Valve - poor radio connection - is there an extender somewhere that increases the range?
I have a Smart Thermostat with 8 smart radiator valves. The valves further away from the relay have a poor connection, sometimes falling away, especially if batteries are older or if it is colder in the room. The relay is located in the middle of the rooms where the valves are located. So moving the relay is not an option, that would move the problem to other valves. I have also tried changing the orientation of the valve, but that does not work. One floor of the house I have not bothered with smart valves, because they are clearly too far away. Is there a range extender that works for the radio connectivity between the valves and the relay. I understand the connection between the relay and the valves are "long range" radio (and not wifi or bluetooth), so perhaps a proprietary product of Netatmo. (It is an old house with wooden floors and brick walls, but it is rather extensive).

I really do not understand why they not used Bluethoot 5 mesh feature, like VIMAR does. It is the real and simpliest solution. I have boths in my home and VIMAR never fail connection between devices; Netatmo fail the connection also between devices divided by just one meter.
