Can someone please show me a link to all the parts needed to build an Xbee zigbee repeater did a search but couldn't get a clear answer of the board and parts and software needed to build it.

Here's a post I wrote where I summarized the various options. It's a couple years old at this point, but I think all the model names and whatnot are still applicable. I'd go with an Xbee 3 now unless you have a reason to use (or can only find) the S2C, but I think everything else still holds: …

Ok so to be clear I only need one part or do I have to assemble a board and other pieces?

FYI if you are only going to use it to strengthen your mesh you might consider getting ikea/hue outlets or similar as they will probably work out to be cheaper.

ok thx guys I have some V2 iris plugs right now and I made the mistake of also turning on the z wave side and now my ring keypads connected to my C-7 are dead slow to respond and I have been trying to exclude the z wave side with no luck so i'm just going to pull the whole plug and replace with a zi…

[image] biggkatt01: I only need one part or do I have to assemble a board and other pieces? You need two parts, the Xbee module itself and a board to power it. All you have to do is put the Xbee into the board, which is very easy (and make sure the mounting type of your Xbee matches that of t…

Yep totally agree xbees are #1 for zigbee use (I have a couple of S2Cs, one of which I use for mesh mapping) but they are horrendously pricey (especially now the series 2 is no longer available). I've also experimented with CC2350/CC2591 combos and they do work ok as well as being cheaper (althoug…

ok super good stuff guys i'll check both posts out i'm busy trying to get thses damn iris z wave plugs excluded man this sucks.

@biggkatt01 Once you pull the power from the plug, if you go to the Zwave Details page and hit refresh on the device a few times it should eventually give you a remove button. After you get it removed I'd consider doing a shutdown and unplug the hub from the wall for 30 seconds or so.

Thx thebearmay, I was able to get them excluded late last night I unplugged all 4 of my hubs for about 30 mins and low and behold me z wave mesh is back to normal.

I use these and they work well. XBee Explorer Dongle $25.95 XBee S2C with the pcb antenna $23.10 I got 2 of each and put one on the first floor and the other on the second floor. I may do one more for the basement. I set them up with XCTU You can find everything you could possibly need to know …
