what is the reason that you want this.
PIR's are for detection and can be associated with switches and dimmers.
Every PIR can communicate with more than one device.

i want this so they can transfer a signal through each other (I thought this was possible) That's more energy efficient.. My homeseer server is not really nearby all my z-wave sensors, so bad signal by some sensors, and the battery's are empty fast..

Your sensors don't communicate with each other? i have only Z-wave sensors in my house at the moment.

This called routing
Battery power devices can't be used as router. The Express control PIr has this function but this will dry the batteries very quick.
Best is to use some zwave switches or dimmers for extending the distance between your devices.
