FortiAP and Zigbee
Hi
I was wondering if anybody have made a Fortinet network with, FG, FS and multiple FortiAP 233G and how to extend the Zigbee network to get IOT devices to work all over the network with example an Homey Pro Since it would not be able to cover the entire office area.
If you have an idea for something better than a Homey Pro, please let me know.

I see no guides or docs for this specific scenario.
BLE and Zigbee are supported by these FortiAP models:
This could work if the Hub (Homey Pro) can connect to the FortiAPs with the BLE or Zigbee profiles enabled. FortiAPs are then normally managed by FortiGate
Documentation: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiap/7.6.0/fortiwifi-and-fortiap-configuration-guide/543527/bl...
For FortiAPs with built-in Bluetooth radios, the FortiGate can configure FortiAP Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scan and integrate with several BLE Beacon profiles.
It might be worth checking with Fortinet Sales and request a PoC (proof of concept) for this.
