I've tried a couple of different rooms in the house, and the setup works well in the same physical locations with the USB z-wave stick instead of the board.

I have the latest board(s) then. Range is roughly 3-4 meters, in the same room. Again, it seems to send commands to devices at decent range. I have one z-wave device in a separate building, and it responds to commands sent, but the responses are obviously lost. It's the reception that seems broken...

Please read the mark on the crystal. If it is E, you have European boards. Where have you bought them? For US you need boards with U. Greetings! They both have U. The first board was purchased via Amazon, the 2nd from z-wave.us. Interesting that the Amazon and z-wave.us web sites both show a board ...

Well, if nothing else, this Smartstick+ usb device is working swell so far... I'd still like to know what's up with the Razberry, though...

I'm about to give up on this thing. New board (which I got to pay for) arrived today - same issue. Seems to SEND z-wave fine, the devices react appropriately. It just doesn't get return commands very well at all - If the z-wave devices is VERY close (within a meter or two, max), it seems to work, bu...

You're very welcome, glad this helped out. Please post back with the results after you extend the antenna (I've been meaning to do this). Just trimmed off the on-board antenna, and soldered in an 82mm length of wire. No change. Range is dismal - as in, not even 20 feet in the same room. Starting to...

Which devices do you use with your Razberry... I've got an assortment of plug-in modules, and an ecolink door sensor for testing. I'm going to try the external antenna today - It seems like the on board antenna is in a pretty RF hostile environment, being in close planar proximity to the operating ...

You have the latest version and includes instructions on extending the range using an add-on antenna. Ok, very interesting, thanks. I'll admit I hadn't read that far in the instruction sheet. Now I'm concerned that my board "stock" out of the box, is still not very effective - it seems li...

Ahh, interesting, thank you very much! Which is the "new hardware" version? The one I have looks like this:

I have a new Razberry Z-Wave + board, and the range is not good. Anything more than 3 or 4 meters, line of sight, and the devices fail regularly. Commands send TO the device seemingly ok, but the reception is very very poor. I am using this with homeseer software on my Raspberry Pi 3, but also have ...
