Repeater kits extend wireless coverage by relaying radio frequency signals between the system controller and devices located farther away, helping lighting controls communicate across larger homes and buildings. Install repeaters within the system’s supported signal distances, and add multiple units in larger or more complex layouts to help address distance, dense walls, and noncentral controller locations.

For RA2 Select systems, place devices within 30 feet of a repeater, keep each repeater within 60 feet of another repeater, and use up to four wireless repeaters for larger applications. For Caséta systems, place the repeater within 60 feet of the smart bridge and use an outlet in an area affected by the home’s layout or dense walls.

Identify the lighting system family and its central controller first, then choose a repeater designed for that platform, since RA2 Select, Caséta, and RadioRA 3 use different system components and are not interchangeable. Check the system’s compatibility information for supported repeaters, device limits, and required bridges or processors, and confirm that the repeater can be placed within the specified RF distance of the controller and other devices.

Compare whether the kit uses a power adapter for outlet installation or Power over Ethernet (PoE) through an injector or switch, and whether the repeater communicates wirelessly or requires a hard-wired Ethernet connection. Also review the included mounting hardware, such as shelf, ceiling, wall, recess, or junction-box adapters, to match the available installation location and coverage plan.
