Will Deco M9+ extend BLE range for sensors on HomeKit?
Deco M9+ and the coming X20 provides three mesh networks: WiFi, BLE and ZigBee. Intuitively one should believe HomeKit BLE sensors would improve their range with the Deco system. However, HomeKit uses an Apple proprietary protocol, so this is not obvious, although HomeKit sensors benefit from normal WiFi routers. My experience with HomeKit is that the BLE range will increase with the use of one or more additional HomeKit base units in "Waiting mode", so BLE "daisy chaining" works with expensive Apple devices.
