What's the operating distance this needs to be all items you wish to control via the hub? Can you use multiple hubs to cover a larger area? null

The communication technology (Z-Wave, Zigbee) allows the signals to be relayed from one device to the next. You will never need more than one hub. I have a large home and all of the devices work flawlessly. NOTE: The initial setup of a device will need to be done near the hub, like with 20 feet. Once it is connected to the smart network, it will communicate through all other devices to the hub.

I've not had an issue with devices that where 45 feet away from the hub, not sure what the max distance is but it's going to depend on how clear the line of sight is from the hub to the devices. You don't need a 2nd hub to extend, just buy a Samsung smart outlet since it has a built in range extender.

I would recommend:

Samsung - SmartThings Smart Outlet - White

I have a 3200 sq ft house with the hub on the main level of 3 story house and it works great on devices spread to every corner.

No, you can not use multiple hubs in the same location.

depends on a number of factors but generally I've seen it work over a distance of about 50 feet. But it also creates a mesh network which increases the range
