As u can see in my picture it works over here.
Did you do a full reset on this FW or just a update ?
when i am on second floor in my sleeping room i have direct connection from the plug to homey and when i have my motion sensor in my hand right at the same place the plug is, it has also direct connection to homey.
so now when ich go with my motionsnsor 2 meters away from that poit where both divices have direct connection to homey i will that my motion sensor takes the mesh of the plug to connect to homey. because the direct way is now too long.
but even when i let the motion sensor about 16 hours in 2 meter distance to the plug, it won't connect over the plug to homey. and i thought that the mesh of the plug will help. but it doesn't.
is it now better descripted? sorry but my english ist not so good.

p.s. i was hoping to get the yellow led when i test its range like in @Rocodamelshe picture some answers here before
Again;
Homey and zwave is very confusing.
And there is nothing wrong with ur english Phil.
another door sensor (normal zwave near to homey that works)
that are all my zwave devices. i just bought a dimmer 2 and a relais 1x2,5kw. these have to use the mesh from the wall plug for working. so i tested it with the motion sensor.
i am at the very beginning of building my zwave-home automation.
i was thinking that the plug would work like a wlan-repeater only in small (3-5 meter).
perhaps i should reset my motion sensor and repair it to homey?
i will now first try to repair the sensor. and second install the dimmer 2 near the wall plug. perhaps the mesh will grow then... thanks so far @Rocodamelshe ;
Since your motion sensor is ZW+ and uses a secure connection to Homey, maybe that's why he's not connecting through the plug?
@Rocodamelshe is your motion sensor in secure mode? i think there was a thread where the secure inclusion went wrong. but that was far a long time ago in firmware 8.38 or so.
but perhaps someone else can say something to this:
can a non secure device act as a zwave node with a secure device like a motion sensor 5gen?
Non Fibaro zwave+ just working fine
got the PIR to use mesh now , did add it again and left if beside Homey for 1 h then moved it to the kitchen and got yellow light
My flood sensor just blink green , yellow etc ....

I also hope that selling a product that still doesn't function properly in huge retail stores will not get the Homey platform killed. because many of us will just try and try again, but the occasional user will think he or she has a broken device and will bring it back within the return period.
If anyone has suggestions on how to get the motion sensor to work again (see already performed actions), please let me know

As stated before and ny many othes; Greenwave 1 and 6 nodes have been working for over a year with my Domoticz / Synology setup. So; it can work! It is Homey / Athom App related and the way z-wave is functioning right now.
Depending on the experimental firmware version I have had a stable Greenwave connection, a terrible one, and - currently - a 50/50 one.
Did extensive testings with the two devices in a range lower then 3 meters.
Looks to me that Z-wave is far beyond stable for selling as product on the market.
If they want to solve it, Athom should implement a way to log/monitor/see whats happening, so users (we) can do some testing, and report, to get Z-Wave reliable.
