Finder 1Y.E8.230 – 1Y Series YESLY – Range extender

Why Choose the Finder 1Y.E8.230 YESLY Wireless Range Extender?

The Finder 1Y.E8.230 is a compact YESLY wireless range extender designed to increase the effective communication coverage of Finder's YESLY smart home and building automation system. Operating at 2.4 GHz and powered by a 110–230 V AC supply, this wireless signal repeater helps maintain communication between compatible YESLY transmitters and receivers across larger or more challenging indoor installations.

Part of the Finder Series 1Y YESLY accessory range, the 1Y.E8.230 provides a practical solution when building layout, distance or structural obstacles reduce wireless communication performance. By positioning the range extender between communicating devices, installers can improve signal coverage without installing additional control wiring between individual YESLY components.

Designed for recessed mounting in standard 60 mm diameter wall boxes or suitable junction boxes, the Finder 1Y.E8.230 features compact dimensions of approximately 43 × 44.1 × 21.9 mm. Its plug-and-play operation requires no configuration, and up to four range extenders can be used within a single YESLY device group, providing a flexible approach to extending wireless control throughout residential and commercial properties.

Extend Finder YESLY Wireless Coverage Without Additional Control Wiring

The Finder YESLY system provides wireless control of compatible lighting and electrical automation devices. As with other wireless systems, communication performance can be affected by distance, internal walls, building materials and the position of installed equipment. The Finder 1Y.E8.230 addresses these limitations by extending the effective communication range between compatible YESLY devices.

The range extender operates on the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency and offers an approximate transmission range of 10 m in free space without obstacles. Actual performance depends on the building structure, surrounding equipment and installation conditions. For reliable operation, Finder recommends positioning the extender centrally between the transmitter and receiver rather than at the perimeter of the property.

One of the most useful characteristics of the Finder 1Y.E8.230 is its plug-and-play functionality. The device does not require programming or configuration before use. Once correctly installed and powered, it operates as part of the compatible YESLY wireless arrangement.

For installations requiring wider coverage, up to four range extenders can be used within a single YESLY device group. This allows installers to address communication gaps across multiple rooms or building areas while retaining the existing wireless control architecture.

The compact housing is designed for installation inside a suitable 60 mm diameter recessed wall box or junction box. The device is powered through its live (L) and neutral (N) screw terminals, using an appropriate 110–230 V AC supply. It is a wireless communication accessory rather than a load-switching relay, so it does not replace the YESLY actuator or receiver responsible for controlling the connected electrical load.

Finder also advises against installing the range extender close to the 1Y.P2 interface. Careful positioning, adequate enclosure space and adherence to the manufacturer's wiring instructions are important for dependable performance.
