Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With the 700 and 800 chipsets Silicon Labs added a new parallel channel/protocol to ZWave named Long Range. Devices that utilize ZWave Long Range are starting to be released. https://community.inovelli.com/t/z-wave-800-series-2-1-switch-on-off-dimmer-project-phoenix/11428 https://atrim.co/zwave/stick-hub/ https://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/zooz-800-series-z-wave-long-range-usb-stick-zst39

Describe the solution you'd like Support for ZWave Long Range frequency and protocol on the 700 and 800 chipsets.

Describe alternatives you've considered The UI allows you to select the US Long Range region and some grepping implies that initial work towards ZWave Long Range was done. Though it looks like it is not complete.
