I'm deeply confused. I have a shitload of Zooz stuff that supports Long Range. Does the whole star topology and everything. Is this some sort of new development? Or did the author miss the long range stuff that's been available for a year now?

EDIT: many commentors over on Ars are also confused.

From what I understood from the Zooz documentation, it requires that your controller support LR before the devices can take advantage of it.

This is true, but LR controllers have also been a thing for a few years now. zwave-js-ui lacked support until fairly recently, but the hardware has been out for a while.
