My experience with HE

The repeater is also supported, as well as a 3rd party driver for the round dimmer that rotates (not the 5 button round thing).

Our official list of compatable devices is specific to devices which we provide drivers for within the platform.
Any other lists other than this one:

Would I be better off trying an ST presence fob (importing it) or life360 you reckon ?
Pretty sure I saw a @Cobra app based on child presence devices - was that right ?

I combine ST phone presence with HE phone presence with L360 with Locative :slight_smile:
Presence Central will combine them into one virtual presence device.

In my cars I use ST zigbee presence sensors converted to run on AA batteries

i've got my wife my my phones online and working, I just cant get the built in app to find our circle..

Ho hum, looks like the guy I gave the money to for my ikea repeaters has done the runner/not replying. There goes $100 to the HA gods.
Back to the drawing board / trying to source something local, those USB plugs would be so easy to deploy though.

You can just order these on their website instead of picking them up in the store.

If you live in a country where they deliver.. That is correct.
These you cant get in Aus and he was in the US and going to forward them onto me.

You can also look into a reshipping service. Order it to a special US address, and they reship it to you in AUS. I haven't used one, so I don't have any recommendations though.

How much is shipping from the US to AUS anyway? My friend shipped a tiny box from the US to Germany which had a mug and two shirts in it, and it cost like $85. I looked into returning a broken dashcam to china that I paid $27 for, and even though it cost them like $3 to send it to me, it was around $50 to ship it back.

Yeah - I just thought it would be quicker with someone I thought I knew over in the US.
Shipping was like 45 bucks.

Also, if a retailer won't take a credit card that's not from their country, you should be able to use privacy.com to create a virtual card number with a fake name and address and use that to order.

We have ikea here, its just they dont have this product part here (ikea signal repeater) so I wanted to get them from the US and have them shipped here is all. Just the guy I got to do it took my monies and didnt send me my repeaters.

Did you just use a random guy to do it for you? No offence but if so that was abit optimistic.

Nah, this is a guy ive know for 4+ years who moved over there in the last 12 months.
I dont give money to strangers and hope for the best lol

Wow, what a dork !
Sorry to hear that.
I’ve had good results with one of these
Zigbee Repeater
and have another to get to get my Zigbee mesh out to my shed.
You can just wire up Active and Neutral and away you go.

Yep - agreed.
I just bought one off fleabay and will go that a go. Just really wanted the clean-ness of the usb plug. But thats ok.

Bah, im so stuck at the moment.
I have ST door sensors, Iris motion sensors, Xiaomi temp sensors and other bits and pieces all sitting here and no repeaters to build out my network. Its super frustrating. Atleast my rules / routines are running well and I can see the system humming away no issue.
Would like to lock down this presence issue with Life360 but supports taking awhile to get back to me. I am going to add the wifi presence in and look at Cobras presence central app. But other than that im kinda stuck til I can find some repeater options.

If devices aren’t falling off your mesh then it’s holding up but adding Repeaters will strengthen it.
This is a handy URL to use...

they aren't falling off as they haven't been developed yet. I wanted to build a proper mesh network with repeaters First, then add the devices in. Backwards I know, but its the way i wanted to do it.
