Repeater

The MeshTek Bluetooth repeater acts as a long range extender, or Bluetooth signal booster that is required in large projects or for extended control range requirements of over hundreds of meters. With a simple app based commissioning, the repeater becomes the part of the networked devices under the network, further enhancing the range of the Bluetooth mesh. It also has built-in real time scheduling features REQUIRED for scheduling MR16, PAR36, and G4 bipin bulbs.

Repeaters are not necessary in most roofline installs but there are times when they can be helpful or needed to enchance the connection. Example of roofline installs that might need a repeater : 

1. An owner has multiple buildings (Main house, guest house, pool house, etc) and they are having issues connecting to the guest house from the main house. Adding a repeater in between those distances or at the end of a run will help with this connection issue. 

Powering a repeater :

You can power a repeater by connecting it to the end of a nugget controller run or different places in the run using a T way connector. 

Landscape lighting situation with no nuggets to connect a repeater for power : 

Connect power from the landscape lighting to the repeater (12V/ AC power) by cutting the 2 pin connector, then splice the repeater in with the existing power run for the landscape lighting. This needs to be sealed properly to be protected from moisture and weather conditions.
