Do the ZWave devices act as repeater as the ZigBee do?

Z-wave LR has no repeaters, it's a star topology. Regular old z-wave is a mesh, z-wave LR is not.

Depends on the device.

If it is AC powered, it acts as a repeater. If it is battery powered, it is only a node, not a repeater.

So, like ZigBee, thanks.
