Iris 3210-L Zigbee Zwave repeater?

[jlv]

TL/DR: don't bother buying them to use as a Z-wave repeater

I have about 10 of these in use (some since 2016). But these days, I only use the Zigbee plug side. They work great for that.

When I first started, I joined the Z-wave side to use as repeaters. Like others, I found they seem to not work very well. See this post:

How to find device Generic ZWave Repeater?

Just to help you save some work: I have found the Z-wave repeater portion of these to not be very good. I have 10 of these plugs, most are 3210-L and a few 3210-L2. My humble suggestion is to just not include the Z-wave part, especially if you have other mains-powered Z-wave devices that act as repeaters. If you choose to ignore that advice, you should at least consider using this driver for the Z-wave repeater: [RELEASE] Iris SmartPlug Z-Wave Repeater (3210-L + others)

There is other background on the Z-wave side of them in this thread, and in the thread linked on the SmartThings community.

Missing documentation - IRIS Smart Plug (3210-L) Z-Wave Repeater

On the Compatible Devices page of the documentation (List of Compatible Devices - Hubitat Documentation), it lists the ' IRIS Smart Plug (3210-L) Z-Wave Repeater' in addition to the Zigbee side. But if you look at the Iris section of the Join an Reset instructions (Join and Reset Instructions - Hubitat Documentation) linked on the same page, the Z-wave portion doesn't exist. I can't swear to it, but I was sure that was where I got the instructions for joining the Z-wave side awhile back.
