Mine in on my "problem children" Zigbee network with my 3 Cree bulbs (All of which are in outside fixtures that leak and still refuse to die.) and my Syvania under-cabinet lights edge-lit lights which a couple other folks reported as screwing up their mesh, so better safe than sorry.
That's a Deconz network on a Conbee stick. It seems to play very well with the other devices I have over there and repeats well for the Crees.
I had 8. I kept two that are on an Almond 3 router (actually both my HEs are plugged into them, so I can remotely do a shutdown via HE, and a restart via the Almond). The other 6 I put on eBay, while indicating compatibility with Almond routers, the Amazon Echo Plus, and ST (but leaving Hubitat off the list).
I had an Almond+ made by the same company. It was supposed to be an 802.11ac access point, plus a home automation hub. It did neither of these things well.
I had no problem pulling them off. I only really use them for repeating, so they weren't critical to something working or not working. I just checked and I have a lot of 5 Iris plugs in my mailbox waiting for me to pick up. I can live without 2 peanuts.
Well, to be fair, my DIYHue hub, which my conbee is connected to, is my Raspberry Pi. Which also runs my Cast-Web-API server, my Google Assistant Relay server, my PiVPN server and performs my nightly Hubitat backup downloads. I think that's all it does....all for only $35 plus the Conbee.
And I've always said that having a Hue Bridge or second Hubitat for Bulbs doesn't count as "many hubs" because it's just an interface box...no logic involved. But I have to have my DIYHue....i have a ton of LED strips that are WiFi based that DIYHue integrates seamlessly with. I have about 10m of strips in my house for about the cost of 1 Hue Strip starter pack. And they all show up in Hubitat as if they were Hue Bulbs. I also have a Lutron Caseta Pro Bridge....but I don't consider that a hub either.
I have two of these.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a better zigbee smart plug?
I bought two peanuts to both solve a smartplug need AND as repeaters. Would happily replace them.
That was my experience with a motion and temp/humidity sensor (the latter being the newer/square version; can't remember which motion sensor), but some people have reported the opposite. YMMV. I do like these as repeaters, though. They seem to handle a lot of children and are also apparently attractive routes for my devices. They're just not cheap. Also, be sure you get the Zigbee (square-ish) version and not the WiFi one.
I also would put the Samsung plug (2018) at the top of my recommended devices list. They work perfectly, seem to repeat for at least 7 or 8 devices, and you can use @srwhite ‘s iris driver for customizing the power reporting. They also work well with my Lightify 4-button switches.
