IKEA ecosystem has nice feature - even if coordinator is their gateway, I can use their remote to add distant devices to the network:
For or example:
- Setup IKEA gateway
- Pair it with IKEA 5-button remote
- Install IKEA bulb to the socket
- Activate pairing mode on the remote and hold it near the bulb → bulge were added to the network
With z2m I really miss this feature because many devices are very impractical to start near the coordinator. Some devices even require to be mounted somewhere while onboarding.
Is there some way how to create device what can behave like a coordinator while pairing, but share network keys with the main coordinator?
