I understand that, but this device seems to focus on huge houses or something. I have no problems in my apartment with my USB zigbee dongle that let's me hide away the whole system in a closet...
If what you currently have already works for you, why be concerned with the form factor of something designed for a slightly different use case?
Because this is the only antenna they sell now and is a huge jump from the previous. Buying a new zigbee antenna can be a bit hit or miss, so having an officially supported one, specially one where the profits also support the project long-term success, is important. So excuse me if I'm disappointed that the antenna stands more prominently than a dildo. If the antenna could tilt 90 degrees, it would at least fit on any shelf.
DM me and Iโll sell you my gen 1.
