3rd Party Extending Z-Wave / Repeating

Question

Hi There.  I have over a hundred Ring devices from lights, smoke/Co2 detectors, and all Ring Security devices.  I live in an old stone farmhouse and also have a cottage guest house.  I need to extend my Z-wave mesh network to the cottage which is about 175 feet from the Ring alarm base station.  Unfortunately, I can't place the base station in the middle of the home.  I do have a Ring gen 1 extender in line of sight about 30 feet away from the base station.  I do have Z-Wave connectivity through the house on all levels,  but it not reaching the cottage.  I don't believe another Ring Extender will fix the problem.  can I use The [Aeotec Range Extender 6](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6CKJXC?tag=ahrom-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1)  or 7 which works with Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus networks and works both as a range extender and a signal repeater?  thanks for any help.

Hi @TheRinger1. The only devices that are certified to work with Ring would be the Ring Alarm devices we have listed on the website. A 3rd party extender would not work. Also, the Ring Alarm System is intended to protect a home as opposed to multiple building across great distances. This type of setup exceeds the capabilities of the Ring Alarm system due to the amount of environmental interference. I hope this information helps.
