Do the lamps also work as repeaters if I have the bridge with them? I want to use them to make the outdoor lighting smart, but the lamp that is furthest away is probably too far from the bridge. However, if the bulbs act as repeaters, this should work as they are only placed at a distance of about 10 metres (furthest bulb to the bridge would be about 20 metres but through 2 walls.
I would like to know this before I buy 5 pieces.

Thanks for your help

Accepted Answer

Philips Hue forms a mesh network in operation with the bridge, according to the ZigBee standard. So yes, each lamp extends the network, but the bridge is a prerequisite.
