebroadcasts them to your Z-Wave automation network, boosting their range and reliability. The Aeotec Range Extender 7 works seamlessly to amplify and repeat weak Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus signals.
Simply plug it into a power socket, connect it to your Z-Wave network, and it automatically starts improving any poor Z-Wave signals that are in range.

Built upon Aeotec proprietary Gen7 hardware and firmware stack, it has a wireless range that’s up to 250% higher than Range Extender 6 and non Gen7 technology.

Aeotec Range Extender 7 is built upon the most advanced wireless automation technology available. It couples Aeotec unique Gen7 technology stack, with Z-Wave Plus V2 and 700 series. That allows it a massive range of improvements including S2 security and SmartStart installation.

The Aeotec Range Extender 7 is compatible with a lof of certified Z-Wave gateways.

What is Z-Wave Plus?

Z-Wave Plus™ is a certification developed to help users identify products that use the "new generation" also known as the "500 series" of Z-Wave hardware. Z-Wave Plus™ offers a bunch of extra functions and possibilities that improve your use and make the installation of Z-Wave devices easier.

Z-Wave has been the market leader in interoperable smart home devices since 2004. With the introduction of Next-Gen (Z-Wave 500 series) hardware, Z-Wave saw new opportunities, including longer range, longer battery life, Over The Air upgrade (OTA), more RF channels and much more. All this and they are backwards compatible with existing Z-Wave devices.

For consumers, home owners, integrators and service providers, this upgrade turned out to be very beneficial in terms of much easier installation, richer device profiles, improved self-healing and longer battery life.

Features:

50% Longer battery life
67% Longer range
250% More Bandwidth
3 F channels for improved interference protection and higher bandwidth
New Plug-n-Play network-wide inclusion process
Improved self-healing and fault tolerance with Explorer Frame function
Standardized method for Over the Air firmware updates (OTA)
Improved information for the product certification database

What is Z-Wave S2?

Z-Wave S2 is the latest generation of Z-Wave developed to reduce power consumption, faster commands between devices and increase security on the network.

Advanced encryption

S2 improves Z-Wave Plus and Gen5 devices with an extra layer of AES 128-bit encryption of wireless signals combined with security class UL 1023.

Increased security

The first two layers of security are joined by a third - Always-on ECDH key exchange, which makes man-in-the-middle or brute force hacking almost impossible.

Better battery life

ECDH and AES 128-bit reduce Z-Wave Plus wireless data transmission, security communication now uses 66% less battery.

Faster commands

Your smart home becomes seamless. S2 devices improve Z-Wave wireless performance speed by more than 50%, reducing latency down to milliseconds.
