Howmation's review
Honestly, the ZWA-2 blew me away! After years of struggling with dongles that barely reached the back of the garden, having an antenna that goes through my concrete block walls as if they weren't even there is unheard of. The Long Range truly works: sensors that no longer responded with the old controller now communicate perfectly.
Yes, it's bulky, but when you see the performance... For once, a smart home product delivers on its range promises! If you have Home Assistant and are fed up with Z-Wave coverage issues, go for it. It's exactly the kind of upgrade that transforms your everyday experience.
