I have a detached shed about 300 meters away from the house and need to figure out how I could extend my zigbee network so I can have some sensors there...
I do have ethernet and a wifi hotspot running in the shed.

 

Do I need to be running a separate Zigbee2MQTT instance or is there some other approach I could be using?

 

Any advice would be appreciated...

I extended my zigbee network down the garden with some Hue outdoor lights. But to 300M that might be a little overboard.

 

A raspberry Pi is cheap. A second Zigbee network entirely independent from the first for the shed sounds like a much simpler idea





I work for a global Data Protection Software company - But my opinions are my own.

This product listing seems to imply it's possible to have multiple coordinators and one Zigbee2MQTT controller...
