and it works presumably?
and how many zigbee devices and repeaters are installed on hubitat?
Yes I am getting temperature and wet/dry notifications. The ones I am pairing now are only a few feet from the hub so I assume they are connecting directly. I only have 1 Iris Smart Plug installed as a repeater and around 8 zigbee devices. These have been such a pain to move over I have left them for last. 120 devices so far total!
I will pair a few more Iris smart plugs as I move upstairs.
How far away from the hub is this repeater?
with 120 total devices, only 8 of them are zigbee?
I'm able to pair most zigbee devices in place through the repeaters I have installed.
20 or so feet.
I have mostly zwave. Have several contact sensors and temp sensors on zigbee. Most zigbee are these water sensors which I haven’t paired yet. I think I had around 30 zigbee devices total on ST.
Do you think its a channel issue? I recall @Navat604 saying he switched zigbee channels and couldn’t get one of his ST devices to pair and had to change it back. My hubitat is currently set to channel 17.
st sensors seem to love 14, 17 should be good, 26 doesn’t work with a fair number of devices.
I spend a good half day doinking with my three WIFI AP channels, the zigbee channel on hubitat, thinking i was smarter than the radio.
Finally I let the hub decide which channel to use, and it did a better job than I did…
ok thanks. I guess I will continue to disable zigbee and re-enable another 15 times to get the remaining paired. This is a pain. 
I would add a few more repeaters before going through all that for the remainder of those, you’re going to need them anyway. One repeater won’t carry 15 children that I’ve seen, the centralite OEM switch modules are good for around 6 to 8 each.
Do you have any rules or logic doing excessive polling? I have had issues where a run away code thought was seconds but was milliseconds and while that was running I couldn’t pair. I had to disable and restart ZigBee or reboot.
I paired up my 20 water sensors without issue. Only time I had issues pairing was my bad code in a loop.
I have polling on my GE zwave devices that don’t log physical events but nothing for zigbee. The only zigbee devices I have paired to Hubitat thus far are 3 contact sensors, 3 motion sensors, and 6 moisture sensors so far. I have motion lighting and smart lightting setup on the contacts and motions.
Try temporarily disabling or at least setting the polling timer to like 2 minutes and see if pairing goes better.
I’ve been pairing, unpairing, removing and repairing devices all day (for testing not because I enjoy the process 
) and the one thing I make sure is that the device is fully reset back to its original factory “waiting to be paired” state. Some devices will seem like they are removed when they really are not.
Try these steps. With a device that you recently removed from ST. Keep both hubs out of descover mode and reset the device itself twice. For that one I believe it’s holding down the tamper button for two seconds while putting the battery in? Then right after you pull the battery out after the second reset, place Hubitat in discovery mode and pop in the battery using the reset procedure one more time. It should show right up as descovered.
Done I added two more upstairs Iris smart outlets
Done I put a restriction on it for a certain mode which the hub is currently not in
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this didn't work. 
I have been doing 4 or so at a time so almost done at this point. After the zigbee restart they will sit in discover mode for about a minute and then one will pair at a time. 4 more to go!
Finally have them all paired. @mike.maxwell @patrick @coreylista Thank you all for the advice! Have a nice evening,

And no go on deleting these devices from the ST IDE because its down! Super happy I am here!

You don’t need to delete them. Just factory reset, pair to Hubitat, profit! That way you can keep your old automations for reference. The devices will just show as inactive.
Understood, my ST is pretty much dead so just trying to clean it up as I named the devices in Hubitat the same and plan to use Other Hub Event Pusher for Push Notifications until this feature exists in Hubitat.
Besides I have 136 devices in Hubitat now. Everything I can port over I have as of this post! Remaining:
I have an old v1 ST Motion that won’t work
An Iris keypad that I am hoping @mike.maxwell will create a driver for eventually.
I left my two zwave locks on ST because I prefer Rboys SmartApp and hoping he will start creating Hubitat drivers eventually (already been in contact with him).
My ST IDE is full of “other” devices.

Are you referring to the ST Motion Detector that has the option for USB power? If so, I have it working with Hubitat purely for motion. I don’t believe it reports battery %. I have it working with the Generic Zigbee Motion Sensor driver.
Yes that is the one! I tried pairing it yesterday but gave up pretty quickly. I was under the house pairing a few remaining, far reach devices, which that is one of. It turns on my crawl lights based on motion. 
I moved it under there once I got a large order of Iris motion sensors that look nicer.
Did you do anything special to pair? I have had a hellofa time with ST Zigbee devices pairing on Hubitat lately.
I don’t recall doing anything special. It was within a few feet of my hub when I paired it, though.
