I'm looking to upgrade from a C7 to a C8 Hubitat. Are they compatible?
Hubitat Elevation Model C-8 Hub - Pro (EU / UK version)
Can the C7 be used as a slave to the C8 to improve connectivity as my C7 does not seem able to control the few things I have so far.? I have a brick chimney stack in the middle of my house which probably screens the signal & I am concerned that a new C8 Hub plus more parts - UFH Thermostat & a Fibaro Radiator Thermostst may still not get seen. I have given up with my Aeotec towel rail controller as the C7 can run it & despite factory re-sets, the Aeotec has died & is not listed on their website, so seems to have been withdrawn from sale.

The Hubitat Elevation Model C-8 Hub - Pro (EU/UK version) offers significant enhancements for smart home enthusiasts. With external antennas for both Z-Wave and Zigbee, the Hubitat C8 ensures improved point-to-point range. Both technologies are mesh networks, so adding more mains-powered devices will further boost range, coverage, and stability. For expansive properties where a dense mesh might still fall short, the Hubitat hub supports "Hub Mesh." This feature allows multiple Hubitat hubs to operate within a single system, each managing its own Z-Wave and Zigbee networks. These hubs synchronize over WiFi or Ethernet, creating a unified system. Vesternet offers this advanced solution to optimize your smart home setup effectively.
