Lonhonso zigbee no neutral switches are NOT repeaters

[Tolik]

I am new here and need help of community.
I have 15 Lonhonso Tuya Zigbee Noneutral Smart switches from Ali express.
Half of them close to the hub works fine with both(generic or zemismart drivers).
Another half of switches far from hub cannot be connect to the hub. I tried many times. Sometimes hub can find new device but can't initialize it.
I turned hub for 30 minutws. Restarted it. Nothing helps.
I am concdering to buy some signal repeater to try to solve this issue.
Can you suggest what should I choose?

Have you taken a look at your zigbee child and route info?

Good thread on interpreting results here:

Newbie Question: Zigbee Status / Route Info

Hi everyone Medical professional here so this is all new and challenging for me. Will appreciate the help Recently switched from ST to Hubitat C7 and so far liking it a fair bit. Reason to switch was (1) ST going obsolete and (2) more flexibility with HE. When I migrated I TRIED to do things the "recommended" way for example (1) pairing devices in the location they'd sit (2) pairing repeaters first then lights and sensors (3) doing it slowly a few devices at a time (4) setting up automations…

Didn't know about this feature. I will try it. Thank you

So, I checked my zigbee mesh and found out that none of my switches is a repeater.
The only repeater I have is BEOK Thermostat in WC and this is why my switches far from the hub are out of reach zone.
Thank you Brad

Tuya USB Repeater plug it in and done.
Sonoff Dongle 3.0 Which will need to flashed.

Or, some locally available good quality ZigBee plug.

BEOK thermostats seems to be bad Zigbee repeaters… The Tuya dedicated repeater is working very well in my Zigbee mesh, despite the small size and presumably compromise antenna inside.
