Ah. In that case, you can just drop them off at my place in 19127, instead of sending them to Harrisuburg. 
I got 2 for 24 bucks. They were perfectly, fixed my Zigbee mesh issue!

Anyone know if any of the Iris V1 stuff still works with Hubitat? The keypad, window contact sensors. I did search but everything I find on it is very old.
No, the old Lowe’s Iris V1 devices are not supported whatsoever on the C8 and C8 Pro hubs. While they might still sort of work on earlier hubs, it is really best to avoid those old, non-standard devices at this time.

Thank you.
I have enough of them for myself already you’re welcome to them.
I'll assume you have a C8 or newer hub. On my C7 I am using the original V1 keypad, and it's by far the most reliable & versatile I've ever used( Ihave 5 other Iris keypads). Doubles as a button controller with the driver from @iris . And these are dirt cheap 10-15 USD. Batteries last 1.5- 2 years with daily use.
I have a C7 that a friend gave me when he switched to Smartthings. I didn't end up buying any of the gen 1 stuff. I did purchase a bunch of the V2 plugs and sensors on ebay and they work great. I got the 3210-l working as a Zigbee plug and a Zwave repeater. No issues. They all have the latest firmware and I found clear easy to follow directions on getting them to pair. The motion sensors are awesome. Motion, Temp and humidity. I calibrated all of them with the salt trick and they are dead on with the temp and humidity. All super cheap.
do tell, what is the trick? Thanks
A (very) small cup of water that’s saturated with salt in a ziploc bag will maintain the relative humidity at 75% in the bag. Put a humidity sensor in there and see how close it gets then calibrate as needed.

ETA: unfortunately for most sensors used in home automation devices, accuracy at 75% doesn’t mean they’ll remain as accurate when the RH is 40%, 30% or other lower ends of the humidity range that might occur in a home.
In order to test that, I think you either need a lot of chemistry knowledge to DIY a test or a product that’s designed to maintain the RH in an enclosed space at a set level like 35% or 45% (made for humidors, guitar cases, etc.)

And the temp accuracy can be verified by putting the sensor in a ziplock bag and immersing it a ice water bath. Crushed ice works best. Place in a refrigerator to slow down the melting versus at room temp. Add ice as necessary. It should be a slurry mixture, fill the container with ice then add water.
Mixture brings the sensor down to 32 or 0 within 10-20 minutes.
Thank you, I just used another Temp sensor that I know is accurate for that part of my calibration. I got one of the kits off from eBay.

And these plugs.
This guy must have emptied Lowes out when it closed. Lol
I also got one of these kits because it came with 2 plugs and a motion sensor.
