@gnaw38502 I have 2 peanut plugs that work great (and have for 2+yrs) and bought a new one recently. I can't get the new one to pair for the life of me. Do you remember if there is a trick to it?

If you want just a Repeater, the Ikea Tradfri Repeater works and is good value.

GE Zigbee plug. Some Zigbee bulbs are repeaters, and the later model Sylvania/Osram plugs are repeaters (I have older ones, they don't repeat but people have shown the current version does). Can get 4 packs for like $52 so they're not overly expensive. Mine have been working for ages without issue, reliable.
