This just is not working for me 
Ok, well, let's say I did almost everything recommended. I just moved it closer, probably only 5-6 ft closer and it found it. Super touchy...but it worked!

So it was the 8 super fast pushes of the power button while in z-wave pairing mode and being very close to the hub that worked? Do you know which firmware version your plug is on?
Correct. I moved it closer, probably 4-5 feet away from the hub, and pressed the button 8 times (it seemed like 10 times always turns it off) and it paired.
Is there a way to see the firmware version in hubitat? I paired them about two weeks before iris went offline so I assume they had the latest as I doubt Lowes really cared about doing anymore software updates for their devices.
Ok, next outlet didn't work. Tried moving it closer, and following all of the steps I did before but no luck. So then I remembered the only other thing I did with the previous one and that was (unintentionally?) doing the factory reset by holding in the button when I plugged it in. So I did this, the outlet reset and went back into pairing mode. I paired it to Zigbee, then did the ZWave and it worked. So here are my steps that I took:
- Moved the outlet 4-5 feet next to the hub.
- Unplugged the outlet.
- Started Zigbee pairing on the hub.
- Held the button and plugged it back in.
- As soon as the light on the outlet came on, I released the button.
- The device was found as the previous outlet with name and everything already there. I made sure it was saved by going into the devices tab in the hub app.
- Unplugged the device. Waited 30 Seconds.
- Started Zwave discovery.
- Waited 5-10 seconds.
- Pressed the button 8 times very quickly.
- The device showed up. I saved it. After moving it to the original location, I did a ZWave repair.
I have 3-4 more of these so I will try this same process on those.

So it looks like this process works but when I tried the next one, it assigned an id of 0E to that device. I fat fingered something because I am using my phone to do this and it hung and didn't finalize the addition of that device. When I repeated the process, it assigned an id of 0F to the same device. What happened to the other id? Is it ghosted somewhere in the system or does it not matter? I looked through my device list and don't see anything with the id of 0E.
The hub will clear the ghost device on the nightly maintenance.
Ok, good! I got the rest of them paired.
Now to get my schlage lock paired...I think I am going to have to run a 30 ft cable over to it with the hub attached just to get it paired.

Update A second lot of 5 devices is on its way to me at an accepted offer of $45.
Received a Lot of 5 Z-Wave Plus Smart Plug Model 3210-L White Zigbee today. He's asking $66, my offer of $50 was accepted.
All but one paired the Outlet (Zigbee) right away, I did replug one once. That may have been my impatience and expectations after reading some of these posts.
Three of the Repeaters (Z-Wave) paired with 8 fast button presses without issue. On two I did the following once each:
One was paired in place, the other four in the same location and then moved them. Z~Wave repair is running hoping my sensor issues (intermittent response failure) get resolved.
Thanks for the tips, hints and device suggestion.

Good deal.
I will say I haven't had any issues with these plugs after getting them connected. They seem to have done the job of extending my ZWave network, particularly my Schlage lock. I had drops on this and after adding in 6 of these plugs, my lock hasn't dropped.
I can't believe that person is still selling them in lots of five on eBay. They must have a ton of them. I just paired my five in Zigbee and Zwave without too much issue. It's nice that these are actual relay controlled outlets. I have a few of the 2GIG-Z-BRDG-433 dimmers and those have leakage current and are really only good for incandescent lighting (leakage current allows LED's to light up). I'm super happy with these 3210-L outlets, especially at $10/ea.

So other than the incompatibility with Xiaomi devices, is this one of the best options for adding inexpensive repeaters?
I have a few xiaomi devices, but also have some tradfri outlets and a second HE, so I could potentially connect the tradfri and xiaomi to one hub, and these iris outlets on the other. (They would only be there to serve as repeaters, I don't have much use for smart outlets beyond one or two.)

That's how I've done it with 2 hubs and it works well. No repeating zigbee bulbs on either hub and everything seems to be stable.
IMHO, yes. I have been very pleased with the Iris 3210-L outlets acting as Zigbee / Z-Wave repeaters. I used Sengled (non-repeating) Zigbee bulbs, along with numerous Zigbee sensors, and have a very stable, reliable Zigbee mesh network.

This is what I've done. I use a combination of Iris plugs, Peanut plugs, and a couple Samsung plugs as repeaters on my non-Xiaomi Hubitat.
I just got some of these plug from Alex Sari on Ebay . There are no instructions. With all the info above, I managed to get them installed as both Z-Wave repeaters and Zigbee outlets. For Z-Wave, I did a factory reset - push and hold button while plugging into wall - when it starts blinking - a slow blink, then do the Hubitat zwave inclusion. I had to run the inclusion a second time before it found it. I don't know why 60 seconds the first time wasn't enough but there you go. For Zigbee, once powered on, press the button quickly (8? times) until it starts blinking on its own. The do the zigbee scan with Hubitat - it found mine quickly.
I think you have those steps backwards for Zigbee and ZWave.

Nope. It's what worked for me. Clearly, there's more (not) going on than just press 8 times.
Upon first power up/factory reset, the unit will first try to locate a Zigbee network. If none is found, it will then try to connect to a Z-wave network. (It supposedly can be utilized as strictly a repeater.)
