Range extender
I'd like to have a range extender for my tado products, so when my bridge can't reach all Tado units, I can put a device in between that will repeat the signal.
One solution could be a repeater, like IKEA has for their Tradfri line. Another option would be to switch modes on a bridge, so it could be used as a secondary node instead of the gateway function it has now.
I hope you can address this issue, like it has been addressed for Zigbee and Zwave.

Please carry out a search of the Community Forum for this feature.........

I was requested by customer service to put this request in a post... I guess I expected they already had a look here but I'll search for it and upvote. I find it quite annoying the customer has to suggest and vote for a solution that should have been there for a long time.
In my defence, tags like Range and Repeater did not yield any results.

Just returned from a query... Why don't you bundle these posts?? There's a lot of requests for range extending, but now they count as individual? Use your moderating powers to combine them maybe...

I'm not a Forum Moderator......so I can't bundle them together.......prospective posters of "REQUESTS" should realistically carry out some form of Community Forum search to ensure that they don't waste their time raising a NEW/OLD active request. Then upvote the original post to add their weight behind an outstanding request.
2 or 3 or more threads on the same topic with (for example) 30ish votes will simply not be seen by tado° as a feature request that deserves their time or interest........hence, why tado° support "recommended" that you "open a new request" in the Community Forum.......tado° isn't stupid but they appear to be devious imho

They should have pointed out this post: https://community.tado.com/en-gb/discussion/comment/28852/#Comment_28852
Issue 3 covers exactly this. Why aren't they more transparent in their product development? I'm quite frustrated that such a "simple" thing that has been around for quite some time takes so much time to implement. The examples are there in Zwave and Zigbee, or general mesh networking. Go and implement!

There is another feature request with currently over 450 votes (and thats just in the English forum) and it's still not going anywhere.

Too bad this forum is just a simple bulletinboard instead of e.g. a wiki, so the community members could actually help ordering things.0

Seconded. Range limitation is my major frustration with tado. There appears to be a lot of support for it amongst tado users (dating back to 2016/2017 at least), yet no indication from tado that they're doing anything to address it.
Are there any practical workarounds?
