Not sure what update caused this, but I have now got 3 Sonoff Zigbee motion sensors showing as repeaters in the Zigbee routing table

Neighbor Table Entry
[Guest Bathroom Motion , 00EC], LQI:255, age:7, inCost:1, outCost:0
[Repeater Main Bedroom, 0153], LQI:248, age:4, inCost:3, outCost:7
[Repeater Rayden's Room, 0B0D], LQI:255, age:4, inCost:1, outCost:1
[Lounge Stairs Motion, 0C84], LQI:254, age:7, inCost:1, outCost:0
[Repeater Kitchen, 3B83], LQI:255, age:4, inCost:1, outCost:1
[Repeater XBee3, B3B0], LQI:255, age:4, inCost:1, outCost:1
[Computer Room Motion Door, BF2E], LQI:255, age:7, inCost:1, outCost:0

These are all battery powered Sonoff Zigbee motion sensors. Why are they now showing as repeaters? I have rebooted and they go away, only to slowly return a few hours later?

Just noticed mine are doing that too. All with outCost:0. Curious to know whats going on. I have 4 of them appearing on the neighbour table

Not sure why, but never got a reply for this?

I am seeing this in my log display too. Any clues why this might be happening?

I have no explanations but the best way to get a full map of your mesh is to use a zigbee sniffer (xbee) and a mesh analysis tool like XCTU (free) to see what's actually linked to what.

I use mine quite often and is well worth the cost of an xbee to get a way better picture of the various links than the built in hubitat tool.
