from filibar "Move a device closer to the router A3 in the meantime"

That's not so easy to do if the device wanted is an in-wall light switch.  I ended up having to swap locations for a couple of my A3's (had the luxury of having ethernet already strung from one end of the building to the other end), in order to get my A3 master back to where all the smart devices are to be connected.

I think it's likely that a LOT of people are going to be VERY happy when A3 has the ability to add smart devices through one of the A3 slaves, not just the master.

True, it is not possible if you only have in-wall switches. But say you installed one switch too far from the current mesh... if you happened to have a plug-in outlet handy also, you could put that somewhere closer to act as the repeater until such a time as the mesh is more complete. I actually do that with a plugin outlet near my garage inside the house to help connect with an outdoor plugin module on the opposite, outside, side of the garage.
