15 Wireless Range: This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the number of walls between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network. Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes which help eliminate "RF dead-spots". Things to consider regarding RF range: • Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote and the destination device will reduce the maximum range of 65 feet by approximately 25-30%. • Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden studs and plasterboard (drywall). • Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes will suffer a significant loss of range (approximately 20-25%) since the metal box blocks a large part of the RF signal.
