The newer rectangular Sengled Zigbee outlets are Zigbee repeaters.

The original square Sengled outlets are NOT Zigbee repeaters.

The older square ones don't repeat but the new rectangular ones are supposed to.
Just looking at my Route Table Entry there's none showing at the moment though.
But in my Neighbor Table Entry there is:
[Plug Sengled NB7_02 Garage, EE3F], LQI:254, age:5, inCost:1, outCost:1

edit: :slight_smile: like @ogiewon said :point_up:

The new SYLVANIA Smart ZigBee Smart Plugs arrived and as soon as they were on the network the other new Sengled bulbs I had been trying to get connected all discovered correctly. Glad I came on here to ask as I never would have figured that out on my own.

Thanks to everyone for the assist and info!

FYI. Check the model number before installing them.
My own experience with the Sylvania plugs hasn't been great.
Using the Osram version aka Model 72922 (no "-A" ) gave me a very weak mesh with lots of issues.
The Ledvance version aka Model 72922-A seems to be less problematic for my ZigBee mesh.
I've had much better results using the TRÅDFRI outlets and repeaters for mesh stability.

They haven’t caused any problems for me, but I have never seen them in the route table. The Samsung Zigbee 3.0 plugs, and to a lesser extent the GE Zigbee 3.0 dimmers, route nearly everything on my mesh. Glad I bought enough when they were available.

Thanks Ranchitat, will check that out.
