Effective Range, Coverage Extension & Integrated Automation
• Each Gateway can control up to 128 devices at the same time.
• The maximum effective distance between the Gateway and the smart light is up to
40 meters (in open areas) and 20 meters with obstructions.
• Each Bluetooth Mesh downlight/bulb creates a mesh network around itself and
extends the signal coverage of the gateway for about 10-30m (up to 30m in open
areas).
• The signal can be repeated/extended up to 8 mesh points (the furthest distance
that can be reached is by repeating the signal for 8 times/through 8 lights).
• All other Kogan SmarterHome Bluetooth Mesh products (such as security sensors,
door locks etc) can connect to the Gateway via the extended mesh created by the
Bluetooth Mesh downlights or bulbs.
• These sensors are commonly used together with the light to create automated
scenes (when a PIR motion sensor detects movement it turns on the light etc.).
